Baili- Gage looks so big and handsome!
To everyone- I'm sure that you all have heard by now but Rick was promoted to Sergeant recently (finally) and is doing well with his new position and rank. but he's ready to come home..we still have 9 months to go but things are moving along well enough.
This deployment has been "easier" than the last considering we get to talk a lot more. All is well here...The cats and I are happy as can be.
I just got back from camping high in the mountains for a weekend (up near Hartzel- the reported heart of Colorado.) We took a day trip into South Park (ya it's a real place) becuase someone didn't bring enough "mountain money" a.k.a- toilet paper. It's a pretty little town though and it was really cold at night!!!!
(I think I had just finished digging the fire pits behind me and someone snapped a pic)The sun came out and we got out our archery stuff (I have a bow, arrows and a target) and I taught everyone how to shoot. Some did better than others but we had a great time. We even got snowed on. :P
We tired ourselves out gathering firewood and chopping it and ended up with a pile of wood as tall as me. We had good food and day executions to the surrounding hill tops and creeks. It was a good time..we just have to remember to go a little later next year. Hope all is well with everyone.
