Checking In

I knew when I started this that is was going to be something hard for me to keep up on. Although, once Brent leaves I'm sure it'll be easier since I'll have to keep him up to date.

We went to the Batallion Ball last Saturday. It's nice to get all dressed up sometimes, and of course, I had the most handsome date there! The empty table sure brought a lump to my throat though. It makes me appreciate every moment that I get to spend with all of my loved ones, not just Brent. You never know when something is going to happen to any one of us. Heck, his hour and a half commute daily is probably more dangerous. Well, maybe not quite, but it makes me feel better to think that.

Tonight, Saturday, (third shift always has my days screwed up) is the Daddy/Daughter Ball in Bushnell. Ashtyn, Brent, and I had a great time picking out a dress and accessories for Ashtyn last Sunday. Yes, I made Brent go shopping on Super Bowl Sunday, but it was early and I think, whether he wants to admit it or not, he had a good time. Any day with a fresh cinnamon pretzel and cookies for lunch is a good day by me.

I also found a dress to wear for the wedding. Nothing fancy, but I guess everyone deserves to feel like a million bucks on their wedding day, even if it is at the courthouse. As I've said before, it's not the wedding that matters, but what you do with all the time afterwards that counts. And I'm looking forward to every second of it!!!
