Hello Everyone!
It was awesome having Brian home this weekend. Our weekend was packed full of fun and work. Saturday started off with an 8:00 am soccer game. Then we swung by Target to pick up supplies for Brian. Then we went to the Pumpkin Street Faire. Had lunch at the local Greek burger place for lunch, where I talked Brian out of eating the Athens Burger. Every time he eats that burger he smells like garlic for days! It radiates off of him!
Our local neighborhood park was hosting the Law Enforcement Car Show. We had planned on walking over and taking a peek, but after driving by we decided to just stay home. It turned out we didn't miss anything, because the parade route was right in front of our house. ALL the sirens going at once... Oh and it was nap time! The rest of the weekend was spent working on stuff. We did go to church on Sunday, but then it was back to work. By the time Brian left Sunday evening, his homework/studying was completed, his laundry was done, I was arrested both in English and Spanish, and his hair was freshly cut.
Monday for me was fun! Dropped the girls off at school on time, early even! Yay me! Returned home, got a good work out in. Then put on Dan Zanes concert for M and got to work on my Bible study. Still learning so much! I got to show off a little to Brian this weekend. Normally, Brian is the know-it-all when it comes to Theology/Bible study, so for me to actually know something that he doesn't know is AMAZING!
After finishing the study M and I loaded up and drove to the mall to meet our friends. We had lunch, got to visit, did some shopping. Overall, we both had a blast! Plus I bought soap, a Christmas present, and two neck ties for A and H. On Fridays they can wear ties with their uniforms. A's tie is neon pink, and H's tie is neon green. I wanted to get them bow ties...bow ties are cool...but I could only find one.
After the mall trip it was home to get grab all the soccer stuff then off to get the girls. I had a parent teacher conference with H's teacher. H is doing very well, the teacher sang her praises! (Pat pat on the back.)Then it was straight to soccer practice. That was it, that was my day.
Brian got to drive again today. He said it was a blast. Like racing go-carts, only with a full size car. He started off as a passenger and said that is was an experience. Actually he said "holy crap it was crazy". He said once he started to drive it didn't feel as crazy...just awesome.
He also had his first uniform fitting today. So that was pretty exciting. He also put on his new fancy holster on to his belt today, along with a few other things. Still no gun, but he is scheduled for range tomorrow. He started learning how to talk on a radio. He said it is similar to using a radio in the helicopter. So I guess being a helicopter pilot is paying off. Interesting note: Brian said that all the cadets that have a pilots license (at least from his squad) have passed their driving test on the first try. It might be a coincidence, but still interesting.
Tomorrow M and I are going to the pumpkin patch with the other women at MOPs. She is so excited! Then I have a parent teacher conference with A's teacher. I also need to remember to stop by the pet store and buy a giant bag of "your dog is super old" dog food. The day should be fun!
Blessings,
