Starting here...

We got home from Huntsville today. We had a great time. Kelly and Garet are both doing really good. Their house is so cute and the town is awesome. We spent a lot of quality time together which was much needed. Eric is leaving 14 days from today. Bummer. So we talked a lot about the marines, boot camp, california and watched some videos on what all he will be doing. Im not really sure how it makes other people feel (such as family) to talk details but for me i want to know. We watch movies all the time and talk about it often. Some movies i dont make it through without saying "eric WILL NOT be doing this". It just makes me feel better. Ive done really good (i think) dealing with everything, but watching Kelly tell Eric bye today was not easy. it actually sucked. Funny story though, we were discussing the food that they will give eric during "the crucible", which is his very last test to pass to graduate boot camp, and Garet had some of it. haha. It comes in a pouch and it had beef stew, crackers, coffee, hot sauce, a hoo-rah bar, and some condiments...It looks awful. Somehow he will have to heat water up and add it to the beef stew (assuming he gets the beef stew pouch) As gross as it sounds, Eric seems pretty excited about it. HE'S EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF IT!! that makes it soooo much easier for me. Kelly looks awesome. She seems to be feeling good and Colins room should be coming together very soon (thats the babys name, Colin Davis Beane). Eric and Garet moved the bed out of his room so they can paint and start moving furniture in. We got to see the bedding for the crib and its perfect. I cant wait to see it all together and most of all to meet him!! I didnt take any pictures in Alabama :( when kelly sends hers to me i will post some.

Im imagining that these next two weeks will be CRAZY! We have a lot of people to see and some things to do around the house, such as teach me how to start the lawn mower...grrrreat. We havent spent any of our bed bath and beyond gift cards so i am hoping that while im off next week we can get couch covers and curtains for our windows :) thats fun stuff!! Momma moved in to her house this weekend, I cant wait to go see it! and her and sissy :) :) I guess this is enough rambling for my first blog. Until next time...

Love Always.
