I am taking a break from the blogsite. It appears that no one is interested in sending me any photos or stories of their families or lives and I'm sure you are all dreadfully sick and tired of hearing about and seeing pictures of my silly life and family, so I am going away for awhile.
If anyone does want to send me something, feel free, and I will post it. Until that happens, I'm giving it a rest.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
Take care.

DRINKS WITH LISA
Lisa was in town for a visit, so we met up last night for a fine glass of wine at Tyler and Downing in Anamosa. She couldn't stay long because she had an early morning and a long drive home today, but it was great to see her!!!!

ELECTION FRAUD
I'm not accusing or anything, but in our highly scientific, no-margin-of-error poll, I think Brett voted 12 times and my husband voted twice....
Seriously, though, no matter who you support, just be sure to get out and vote! (Dan and I might as well stay home because our votes are just going to cancel each other out anyway. I think I'll call his boss and ask if Dan can work late that day....just until, say, 9:00 p.m., or so?? hehe.)

ANOTHER GIRLS' NIGHT
Darcie, Mary Jo, and I had another girls' night last night. This time it was Mary Jo's turn to decide on the restaurant and God bless her for choosing Carlos O'Kelly's!!
I have no new pictures to share because both gals threatened me with bodily harm if I brought my "bleeping" camera. So, just to get even with them, I will post the same pic from our last girls' night out. Bahahahaha!

MIKE IS COMING HOME!!
Dear family and friends,
I'm sending this quick note to let you all know that in less than 24 hours I will begin my journey back to Colorado Springs! I was selected a few weeks ago by the next 4ID Deputy, Commanding General to work the personnel transition in support of the 4ID Headquarters and 1-4BCT movement from Fort Hood, Texas, to Fort Carson, Colorado, this coming spring. By being selected, it has shortened my deployment from 15 to 11 months. While this is outstanding news, it is bitter sweet because I was really starting to get comfortable after spending the past 11 months building a team and learning my job. I really appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and boxes full of goodies during the past year; it all helped get me through both the good and bad times.
While I know that the US is about to make some important decisions over the next month, I can assure you first-hand, that we are making progress in Iraq, and if God wills it, the Iraqi people will be able to provide their own security and maintain a stable government in the upcoming year. The support that we receive from not only folks back home, but also from across the entire world is phenomenal! We are the best equipped, trained, and prepared military in the world because of this support.
Thanks again for everything that you did to make this deployment not only comfortable, but also for the love and care that you showed our family during the past year as well. Rhonda, Liz, & Susie have worked very hard while I've been gone and I can't wait to get back and see them in the next couple weeks!
Cheers,
Mike

SWINGING WITH MOMMA
We had some family over to our home this past Monday and I went swinging with my 83-year-old mother-in-law!!! She almost kicked my butt.
Last night, we had a gathering with the whole family at Dan's brother's house. Here's a pic of Dan and his six siblings, plus Momma.
