I know that it has been a long time since I last posted. The girls have been going on from one sport to another. We had just finished up with soccer. They were amazing this year. The team had won 3 out 6 games. That is 3 more than last year. Ashley loves playing goalie and is great at it. I thought that we were going to have to visit the ER this season. She loves to dive for the ball while feet at still trying to kick at it. Sam is all for action and that is why her fave spot is forward. She scored two goal in the last game. I know that this is going to be the it sport for them both. Who new that my calm, sweet Ashley could be so aggressive.

Ashley had a band festival last month. There were three elementary schools, one of the junior high bands, and one from the high school. All of the elementary kids played together. It was really great. Ashley loves playing the flute. She has picked it up so well. I know that she got the musical genes from my side of the family. I just wished that they didn't skip me. Sam wants to join the band next year. She was scoping all of the instruments to see what she wants to play. She has her heart set on the tuba but since they don't offer it on grade school level she'll just have to settle for playing the trumpet. I think that i will have to invest in earplugs.

Alex will be out processing this next week and then he will be home on leave for three weeks after that. For those of you who don't know Alex is deploying later on this year. He has some training that he has to do in Texas and Kansas and then he will be going to that great big desert. He will probably be gone for 16mo. I don't know if he will be able to make it home for leave while he is gone. We did find out where we are going to when he returns. FT. Benning Georgia. My in-laws are ecstatic that we will only be about 20min away from them.

As you can see I got to meet Peter Facinelli, the guy who plays Dr. Cullen in the movie Twilight. He was great and he said that he loved my shirt and asked to sign it. He is now my most fave actor. He stayed at the PX for 12 hours to make sure that everyone was seen and had whatever they brought signed. How many actors do you know would do that?

School is going great for me. I received my first 4.0 this last quarter. I was so excited that when I found out I had to call my mom. I knew that she would appreciate it as much as me. I do have to go back to school today while the kids are on spring break. Thank goodness Alex is home to watch them. Well that's all for me and my house hold. I don't know when I will be able to update again but I will let you all know when I do. Take care.
