Wow its april 16 and we got 5 inches of snow what is up with that! nick got to call last night and today he is doing good he said yesterday was just a long day with a lot of processing and to day he got shots and did a lot of marching. the real basic training doesn't start until the 20th so i guess we will see how it goes when he really gets to work. I miss him.  we recorded him reading Dr. Susses books so that Leo can have story time with daddy every night. the last couple nights that we have watched them Leo will just sit there mesmerized by Nick on the screen and just watch i've never seen him pay attention  to something so long i think he misses his daddy too. i have a bunch of pictures i want to put on here but i cant find the cable for my camera its driving me crazy gurr i wish i could figure out what happened to it

Rain Drops keep falling on my head

I hate walking the dog in the rain! it was barley sprinkling when i left so i didn't worry about it but whale i was walking it started to down pour so now i'm drenched! gurr stupid dog its all her fault j/k its my own stupidity for not taking an umbrella. I was good this morning and red scriptures with Leo. me and Nick made it a goal to both read 3 pages a day so that we will both finish by the time we are back together. I'm  excited and hope i keep at it as horrible as it sounds I don't think I have ever red the BOM on my own all the way through I've read it with my family and with Nick but never by my self, I guess I'm not really reading by my self this time cause I'm reading to Leo but it might as well be on my own a 7 month old doesn't give a lot of feed back well i guess i better go to work :s i always hate going back after i've been gone for a while alot of catch up to do, oh well at least it will keep me busy, keep my mind off things...

Yeah we finally have internet back!!! wow a lot has happened sense i was on last. for all of you who don't know Nick has joined the US Army. he left for basic training today, its been a hard day. its going to be a long hard 9 weeks until i see him again and then he will go to Texas for A-school for his medic training and then another 52 weeks for his LPN training is going to a long year and a half but in the end it will be worth it. Leo and I will get to move down and be with him for the 52 week program so basically we have to go 6 months with out him its going to suck, i promised him i would write every day so i figure i will write on here to keep everyone up dated and he can read them all once he can get on the computer. well night one all alone here we go :(
