So yesterday I got my wisdom teeth removed. After they numbed my mouth they had Justin come in to talk with me because I was really nervous. Well since I could barely talk he decided to video it. It felt so weird! My mouth felt swollen but it wasn't, so I'm covering my mouth and I'm really embarrassed!! Of course Justin thought it was hilarious! I'm doing okay today, the pain medicine they gave me is really strong so I'm not feeling much, it just makes me tired and dizzy so I'm dealing with that. Justin will be here this afternoon to help me with Tommy, but no complaints here! I'm not going to take it tomorrow, I want to be able to drive and not be so sleepy all day. By then it shouldn't be so painful.

Got caught being late... not good
This past tuesday I was expected to move into Brittney's apartment. That was until my squad leader found out that i was FTR to Sunday's recall formation... and bed-check the same day. Now the recall formation was not my fault seeing that I am new to Alabama and I am not familiar with Traffic laws. They would not net me in the front gate because my tags were expired and the registration could not be proven in official paperwork, but they were however able to check the registration and found it current. So instead of letting me go they gave me a ticket and held me 15 minutes longer and made me 15 minutes late.
Now latter that day I was also late for bed check and well that was all my fault because I fell asleep and didn't make it back to the barracks in time. So as punishment for the FTR's I was to lose all my privileges for 2 weeks and I would not be able to go off post and spend time with my family. I later got 2 counseling statements that instructed me on my corrective training, to my surprise all I was to do was to write a 5 page essay on the importance of being on time. Now some of you probably think that it's not that bad but how many of you have really thought about how much 5 pages is and thats only so much you can say on the subject. This was also going to be read by my squad leader, who is an english fanatic. he really gets joy from making people suffer. Brittney and I spent 1 hour writing the essay then later that night I had to rewrite it in my own handwriting and that took me like 2 1/2 hours. But I got it done and he was very pleased with it. now tomorrow Brittney and I might be living together finally. I will also be graduating on July 10th. but my instructor has put us 17 days behind schedule. now I have to stay an extra hour after school to get caught up. It really sucks but thats the way things are. I hope that this week will be better and that there isn't any trouble getting off post to be with the family.

Germany!


Justin and I just recently found out that we are being sent to Germany as soon as Justin graduates from AIT training in July! We will arrive in Stuttgart Germany August 2nd! We are really excited and thankful that he was sent to a place where he can bring his family. We were hoping that this is where they would send him. So we've been looking up pictures and information on the city and have found a lot of things we're looking forward to seeing, lots of festivals! Summer festival, Christmas festival, we hope to go to all of them. It is a beautiful place and we're nervous and excited about living in another country. We definitely didn't ever think that we would be living in Germany! I don't think it will become a reality until we get there. He will be stationed there for about 2-3 years.
Tommy is doing well, he is all over the place! I can't seem to keep up with him! He's pulling my hair and getting into everything...all that fun stuff toddlers do! He looks more and more like Justin everyday, it is so cute. We are hoping for a girl next time, but won't be trying for another for awhile. Right now we are just enjoying Tommy.
We will be coming to visit the family before we go to Germany, we're not sure how much time we'll have but it won't be more than a couple days. But we will visit as often as we can, we miss everyone so much.

Tommy's Toes!
We video taped Tommy's toes at the park, he was wiggling them and we just couldn't resist! Enjoy it!
Fun In The Sun
So Just this past Sunday brittney and I went to the park With Tommy. We Have been in Huntsville, Al for about a month now and we haven't really gotten out. So we thought I would be a good idea to get out in the sun and play at the park and feed the ducks.
When we go there the sun was at its highest and the breeze was blnowing gently, the water looked good (for a large pond by a college campus). We must have been out therefor like an hour and a half, just wanking around and enjoying ourselves. Well we forgot to get the bread for the ducks, but even if we did there would not have been enough to feed them. the ducks were like 20 pound ducks! They were HUGE!! so instead we just too pictures of them and we got relly close. Brittney was scared of the really big one that had a body bigger then hers and a gut or something that almost dragged on the ground.
Afterwards we went to this outdoor strip mall that was so fricken nice. They had all the best shops and buildings were all new. They had a movie theater that they call the Monaco theater. There was also pattle boats and a gondalla rides you could go on. so we shopped for a while and decided to go back home and call it a day.
Now today Monday our son tommy has a mile sun burn and looks really cute with som color in his skin. he's not uncomfrtable at all which is a realief but next time we wont forget the sun screen. This was on of the best weekends we have ever had. just spending time together is amazing. I am in the Millitary and I don't get to spend as much time with my family as I would like. I hope that there are more days like that one that we are able to have. If theres on thing that hard to do in a small town, it's haveing a whole day pland out and spending under $30 to do it.
