What we've been up to

Andrew left for CAX Thursday last week.So, before then we tried to just get in some together time because this deployment is sneaking up on us faster than we expected it too. We went to Mike's Farm with some friends, Holly and Travis, to get pumpkins then we came back to the house and carved them. We also went on a dinner date for the first time in what felt like forever. Usually we're to tired or Andrew is super busy and gets home really late. Mostly we just spent time together.

The day that Andrew left was proof that the MC is nothing but a huge cluster fuck. Information was mishandled and never past on the guys. Things that were supposed to happen didn't. It was so frustrating for Andrew and me. It definitely put a real sour note on him leaving. What I think was the most frustrating was that it took me off guard and made goodbye difficult even though I know he'll be back in a few weeks and that he's safe. Now that he's gone I'm doing fine. It was just all the pent up frustrations with the MC came out when saying goodbye to him.

Now that he's away I've been hanging out with friends and just having a good time. We've been hanging out enjoying some wine and knitting mostly. Tomorrow I'm having a Slumber Party at the house. I'm excited for it. I had one for my 21st birthday and it was a blast. Then on Wednesday I'm headed home to visit for a week or so. I can't wait to spend time with my family and see my friends from back home. I miss everyone so much.

Ten on Tuesday

1. My birthday is tomorrow I turn 24. I'm not exactly sure when I got this old (not that 24 is OLD).
2. I have some great friends here in J'ville. I get to hang out with some great girls today and there's gonna be a big get together for lunch tomorrow.
3. I love our puppies, but yesterday I wanted to kill them. They were so nice as to run away. I got them both back, but they're making me crazy.
4. The cats have lost their minds also. They are running around like I lit their tails on fire. I think it's all the cool weather and fresh air.
5. The weather has been beautiful here the past few days. I've been able to have the windows open and a/c off. It's so nice.
6. Andrew's training got pushed back, so he doesn't have to leave on my birthday any more!!! I'm so excited about this. We're gonna try to go out to dinner if he gets off of work early enough.
7. I'm gonna go home while Andrew is at training, I'm so excited to get to see my friends and family back home.
8.We got our photos done on the beach with the puppies the other day. Our photographer Heartlove Photography is amazing and we love our pictures. We're just waiting on the prints we ordered to come in.
9.Andrew and I are getting excited for fall. We're going to try and hit up a couple of festivals before he leaves for training. I'm hoping that they're as fun as the ones we went to in Syracuse.
10.I have to admit that I actually miss this time of year in Syracuse. I miss the apple cider and the wineries. I don't miss the winter though.
