The last two weeks!

I know I am slacking some so I apologize. The last two or so weeks have been a bit crazy. Last weekend, Cory and I spent much of our time at our church helping as we hosted a large youth conference. God did awesome things. Also last weekend, I had the opportunity to go to Missoula and play in a co-ed volleyball tournament. It was so much fun!!! I was so sore but had a so much fun and I had Cold Stone!! YUMMY!! While we were in Missoula though, a dear friend of ours father died in Great Falls. As a church family, we wanted to come and support them in anyway possible. For us, that mean organizing dinners up until the funeral. The funeral was on Thursday and a true way to celebrate the man's life.

A new receptionist also started at work this last week, meaning I have had little time to actually do my work because I am training her. She is fabulous, but still takes time away.

MAFB started the NSI/ORI inspection today which means Cory works 6:30-6:30 for the next two weeks! YUCK! Basically, this inspection is huge and if MAFB fails it, there will be a lot of ramifications and another inspection in 90 days. that also means no on goes home for Thanksgiving!!! Please pray for MAFB. Right now, other nuke bases have not done too stellar and we need to show that at least one nuke base is doing it right. Selfishly, I want Cory to come to Texas too for Thanksgiving!

Coming up is not much other than Halloween. No plans of yet and then Thanksgiving!! Can't wait.

Love ya!

Crazy Life!

I haven't had much time to come here and blog lately. Work has been crazy and I have something every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening. Since Cory and I are serious about working out every day (check out crossfit.com! AWESOME!!), I drive straight from work the gym, workout, come home, cook ever so quickly, go where I need to go, come home, go to bed, and start all over!

Some highlights of the week:
1. Jesus the One and Only study is going great!
2. Cory and I love our sign language class.
3. We are starting the Truth Project; we will have to let you know how it goes.
4. Security Forces Spouses meeting was last night and it was fun! Melissa, Kari, and I tied with a nother group the game we played. We knew the most about the Security Forces Group!!
5. It's Friday!!!

I'll try to come back sooner.

Too Long, but Short Update

Last weekend I went to Okoboji, IA for my cousin Amy's wedding. I flew into Minneapolis and stayed the night at my brother's new house. GORGEOUS and in a cool funky part of town; perfect for them! They are dealing with a toilet that overflowed and flooded their main floor which was super sad and destroyed part of their new flooring! Yeah for homeowner's insurance. We drove with my parents to IA for the wedding and it was a blast. Dancing, talking, and family!

This week at work has pretty much flown by and I am super busy. We have Bible study on Monday night at our house, sign language classes on Tuesdays, small group on Wednesday...We are nuts but hey it is fun!

Best part of the week, Cory surprised me with symphony season tickets! He took me to the first one on Tuesday after dinner. Another blessing by the way. We order everything and then our waitress came and told us the man at the front when we walked in paid our tab! The man thought Cory was military and wanted to thank him for his service. We never saw or spoke with the man. How amazing! We are blessed!

GO BRONCOS!!

So I am super stoked that the Broncos are 2-0, even if an argument can be made fro 1-1. I know all the debates and this and that, but bottom line, 2-0!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! Also, I couldn't be happier that the Packers are also 2-0!! Now if the Cowboys win tomorrow we will be three for three this weekend!

Other than that, I am excited for the new blog my friends and I created called Kerb Your Appetite. You can check it out at www.kerbyourappetite.blogspot.com. Basically, four of us decided we are bad influences on each other with food and working out so instead of encouraging each other to eat crap, we want to encourage each other to eat well and work out. Check it out to see exactly how we are starting it. FYI: Kerb comes from the first letters of our names: Kendi, Ellen, Rebecca (Becky but the "R" is more convenient) and Brittney. It should be awesome to be able to help each other.

I leave Thursday for Iowa because my cousin is getting married on Saturday. I can't wait to see my family but bummed Cory won't be there. Can't always get what I want right! I will post pictures when I get back!

Now, I gotta go watch my DVR because I can't miss Army Wives!

Better than Lasts...

I promise this is a better post than the last one. I can tell you a number of reasons why.

1. Cory told me today he has one date/month planned from September to May!!
2. Despite my effort to not hear a future date of Cory's transfer, his squadron commander stopped me in the building they all work and told me September 12th. I realize that the man has been setting those dates that have passed over and over but never has he told me to MY face. Therefore, I will trust one more time.
3. It's Friday and I get to hang out with the Lycans and the Donatells (who are visiting from Colorado).
4. I love reading Genesis!
5. I organized our office supply closet that came in today. Sick I know but it looks awesome!!

Have a great weekend!!
