5th Year Anniversary!

August 30th 2003
AUGUST 30th 20085 years down and an eternity to go! 5 years is definitely not long enough to be married to the best man in the world! Dustin is truly an amazing, righteous, loyal, funny, hard working, responsible, driven, strong, loving, serving, thoughtful, balanced, protecting, providing, husband, best friend and father. He has molded to become the most wonderful man in my life. I feel so honored and blessed to be sharing our lives together here on earth and beyond. Life only gets better from here and everyday knowing I am married to the greatest man in the world!!! Today was a really romantic and thoughtful day.

Family Reunion

Jet Lagged

We have been home for a week now and the girls and I are still jet lagged. I have never experienced it this bad before. Going towards the sun was easy but coming against the sun and time is like going against nature. It hurts! The crazy thing is that I am just always tired. That is one reason why I have not posted any pictures of our trip yet. I have not had the energy or time and I am still am not unpacked. So, That is what I am focused on doing right after this post is getting my house clean and organized. I always feel invigorated after doing such a project.

Real deployment!

Okay, So we went to the States and had an Awesome time with family and friends . Dustin and I decided the closer to them the better. We really want the girls to grow up near family who love them. So any State closer to them would be fantastic but ideally Hill Airforce base in Utah. (I hope)

We have 2 1/2 more years here in Germany and will do our best to enjoy every minute of it by traveling and learning more about the people and the culture and the great ward that we are in.

So listen to this! We have 5 hours until we have to get on the plane heading back to Germany when Dustin called his shoppe at work to find out that he is getting deployed after all. I got very teary eyed thinking that I had only 5 hours to say good bye to the man I love! But much to our surprise he is actually going on a different deployment than all the other troops in his shoppe.
This deployment he will be going to Baghdad instead and he leaves in November instead of next month. So I was relieved for the fact that I was able to have a little more time with him. He will be leaving for 7 months. So Back to the States , Here I come.

My sister can hook me up through Delta to help fly me back to the good ol' USA. Time there with family support will help time go by extremely fast for those 7 months. I will miss my Dusty very much!

Deployment

Dustin was suppose to be deploying in August to Kurgystan for 6 months but last Friday they told him that he has been taken off the list because they had too many guys going and needed to bump someone off. They chose Dustin to stay. There is still a chance that he may still have to go between now and December.

Until then, Tomorrow we are off to America! We are looking forward to being with family and enjoying the conveniences and familiarity in the States. Can't WAIT! God bless the USA!

Baseball Game

Dustin is a huge Sports and baseball fan. Since we have been married he has toned it down alot, but to keep his morale up he volunteers his time as the head coach for his LRS Squadron team.

Maleha and Kasiah always look forward to his games so that they can play outside and make new friends but they really are just his best cheerleaders!

Kasiah Loves making friends with the dogs!

And with boys too!(She just ran up to this little boy and gave him a BIG hug) I got my hands full with this 2 girls. They are boy crazy!

New Neighbors

With a New house you get new neighbors and we have got the best neighbors yet! Maleha likes to visit them often and this morning she couldn't wait and almost ran outside naked. I told her to put some clothes on and so she grabbed her pink velvet leotard and red ruby shoes and ran to visit her little lambs. She is so funny!



The lambs had all their wool buzzed off. They look like an acrylic painting.

Kasiah rather be naked inside and be a peeping TOM.
