|{ The National Guard }|

As of yesterday, my husband is now a 2nd Lieutenant in the medical division of the National Guard!!

It was a big step and something that we thought and prayed about a lot! We both feel really great about it and it was cool to see him be commissioned yesterday! He is so proud to be serving his country and I'm proud to be there to support him!!

More (better) photos will be coming once we get them back! :)

The Office and Leverage at the top of a long list (too long of a list), currently though I am LOVING True Blood!

4. What is the best date you've ever been on?

Yes-ish! I am a big facebook and blogging addict BUT I refuse to join Twitter or Google Plus...

|{ Leap Year }|

My birthday is on August 29th.  That means that my half birthday is on February 29th, which only happens on leap year.  Obviously a half birthday is really not a big deal, but we sure had a lot of fun this year!

My parents sent me this card! (This year was my 6th half birthday since I've been born!)  They also gave me $50!!!! (Half of a C-note)! They are so awesome!! I have the most wonderful parents! They rock!!




Jon had a lot of fun too! He gave me 2 half outfits.  A shirt and a pair of workout pants so that they don't go together.  :)



He then made me a delicious dinner!! We had a couple of half tuna croquettes, baby carrots that were cut in half, and little potatoes cut in half!  For dessert we had half of a slice of carrot cake with half of a glass of milk!




It was so much and so sweet of him to celebrate with me! We had a blast! It was a great day! Even if I did have work and school! :)
