Rayne Drops.: October 2011

I moved our chain link into the living room and draped it around the room.

143 links = 143 days finished.

We are into deployment by 143 days. We are also past our estimated halfway point! Celebrate! (Actually we ARE celebrating this weekend with our "over the hump" halfway party!). Now instead of mostly counting the days that have passed, we can start counting down. Pretty great if you ask me, that the amount of days we have left, is less.

Today I did a pretty typical run to Sam's Club (for a hot dog combo) and Walmart. I was able to find 3 movies in the $5 bin for Austin.We also stopped by the .99 store. Our monthly FRG meeting was tonight, and they did "Trick or Trunking" for the kids. No worries, everyone who participated was known and a part of our FRG, no strangers giving children candy out of their cars. AWS didn't really understand, but he did like the fact he got candy. He even said "thank you!".

I may be biased, but I think he's absolutely adorable. (:

And little miss Pey was Dorothy from the Wizard Of Oz, and she was tired.

See, ruby slippers.

Yesterday I successfully rearranged AWS's bedroom... again. Results.

However, I'm pretty sure it won't STAY this clean though...

In other news, we were delivered our new bed on Friday. My husband and I have never bought a new bed for ourselves, we have always had the same mattress set my mom found for us for over the past 3 years. Finally, we were able to afford a new set. Finally, we indulged a little and did that for us.
