Kiss a Soldier

Happy Veteran's Day! Go kiss (or hug) a soldier! Or at least give them a high five. I'm always proud of my hubby, but especially on days when vets are recognized. We certainly know how hard they work and how much they have sacrificed. Michael's my fav vet! He's the best husband, dad, friend and solider i know :) Good job Nulkie! Also thanks to my two beastly bro-in-laws. Both have or are serving. The Nulk bros are basically team America, so keep it up guys (neither will probably read this)! That's okay though. Keep supporting the troops...home of the free because of the brave.

In other exciting news, my mom sent us a delightful box of Dakin Farm goodies. GLORIOUS! Usually ever summer we make the hour trip from the cabin over to VT and eat ourselves into oblivion (the have free samples) and spend a small fortune on maple-smoked spiral ham, maple bbq ribs and smoked cheddar cheese. They like to smoke stuff there. Or mix it with maple syrup. Both are excellent ideas. The package that arrived was filled with smoked meats and cheeses, buttermilk pancake mix, REAL maple syrup (not to be mistaken with the poor excuse for it at the commissary), jams and spreads. We couldn't wait for b-fast the next day so Michael made pancakes and bacon for dinner. It was DELISH. If you haven't been to dakin farms in vermont, shame on you. Your taste buds are missin' out. Then we headed out to the CG (commanding general) Mixer where bringing your spouse was "optional". Yeah out of the hundreds of captains and lts roaming around, there were about a dozen wives. oh well, it was free childcare, so yay! It lasted about an hour, then we came back and had a fire and s'mores. Good stuff.

Tuesday Gabe & I went to story time at the library. The theme was "royalty" so the craft was making a crown. It was really cute, were excited for next week, which is "thanksgiving". I hope they give out free turkey.

I FINALLY got the boots i'd been waiting 6 mths for! I love'm and wear them alll the time. They're comfy, cute, and match almost anything i wear. I'm ready to do some two-steppin'!

we tried throwing Gabe in a pile of leaves. Didn't go over very well. Gabe acted like we threw him in a pile of snakes. He lightened up when Michael jumped in with Gabe.





riding your truck backwards is what all the cool kids are doing these days...right?

Anyhow, that's all that's new with us. We've been busy socializing and loving life. Michael has a 4-day so were hoping just to relax. He already got 18 holes and a nap in. Poor thing is dreading his 5 page (so horrible) info paper on the battle of saratoga. And He won't let me write it for him. lame. But i get to edit it! Hope you're all having a good november!
