Just a little update!

Well Everyone it has been a month or so, so I needed to get you all informed. I have been blessed to be able to talk to Kevin just about every day. He is doing good and is just taking each moment in stride. You all know that Kevin is optomistic, so he gets by with a smile and that is what I hear in his voice. I figured that I would share with everyone some pics of our baby girl Ellie. She is currently at a dog trainer right now, and is being trained to hunt birds. So when Kevin comes home she should be good to go! The gentleman training her is named Gary andhe has been doing this for about 10 years now. He says she is doing very well and just has so much energy. Well I hope you all enjoy the pics and talk to you soon! Love you and be safe!

Here is Ellie running in the field by the Dog Trainer's house.
Here she is staring at the goats in the pasture.

This is her Whoa stance that Gary, the trainer, has taught her.
It is a pigeon that is in front of her.

This is Gary and he has done wonders for Ellie. She is still a bit timid but she si coming around slowly and surely. I know Kevin is so proud of her and I am so glad that we were fortunate enough to be able to get her this training. It is well worth it.

Finally a little word!

Ok, so I am not the best at keeping everyone up to date with our lives, but I do my best. Well for those of you that do not know. Kevin is deployed for 45+ days and it is in a remote location that I cannot say but it is in a safe environment for the most part. He left on 13 Feb and is expected to be back aroung 10 Apr. The sucky part is that I leave for my deployment on 5 Apr so we bypass each other. I don't get back until 9 Jun. This will be the longest we have been apart in a long time. Just when we thought we were getting the hang of being together! LOL! ; ) Well that is military life for you.
I have been keeping busy by going to the gym and going to chuch on the Sunday and just being around good friends. So, need not worry about me I will be fine......it's Ellie I am worried about. Our poor puppy lost her best friend for a little while and I really think she is depressed! I play with her but of course it is not how Kevin plays with her.
lMy family back home in Jersey have been checking up on me to. My sister, Jena, who is 18 will be graduating High School this year and I am so excited and scared for her. My mom just reminded me the other day that she isn't a baby anymore. I still think of her that way. It's just funny I guess. My mom is doing really well, for those that you don't know, she has Mutiple Scirosis (I think I spelled that wrong but you get the point). She's had it for the last 10 yrs or so but she tells me she is doing good and doesn't have to go back to the docs for like a year which is awesome.
Well I can keep on rambling but then I won't have anything else to say for next time. Hope everyone is doing good and wishing everyone the best. Talk to you all soon! Love ya!

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

I know it has been a very long time since I have given updates, so I figured better late than none now, right? LOL! Anywho, as you all know Kevin and I recently had a new edition to the family. Her name is Ellie and she is a beautiful Hungarian Pointer, Vizsla is the breed. She is such a handful! Kevin has the patience and I do on some occasions. She is about 19 weeks old now and still growing! She is high-strung and full of energy. Sounds like Kevin when we first met! Just kidding! They are totally cute together and are always cuddling up on the couch together. We tried to break the sitting on the couch habit but no bueno! If you have any suggestions let me know, I am always up for some assistance!

We just recently went to 3 wonderful Christmas Parties this season. They were tons of fun. A lot of door prizes and good food. It is good to be around good company during the holidays since family is so far away for us. We aren't setting up a tree this year, so it really doesn't seem like Christmas. The reason behind this is because of the Ellie and trying ot chew on the lights or the ornaments, so we opt'd not to.

I just got back from a one day trip to Hawaii on Friday, and since it was warm over there and cold over here, I think I brought a little cold back. Possibly passed it on to Kevin too. Sorry, Honey! But overall, we are doing good. Taking day by day as it comes at us and just trying to just live life. Kevin and I are both going to school now so we can get our educations. I just got done with an English class, and after the New Year we will both be attending a Statistics class together. I am pretty stoked. Kevin is definitely better at the stats than I am!

Well I hope you all are staying warm and cozy inside! May you all have a glorious Christmas and a very bright New Year's. I am sure I will talk to some of you soon. Love and miss you all always and I will try to do a better job of keeping the updates coming. Take care and GOD BLESS!

Playing Catch-up!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I haven't talked in a while but it has been a little crazy lately. Work has gotten Kevin and I both on edge. I am sure you all know what I mean. So we finally got some new furniture and it looks and feels great! So I think the next step is to fix up the upstairs. Just don't know when we will have the time to start. The weather is starting to cool down over here and it is kinda nice now. We went Uncle Ray's surprise 75th Birthday Party a few weeks ago and it was great! He was so shocked to see all of his kids and grandbabies under one roof. Well hope all is well in your worlds and hope to hear from you guys soon. Love ya all and I will try to write later! Chao!
