busy busy bee.

The past few months have been crazy.  Here's a brief summary of what's been going on:

DF and I were finally reunited after 4 long months.

The whole experience made us both so much more appreciative of the time we have together. Hopefully he's here to stay for a while! Sapper school is in the near future but thankfully that is only 3 weeks long. And then, hopefully, we'll both be headed to Georgia for his Officer school.
The last month has been great, as well as financially stressful. It was starting to feel like we were getting cut off at every corner. My hours got cut at work. The BAH back-pay DF was owed got denied. We've been waiting and waiting and WAITING for his sign-on bonus to come in, and of course they are waiting until 3 days before their deadline to give it to him (although he is lucky to even be getting one at this point with all the budget cuts!) Things will get better though. Soon he'll get that bonus, and thanks to his PROMOTION! and G.I. bonus that kick in on January 1st we'll be back on track.
Despite everything we decided to go ahead and get a Christmas tree. We're not going to be here on Christmas but it was kind of depressing not to have one for our first Christmas together.

She's a little "naked," but it warms our hearts every morning when we turn on the lights. We're going to have our own Christmas when we return from time with our families! Also, after we return, I'm going to FINALLY after a long long time get back to sewing in hopes of making an etsy store! That is my new year's resolution!

Anyway...CSI:NY and a freshly baked batch of "Nana Cookies" are calling my name :)
