Tomorrow we are leaving Alabama. It was a long 5 weeks for David who did a lot of studying and working out for the military course, but for me it was very close to absolute bliss. Sure we stayed in a one room hotel room with a dinky bathroom, lived out of suitcases & had no a/c for half of the trip. BUT I got maid service each day so I really was only responsible for caring for Kate, tidying the room and doing laundry. There is an incredible Playground (Kate’s new word is Play Park) right outside our door that I will miss greatly, several wonderful Mommy’s and Daddy’s who hung out at the Play Park and visited while our children played, and because of the dinky kitchen we ate out more than ever, which was great for my pallet and aversion to cleaning the kitchen…not so great for my waistline. 
All in all for me this was an incredible experience. I LOVED this opportunity to live in the states among all the great convieneces of home. I LOVED meeting so many new friends not only me, but for Kate as well. Alabama is WONDERFUL! I’ll miss it greatly!
Here are some of the latest pictures I took of Kate enjoying Alabama.
Goodbye Alabama!

I promised you more sunglasses photos of Kate and here they are. I’m currently experimenting with new ways to display my photos on my blog and this story board is my latest idea…still needs more work, but it’s good for now.
In other news…I really like Runts, you know the Willy Wonka candy BUT the bright colors really turn me off, I just hate filling my body with un-necessary colorants! Sooo…I decided to soak the candies in some water, which pulled the color right off! They are now all white and JUST as tasty. David thinks I’m rediculous, but it just makes me feel better somehow!

We recently picked up some crazy cool sunglasses for Kate. I assumed she’d get sick of them quickly and not want to keep them on, but surprisingly she’s ALLLL about the cool factor and wears them proudly. I took a ton of photographs, this is just the first one I got around to editing…more to come soon.

4 years ago today David and I were enjoying our first day as a married couple. We had the wedding the day prior, we’d sent the out of town family on their way and I remember us just sitting in the middle of the livingroom, among a mountain of wedding gifts just looking at each other like…”Wow, yesterday was a BIG DAY! And gosh I love you!” I don’t really remember all that much from the wedding day, I remember fixing my hair and doing my makeup, I remember walking down the aisle with my sweet Daddy, I remember straightening David’s tie during the ceremony and the audiance chuckling at me as I did it, I faintly remember the reception…and honestly that’s about it. I don’t remember the vows, I don’t remember the kiss, I don’t remember our first dance, even though I’d thought ALLL those detals over like crazy before hand!! I just remember being stressed out and wondering if with all my endless planning, maybe I’d overlooked something. Sigh. I hate that. I hate that my own wedding is pretty much a blur. I’m SOOOO thankful for a DVD of the ceremony and endless photos to help jog my memory. On the other hand I’m glad though. I’m glad that what I remember most about us getting married, was the day after, the Sunday late afternoon with us snuggled up on the floor together leasurly opening our gifts, eating the left over yummy wedding cake and just enjoying the moment that we’d been waiting for what felt like forever for… to finally be husband and wife, I just remember feeling so perfectly blissful to finally be his. LOVED it! So all this to say…when Kate is engaged, we’re hiring her a wedding coordinator! LOL! I want her to remember more of her big day and focus on her groom and how awesome he’ll be!
In closing, Love you David. Loved all 4 years and one day of being your bride. Love you, love you, love you.
