Just an Update

Well, things are always going at the Rauwolf house, and things are perfect with Greggory and myself. I wanted to give you guys a little something of how things have been running here, and the best way to do it is to do it day by day. It helps me remember things better!

{Monday} Neither one of us wanted to go back to work after this weekend. Gregg had a four day which he throughly enjoyed, and I didn't want to go back because I wanted to experience a four day weekend. I think he has finally recoperated from his terrifying experience with The Board, but does not want to do it again next month. Both of us went back unfortunately; I had a full days worth of training and Gregg and a lot of paperwork to do with his team to prepare for Block Leave. On Monday, we also ended up getting back our Ford Fiesta which we are not happy about, but oh well. (Long story and I do not want to go into it). On Monday night, the Army held a battalion FRG meeting. I could not go because of work; I wanted to because they talked about the deployment, but Gregg went and got all the information for me. We got their deployment address and it will be given out to families at the right time so we can activate OPSEC....we are ALWAYS OPSEC!!!! If you would like to know this address, please email me and I will get it to you very creatively.

{Tuesday} Well, Gregg went to work and today he has CQ which stinks. CQ is when two soldiers have to stay awake for 24 hours and protect the Company area. So, I will be sleeping alone once again. I did take him and the other soldier working dinner (chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, chili, and caprese....don't worry, all leftovers). They loved it! With Gregg gone for the night, it gave me some quiet time to do some girly things. I made cheese cake bars from scratch for tomorrows Company barbeque. I forgot to get a picture, sorry! I made the crust out of Honey Grahm crackers, sugar, and vanilla. The cheesecake part was made out of cream cheese, sugar, and eggs....I think I got everything...yea, I did. I also decorated the top of the cheesecake bars with Christmas colors to make them look like little presents. They were cute, and I was proud of myself! I am also decorating my very own wreath this year which I have never done before. I started on it tonight, but have not finished...this is what I got so far..

{Wednesday} Well, so far Gregg is asleep recoperating from his long shift at work, and I just got home. Today I helped Jessica Chinchilla get ready for the Company barbeque. I went alone because I knew Gregg would probably fall asleep at the table. I am glad he did not go because it was just too darn cold and wet. My feet felt like ice! I only stayed for an hour after it started because I just could not take it anymore. So, I am going to go change into very warm pajamas and curl up next to Gregg for a long nap!

Oh, starting on Friday, Gregg and I will begin our TEN day Block Leave. YAY...no work for TEN days!! I think we are going to Barcelona, Spain. However, with this block leave, it will give us plenty of time for our last video chats as a couple with the family before Gregg leaves for deployment...So, email me if you would like to have one! Okay, I think thats about it, LATER!
