Kids!!!

My cousin Naomi is visiting from Utah with her 4 little ones, so yesterday my dad & I took all the muchkins with my little sister Kayla & our nephew Alex to Chuck E Cheese. They had a blast! I was happy to get my nephew for the weekend, who's now 22 1/2 months. I can't believe how much he is growing up! He is getting so talkative. He's starting to become a little parrot, repeating everything you say! I had so much fun with that when my little sister was at that age! Fortunately for Alex's mom, that was 10 years ago and I've matured a bit since then! (maybe)
Trying to countdown for Sgt Wally's return, but not really sure when his definite return date is! I'm going with June 13th, which gives us a little over 6 weeks left. These last several weeks are feeling like an ETERNITY! I am so ready for this deployment to be over and never have to count my days with my husband again. I've had more than my fill of tearful goodbyes.

She's Baaaaack!

Yes, I am back and jet lagged like crazy! It's 2am and I am wide awake...maybe because I slept til 12:45 this afternoon! I would have slept even later, but my dad called and woke me up to see if I'd had lunch. Hah. Anyhoo, I have a little Japan slideshow on my MySpace page so check it out! :)

I'm Leeeeeeavin on a Jet Plane...

I'll be MIA for the next two weeks, I'll be on a plane heading to Japan in three hours! A loooooong batch of flights that won't have me getting to my destination until 8pm Sunday (6am Sunday EST). So as you lounge around and relax this Saturday, watch some TV, go to the mall...think of me sitting in an airplane seat ALL DAY. I know, I know...poor Jenn is going to Japan. Hah hah. See you in 14 days!

OH MY!!! THE GATORS ARE YOUR NCAA CHAMPIONS!

Who woulda thought? Oh, that's right....I THOUGHT! My Gators went all the way, baby! Wooooo Hoooooo!!!! First the Steelers win the Super Bowl, now my alma mater wins the NCAA tourney! 2006 is turning out to be a excellent year for sports. Now I need my Gator football team to round it out for me.

Nothing better on a hot Iraqi day than a good cigar...

My Sgt Wally, such a beautiful man :)

George WHO?

How Sweeeeeet it is!!! I told you George Mason's NCAA tourney run was coming to an end! Florida spanked those poor boys! I'm about as excited as Florida's head coach Billy Donovan is below! Joakim Noah didn't play his best game tonight, but Lee Humprey's 6 3-pt baskets made up for it! What an incredible game! NCAA championship, here we come!
