Wild Wonderful Weekend!!!

Well...The Wonderful Tide has Rolled!!!! We are now #2 in the nation!!! Now, I am no fool...I know that can change on Any Given Saturday, however I am a happy smiling Bama Girl right now!!!!

I finally got a few emails from Jeremy on Sunday. Communication had been down since Wednesday~ish, so it was nice to know he was still alive :) They are now fighting pirates!! There is a video on youtube about what is going on. This video clip mentions the USS Howard, which is Justin's ship, but about a hour after Gina sent this over to me, Jeremy sent us (Gina and me) an email telling Gina to tell Justin to go outside and wave to him. So I guess the Roosie has arrived.

Niki and Kevin think it is dang kool that their dad and Justin are out there fighting pirates!! On a more serious note, we need to keep both of these ships and their sailors in our thoughts and prayers. As well as the crew on board the hostage ship.

Sunday was EXTREMELY productive for Da Byrd's. We went to church on Sunday, took Ashley to get something to eat before workshop, took the A-Team some lunch, visited with Madrea and iddy biddy, then went home, started work on the garage, went picked Ashley back up from workshop, took her to Wal-Mart to get Fusion Weekend items (picked up Niki Byrd's also), took Ashley home, went back and finished the garage, took items to the Salvation Army, came back home started work on the "weed" bed in the front yard, got about 20% done. Went inside, took showers, I did homework till 11:30~ish then off to bed...WHEWWWW. Busy Busy. I did laugh b/c Jeremy sent me an email last night while I was working on homework wondering why I had not written him much all day, he said "have you been busy"...UMMM yeah.

Jeremy was gone for a month yesterday :( with no real end in sight due to how long this deployment is. I guess I have football to keep me company until January.

I have actually decided to do lots of cleaning out and organization. With Jeremy not here requesting to keep every single thing I come across, it will be easier. I have worked on the kitchen a bit, I need to get rid of pans and bowls that I have had for years. I want to price getting a water softener system for the house, the hard water stains are KILLING my dishes, silverware, and glasses. Since we are staying here for a while I have starting looking at this house a little different. Like I really want to "move in". It is a nice house, it just holds a few sore spots for me right now, but I will get over it. Things are looking up for us, and come January, I really think we will be in a good spot, GOD willing.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy week!!
