Good Evening, All!! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We are currently under a Tornado Warning and the satellite went out so I figured I would do the slide show for the month and update a post since I was really busy last week and forgot. Well only 24 days 'til Josh is home for R n R!! YEAH!!! The date moved a few days. He doesn't fly out of Kuwait 'til the 17th. So will put him in Kansas City on the 20th. I pick him up at the airport and we on our way to Nashville and Memphis Tennessee. I am so ready for a break from reality for awhile. A break from work, bills,housework, homework,being mom and dad and all the STRESS!!! It maybe only a few days of a break but better than nothing. Josh is doing good. Getting home sick and bored, but he is hangin' in there. The boys and I are doing good. They only have 18 days of school left for the year. I am pulling them out of school 10 days early due to Josh coming home for R n R. So they are excited about that. Hard to believe the school year is almost over. Dillon will be going into 7th grade, Drew 6th grade and Hunter 4th grade. They sure are growing up fast. Before we know it They will be in college.  Well I had better get off here and get the computer off. Wind is picking up and lightening pretty bad. Don't need to ruin my new computer.  Well hope everyone has a great week. 'Til next week take care and Pray for all our Troops!!! Kristy

Good evening All! Hope everyone had a good Easter. The boys and I had a pretty crappy one. The boys and I all got strep throat and bronchitis so we had to stay home here in Fort Riley. I just didn't want to take the chance of getting others sick.  So we went bowling instead. We had lots of fun. Only 32 days 'til Josh is home for R n R. Yes, I am still counting down. I am getting really excited to see him. Hard to believe it has been 7 months already. Only 5 more months to go then he will be home for good then we be off to Fort Carson, Colorado in February. The only bad thing about that is the Brigade he is getting put with leaves for Afghanistan in Dec. so that means Josh will have to go over there too. But we are keeping our fingers crossed that he will go to BNOC(schooling for his E6) in Alabama instead.I'm not ready for another deployment right on top of one another but I guess that is part of being an Army Wife and living in the Army world. Josh is doing okay. He is actually sick with the flu or something. He had to go to the Medic today and get some medicine and has quarters for a couple of days to get rested up and feeling better. Its kind of funny how we all are sick at the same time and he is on the other side of the world. Well nothing else to report. Not quite sure when we will make it back that way. So I hope everyone is doing good. Please keep praying for our Troops and pray that they all get to come home soon and we put an end to this war. God Bless you all. Kristy
