Ok, starting with the latest news. Steven and I just found out that he will be deploying for Iraq in April. He will be serving a 6 month tour. For those of you that are thinking; "poor Jennie =(" DON'T! Steven volunteered for the deployment and I am very proud that he is going. I am little scared but for the most part happy that he is able to serve his country in this way. We love being part of the US Army and it has blessed us in so many ways. I have no doubt that I will be well taken care of while he is gone. I have been very blessed to have many friends and family who take such good care of me. My neighborhood is about 90% military and 1/2 are deployed to either Afangistan or Iraq right now and most for 12 month deployments. I have a lot to be grateful for (6 months!!). Also these women have come to be my family. It is very unique for me to be united and excepted so quickly by so many different people. I know that I will always treasure this experience in days to come.
Ok, since I have been such a slacker lately I thought I would give you an update. Since my last blog a lot has happened, i.e. Holloween and Thanksgiving. Holloween was great, I dressed up as Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz and my boys were Power Rangers. Steven was gone to California for most of the month of October at NTC playing Army out in the sand pit. 
November we had some of our dearest friends, Brandon and Marion Kofford drive up from San Antonio to spend Thanksgiving with us. It was a blast, those guys are a ton of fun. I made the dinner and it turned out pretty good I must say.
