September Updates

Sorry I've been super busy the last few weeks and have been a total slacker in about every category imaginable. That includes returning phone calls, emails, letters, being a good friend/sister/daughter,etc. Fill in the blank. You get the idea.

After work each day we have spent the majority of our free time tying up all loose ends with the Army regarding our upcoming PCS and TDY (temporary move to the southeast then permanent move to HA). We have also added a new dog to the family and had a CG's Reception (Military Formal). I can't wait for you to meet Boaz. He is such a sweetheart (when he's not chewing my coffee table into a toothpick). Those of us who can't have babies have puppies. =)

Meet Boaz Tyson. This is a picture of him while he was at the kennel. We had to wait an entire week before we could adopt him.

This is a picture of him and Ruth greeting me at the door when I had gotten home from working at Starbucks one afternoon. They typically come to slobber me with kisses.


Here Boaz has taken the couch cover off and has wadded it up to lie on and hide in.

This is one of his favorite things to do...sleep on the cold hard wood floors.


Tuisamatatele and Dave all decked out in their Dress blues.

I worked for hours on the dress I wanted to wear sewing extra material to make the neck line less revealing. In the end it looked great, but 5 minutes after I was already late the zipper broke before I even put it on. I couldn't get the dress to zip up, so on to my back up dress which I haven't altered yet.

Because we were the last platoon in the receiving line, by the time we got through (where you meet the hosts of the reception and honored guests) the food was gone. We joined Ethan, Jen and Ellie-bellie at Lost Tres Amigos afterwards.
