I had an awful cold for a week. Every day I had to remind myself it could be worse because I was exhausted and miserable. My worst fear of Paul being gone was getting sick and yet I survived. I give so much credit to single moms and I appreciate Paul so much more. Life will be so much easier when he gets home.
Em and I went to Dallas to see my friend Katie, her hubs, and 2 kiddos. Katie and I have been friends since 7th grade! I was super nervous about such a long flight with Em, but she was a trooper and did well. I have realized that flying Jet Blue has ruined me for other airlines as I kept looking around for my tv and wondered why I wasn't getting any free snacks!
It averaged 108 degrees the entire time we were there and although Katie told me before hand that it was a dry heat I quickly realized that is something people from TX tell their friends so that they'll come visit. It was like being on the sun!
I also got a feather in my hair and rocked some cowboy boots. FYI cowboy boots=also hot. Not just hot as in we looked dang good, but hot as in causing my whole body to sweat. When Katie and I first went downstairs in our boots I believe David's response was "You guys aren't really going out like that, are you?" And if you are a Friends fan then you've seen the episode where Monice buys the expensive boots she can wear with everything and you can well imagine how our night went.
Em also went swimming for the first time and LOVED it! I also got to see my old BRLS friend Christine who I hadn't seen since I was 21 (um that is 13 years)! All in all we had a great time and I can't wait to see them again.

Being in TX we missed Hurricane Irene completely although we lucked out in our area.
Back from TX and in a mad rush to kept the house ready to be gone to FL for 3 months. Squeezed in a Stroller Strides class and woke up sore in places I didn't know it was possible to be sore in. College football season started and since Paul is gone I got to outfit Em in support of my team.

Today is my 2 year anniversary. I feel very lonely tonight and am missing Paul tons. I can't wait for him to get home. When Em and I got home from having lunch at our friend's I found beautiful flowers waiting for me. Even from Afghanistan Paul knows how to make me feel loved and special. How lucky am I!
And that's where we're at. This week we are wrapping up life here and packing and getting ready to head first for a family vacation on Cape Cod and then heading south till Paul gets home.
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. :)
