The Holidays in Washington

Mrs. Revilla demanded that I update my blog, so this is for her. Even though I told her my life is not that interesting and I didn't really have anything to blog about. For all of you that don't know Rachel is having a baby girl!! I saw that you had it out on your blog, so I thought it would be okay to say it on mine. Haha , love you Rach! I'm soo excited for you. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It was hard being away from family and friends on the holiday, but Michael and I made the best of it. He ended up finding out that he had to do a 24 hour shift Thanksgiving day which was no fun. However, he did manage to sneak away for dinner, so I was happy. We ended up going to his boss's house and it was nice. Everyone in the Army has been very welcoming and it was good to spend the holiday with other people. On Friday Michael and I had our own Thanksgiving feast...I cooked (scary thought). He ended up being very impressed by the meal. I made my mom's sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and the smallest turkey known to man. It wasn't as good as my mom's cooking, but I must admit I shocked even myself. Other than working, not much has been going on. Michael and I decorated our apartment for Christmas (sorry Laura, I did it the Sunday before Thanksgiving...I have no will power!!). I went out and bought a tree for $35 at Walmart. From the picture you can why it's worth $35. We also got personalized stockings to hang on our mantle. I know...we are just cute like that(you can vomit now). Well, that's my update. I know it's thrilling! Miss you guys and I will see you soon!
