Today is not a peaches and roses day for me but I am trying to be in a happy mood. My husband left for the Dakota's today and I miss him so much my heart hurts. I think the holidays make me miss my family more. Chris never made it home this week and Kevin just left for another few days in Wisconsin.  

My heart feels so sad, but I am trying hard not to let this get to me too much. David has the bigger sacrifice, he has to leave home and family and go places that are unfamiliar to him. 

Maggie's bunk beds came in and we have no one to help us put them together. We can't do it because we are afraid if mom goes to sleep on her bunk they may collapse on her. We are looking to pay any man willing to come help get a nice home cooked dinner, any takers?  

I bought some sample products from Walgreen's today and padded my reward points. The lady that checked us out let Maggie use my number so I got her points too. I got $20 in points so far, by Christmas it will be $30, that is not too bad for extra money for those last minute things you forget. 

David,

I wish you safe travels babe, at least you get to see some new territory.  :) I miss you like crazy, it was too short of a weekend. I love you so much. Congrats on your raise in case I forgot to say that. :)
