Fabulous Army Life

Somehow the stars, moons, and planets aligned for us to a) live in Washington DC, b) know someone who works in the White House, and c) have the opportunity to take a tour of the West Wing of the White House.  The boys and I spent a beautiful afternoon touring the West Wing with our dear friend Rich Morales.  It was a day for the memory book for sure!

Dinner with the Taylors is always fun, relaxing, and entertaining.  Tonight was a night of making kabobs, eating deliciously homemade food, playing basketball, running in the backyard, swinging, talking, laughing, planning, and toasting to the future.

Hi, Stan! I so wish we could be there to see you right now but we are sending all of our love and hugs to you from bustling DC. We miss our time at Fort Hood so very much and have such amazing memories of our time there, especially with the Red Dragons. You were such an important part of that and you are now forever etched in our hearts. There are people who move into and out of your lives but leave a lasting impression behind. You are one of those people to me. When Nate introduced you as the POC for our battalion ball, I felt both sympathy and excitement for you. I knew that you would be bugged a million times each day from that day on with my endless questions … but was so excited to have such a kind, patient, and detail-oriented Soldier on my side! You made the entire planning process a breeze … easy, fun, and greatly productive. Every last detail was perfect and the Soldiers and Families of 3-82 FA enjoyed a beautiful reunion ball that they will always remember. Yo...

Christmas morning was full of fun, discovering stockings and Santa gifts and spending the day together.  Trey was eager to try out his new arrows for his bow, Joshua was quick to spend a little more time on his new tablet, and we had a great day relaxing together.
