First day of 1st grade (Big sigh!)

She wasn't nervous at all. She really didn't even want to go. She just wanted to get it over with. But then she met her teacher, Ms Schoenig, and she instantly enjoyed her first day at her new school, Country Hills. It was nice to see that she already knew some of the children through the summer day camp that I put her in. I don't want to jump the gun, but I think this will be a nice transition for my princess. Yeah, Melia!!!

This time tomorrow...

...I'll be in the LBC just about to board this ship with my good friends & I CAN'T wait! I'm definitely looking forward to some "girl" time, however I'll miss my love here at home. I'm sure I'll get over it. Ridiculous amounts of fun will be had so stay tuned for some blackmail material...I mean, lovely scenic photos of our cruise! (insert evil laugh!) Love ya, mean it!

Great start, Seattle!!!

Lisa & I drove down to San Diego yesterday to support my Seahawks! It was a great day...lots of traffic, beautiful weather & great conversation. We got to my mom's & headed down to Qualcomm Stadium & had a great dinner! Teri chicken, rice & potato salad...Mmmmm so ono!

I love Qualcomm SD because they show so much love to the military & you can't help but be overwhelmed by the mass love & appreciation. Thanks guys, for all you do! And although the game wasn't all it was cracked up to be, it was still a win in my book! Enough to get the football juices flowin'! Keep it up guys!

Love my brothers!

We had such a great time in Hawai'i! I miss my baby brothers terribly! Love you guys, always! XOXOXOX
