lucky for you guys...im gonna inform you on my week
saturday~going away party with the family in valley springs for my uncle...not too sad...it hadnt quite hit me completely yet that he was leaving for 18 months. but i had a day full of entertaining a 3 and 6 year old...how exciting :/
sunday~i dont remember
monday~got up at 7...not fun...and went to starbucks with my madre and we met up with my 2 aunts, 2 uncles, grandpa, cousins, and one of my aunt's mom. we then all drove over to camp parks which is the army base in dublin to drop off my uncle brian so he could report for duty. this is where he would stay for 4 more days and him and the rest of his unit would get trucks, gear, and anything else they could possibly need and then head out to texas or louisianna(sp?) for the next six months. and then after that they all get flown over to kuwait and drive over to iraq where they'll stay there for at least 12 months. when we dropped him off it was soo sad...it had finally hit me that i wasnt going to see him for a year and a half...my favorite uncle gone for that long. its going to be really hard :( so we are standing there for a little while after my uncle goes into the building and we hear from a nearby window "you guys are still here?!?!" coming from my uncle, so he comes back out with his commanding officer and he informs us all that my uncle is his right hand man and that he couldnt have asked for anyone better for this job. it was...just woah...somewhat comforting. so we finally left and then i had to spend the rest of the day with my aunt missy and cousins mykayla and emma, very cute kids but very tiring to keep up with. so my aunt and i were trying to think of something that we could do with them for the day and all we could think of that the girls wanted to do was miniature golfing (@ boomers). kinda boring yet humerous with the tots.
tuesday~dentist...i hate the dentist-always have and always will. and then soccer practice.
wednesday~orientation and pics with dani meg chels and garrett. meg's house. mall with everyone minus garrett...what a poor sport. jamba juice. nails-hott pink ;). and soccer practice again
thursday~school shopping and soccer training
today~slept in hella late and then off to walmart for some necessities
tomorrow(saturday)~"family day" with the family...what a surprise. going to angel island and alcatraz...all i have to say is i hope my phone gets service there :/
