October 8

Wow, here we are in October alread! Not a lot of changes to report, however I did loose my best friend last month to a PCS move to Hawaii! I am so jealous, LOL! I miss her like crazy and I drove by her house the other day for the first time and boy did that make me sad!! Samantha really misses her buddie Ella, and little man Bensen. I knew that this is part of the Army life, but I still was not ready for it! I have several friends here at Benning, but no one could replace my Brandi!! She wants me and the kids to come to visit when John is deployed. Sure I would love that, but I don't really see me being able to afford it! The kids are searching the internet looking for ideas for they're Halloween costumes. I will definately be taking pics and posting them when they are all dressed up! John is doing really well at work. He is a team leader, they gave him two new soldiers to mold and shape. He has earned a lot of respect up on the Hill, and finds himself being the "dad" to more than just his two soldiers. He works long hours and his phone rings several times a night when he is home. But at least I know he will be home every night. We are still waiting to get our notice that we will be moving into our new house. I have heard a lot of different things, but I am expecting it anytime now. John is not due to deploy until the fall of next year thank goodness! My nephew Skyler is in the Marines, and he will be stationed in North Carolina, and they are due to deploy to Afghanistan at the beginning of next year. Well, that is all I have for now, love you guys!
