No pics....but a post none the less

I'm at work, and obviously hardly working. I don't have any pics to add to this, but because I am so insanely bored, I'll update this thing regardless.

My last post was after we got back to Texas in August. The summer was great...it was hard to leave Utah but we did it. Me, mom, the girls, and Lola drove the Jeep and made it in record time. Our house was pretty much as we left it, except for the dead front lawn.

Donnie's a recruiter in Harker Heights and he loves it. I teach the CEI Reading class at an elementary school here in Killeen. I can't say I love it. Mar is in 2nd grade and Ry is in Pre-K. It works out that I work here because we all go home together and there's no need for a sitter!

We lost our sweet little nephew and cousin Logan the first part of December and made the trip back to Utah. It was horrifying and completely devastating. I've never experienced anything so sad in my entire life. What I wasn't expecting though, was the amount of people that cared. Tracy and Rod are amazing parents and apparently amazing friends because here it is, almost 2 months later, and they are still being shown incredible acts of compassion and generosity. Our little Logey will be missed...and our hearts won't heal completely, but the fact that he won't ever have to experience pain here on Earth or deal with struggles that he would have otherwise gives me peace.

My mom is coming to stay with us next Friday until MARCH. It's pretty much all my wildest dreams come true. I can't even begin to fathom how awesome it will be to have that much time with my mom. I left home 11 years ago, and I've missed my mother!

Me and Donnie have the Recruiter Conference to go to on the 27th-30th. It'll be fun :) It's in Dallas and they're putting us up in a swanky hotel and even paying us TDY to go. I'm all for it.

ALSO...on the 22nd we're going to the UFC fight on Fort Hood...so watch that on Spike and look for us!

That's all. Stinkin kids are here. Later.
