Our new house!!!

Well, the past month Curt and I have been looking into buying a new house when I got back. The Townhouse that we have right now is just not big enough for our growing family. We kept going back and forth on weather we wanted to wait until I got home to find a place or do I just trust his judgement and if he finds one that we both would love to just let him get it. Well, we've put offers on about 5 houses and finally last week one of the owners accepted our offer!!!! Curt should be closing on it within the next couple weeks and will hopefully be moved in by the time I get back to Utah so he can just take me to our new house!!! It's in Eagle Mountain, and it's perfect for us! I am super excited about it and once I get home and we get settled in we will have an Open House or something!

Coming Home

As the time is getting closer for me to go home I'm running out of time to everything in order! We have all these requests that we need to get taken care, of course ALL of them are the number one on the important scale. We are moving out of the B-Huts next week so I have to pack up all my stuff and inventory it, I have to pack up my office, I have to make sure my weapons clean so I can turn it in for a different one that I will be traveling with, and then I have my replacement here that I get to train while I'm doing all the other stuff! It seems like this past week the panic button got pushed. I'm not totally complaining because this is one of the necessary steps we have to deal with to get us home.
Besides getting us out of here Curt and I are looking at houses to buy, we are planning for a wedding, and I'm getting ready for job interviews to become a Warrant Officer.
Man, you gotta love the busy world we live in. In the end I will be gratefull for everything and how everything will end up working out! Only 30 more days till I'm back in the United States!!!

The holiday's

I finally had some free time to get on a computer and get on the blog. The holidays here in Afghanistan are not really holidays. Yes, we get cards and boxes and they feed us good, but not being with the family really sets the mood for the whole season. I was able to talk to everyone from my family on Christmas Day so that made it nice.
Curt took the kids to spend Christmas with his family up in the mountains. They all had a blast staying in a cabin, snowmobilling, and making cookies for Santa! Of course the kids were spoiled, I have a nasty shopping habit... but they are worth it.
Here are a couple pictures from Christmas and a Hot Cocoa Social we had here for Relief Society. The Hot Cocoa Social was actually pretty fun cause we were able to get away from work and just sit and spend time with each other and catch up!
