I read my blog today. Luckily it's still short enough I can do that fairly easily. There is one thing I need to update, and that is my husband is away for a total of fifteen months (not fourteen - but hey, whats one month eh?), and WILL miss my daughters third birthday! I'm debating on just sliding the date back a month since she is only turning three and is young enough she won't know the difference. Ethical? In some ways no, in many ways, YES!

I requested a Christmas Hamper from the military. I request one every year now I know they have this service, and it's been so wonderful this year with my husband being away. It makes me feel a wee more festive - and anything to make me feel festive is "a good thing". There are some wonderful toys for Sarah and a few very nice Safeway gift cards for me to do some holiday shopping.
