Basically, I owe a huge thank you to Emily, Amanda, and all the amazing moms over at Navyformoms.com. I finally have the motivation to write again and I owe that to you guys. Sounds corny and probably weird, but I've become extremely fond of the Nuke Moms. They've accepted me into their group, and I couldn't be happier to be there. They keep me company when my days get really long!
Recap: Pulled a 4.0 for Fall Quarter. Took a trip to SC for Thanksgiving. AMAZING. I spent four amazing days with Aaron; there was not a happier girl in the universe that weekend. :) I got to meet a few wives while I was down there, and even the famous Casey from navyformoms.com! Charleston is simply gorgeous, and even though I ended up in tears after we saw downtown because I wore the wrong shoes to walk in, I fell in love, and I can't wait to go visit Clemson University next month!

| I didn't know it then, but they filmed several scenes from Army Wives on this bridge!! :) |

| I managed to get some pretty amazing pictures even though I suck at photography :) |
After Thanksgiving, I got busy at home doing things I've been meaning to do for awhile. I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics A LOT, and I managed to make some pretty cute purses which I gave for Christmas gifts. :)
Aaron was able to make it home for two weeks for the holidays... I was pretty spoiled with three visits in three months at the end of the year!! And the day after Aaron came home, we got to drive to Illinois to pick up my sister and her kiddos. We all ended up sick, but it was still a wonderful holiday season!
OH! Added bonus: We all got to meet my new sister-in-law, Kerri. My brother eloped much to the entire family's surprise, but I think he definitely picked a good one! I even got to go on an adventure with her to the Dayton Air Force Base to get her a military id... And yes, it was an adventure!
New Years Eve came and went, and Aaron left that morning. Definitely a sad goodbye... I think they're always worse when you don't know when you'll see each other next. At least we know we'll see each other in April for Power School Graduation (which I've officially started a countdown for: see below!). Maybe goodbyes just get harder with time instead of easier...
Alright, well I suppose I'll head to bed for the night. I have scholarship applications to fill out tomorrow! :/

| These are from his A school leave from October. He took me on a "fancy date" since he missed Junior Prom, Senior Homecoming, and soon to be Senior Prom. I loved showing off my sailor. :) |
