Summer Update...

[JLC]

Yay! Congrats on the house! Its awesome, and brand new too! Can't wait till your back and settled down!!

Thanks, Justin! I'll certainly be glad when this summer draws to a close and things settle into some sort of sane routine again!

That ROCKS Judy!!!! Like I said, I'm gonna miss you in TX but I guess I'll haft to share ya with some other BPNetters! LOL

Best of luck with the move!

Awww Laura! I don't wanna live in a state that you don't live in. You'll just have to move to Florida! (Or at least make it to Daytona..... ~hint hint~ )

Congrats Commander's-Wife-To-Be Judy! A-ten HUT!

It must have been cool to attended those classes with your hubby...and I WANT THOSE COUNTERTOPS! *Droooool*

Hehehe....thanks! Us little ol' wives don't usually get saluted...but it IS cool to walk around the base with hubby in uniform and watch HIM get saluted all the time. And I luuuub my new countertops! And all new appliances! I've never....ever....had a brand new dishwasher before! LOL

Oh Judy it looks gorgeous! I bet Petra is excited about her own bathroom. I know at her age I'd have killed to have my own bathroom (sharing a bathroom with your nasty brothers is just...ick! LOL)

I cannot imagine how crazy busy this summer will be for you hon, but I know you have the fortitude to get through it with flying colors. Congrats to Dean on the promotion and to you on becoming a C.O.W. You know we'll want pictures from the ceremony when he assumes his command.

Ohhh yes....little boys (and not-so-little boys!) make for some naaasty bathrooms! Even though it's in her room...I may have to make Petra's bathroom the official "guest bath".

I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures....although just the thought of it makes me shudder. I hate being on the wrong end of a camera lens! LOL Guess I better get used to it.

We DO notice when you're gone and we miss you every day!

Congratulations! I'ts so awesome when good things happen to good people

I'm intrigued about this school for wives....does it have to do with keeping government secrets or is it more about tea parties>?

Awwwwww! You're too sweet!!

And the school....'twas neither about keeping secrets nor about tea parties. It was lots of briefings by "official" personel in various areas of military life....legal issues...family support services....protocol (about the closest we came to "tea party lessons" LOL)....military medicine....child education....death & mortuary affairs....deployment procedures....etc. And lots of talk with more experienced commander's wives about how they handle the role as well as support their husbands in their very demanding positions and somehow manage to balance out family life and careers of their own.

That house is gorgeous, and all the best Judy.

Thanks, Heather!

Congrats on the house it is beautiful

Thank you! I can hardly wait to start decorating it! Never had a brand new house before!
