I FEEL LIKE A KID WITH A NEW TOY!!

HEHEHEHE......I feel like a kid. I really do. But now where do I start? We left Vilseck in 2003 and came to wonderful Fort Bragg. I remember when we got orders here I was ready to CRY!!! in the Ugly Cry sense. I had heard nothing but watch out for Fayettenam and it's the old Army there so watch your back. I was also nervous because Donte was switching from being a life long Tanker to Signal. Well we actually built a house in Sanford, about 20 minutes from Bragg and we LOVE it. Yes Bragg has it's bad points but it has its good points too. I actually have worked on Bragg since Dec of 2003. At first I thought that the 20 minute commute would kill me but it's really not that bad. I guess I was so spoiled in Vilseck I mean come on From where I lived to the CDC and then to ACS was probably less than 3 miles. I MISS THAT! I have a group of gals here to that were my life line for a lot of the deployment and we try to get together once a month to go to dinner...usually Olive Garden....that salad and breadsticks has us all addicted. I wish I could get you all in one place. I have told the girls here about the Bayrish Irish (Thank you Gabi and Boyd for taking me there on one of my last nights in Germany, I will never forget it.) Like I said I am horrible at keeping in touch but I remember everything :)

The boys are growing up fast...too fast. Donte (formerly known as Donnie until he informed us that his name was Donte) is in the second grade and Dannie is in the first. They are both doing great in school and love sports. Donte (Big one) is actually coaching their Baseball team with Tom (a friend of ours that is military too) we set it up like this incase one of them deploys or has duty the kids are taken care of. Jennifer (Toms wife) and I are like two giddy girls watching the men take charge. Donte often asks me "do you wanna coach?" and I had to bust out laughing while we were all out yesterday when Tom said the same thing to Jennifer. But you know how us wives are we are the planners, organizers.....medics :)

Gabi please tell BOYD a big CONGRATS on his retirement. I wish that we could have been there and we think of you guys often.

Gotta run Desperate Housewives is coming on and I cant miss it.
