I Love My Hubby

awwww...

yep i said it. i love my hubby. as you all know he came home on r&r last month. during that time my computer died. really it did. it wouldn't even turn on. it's pathetic really. so he lovingly hooked up his laptop for my use. and low and behold it is powerful enough to run the new blogger beta so i can get back to updating my demanding public!

so what's new in the house of wahab? well let's see.

this week neilson moved to his new unit 6-9 cav. his address has changed. email me if you want his new address as i won't post it due to security. and i have a new email address as well. all my old accounts are active but when we move i will stick to the new one. email me at one of my old accounts for my new one. how's that for confusing??

anyway, his move was successful and uneventful thank God! he had to convoy from FOB to FOB but he was good and emailed me the second he could. i'm excited to report that his new roommate has internet access in the room so he can email me from the almost privacy of his room. he has also set me up with an official army email address so now we can use instant messager to "talk" in the evenings. it's almost like a phone call everynight so that is awesome!

and DUH!! i totally didn't mention neilson's huge news--- as i'm sure you all heard the department of defense has extended all active duty army deployments to 15 months. that will put neil stateside in january of 08. *pout* i found out this wonderful news online and thinking neilson allready knew, emailed him about my displeasure -- but guess what?? i was the lucky person who told our favorite soldier!! the news was not well received here as you can imagine but we are getting used to the idea.

we have some wonderful news from kansas. gabriel evan mckinley was born april 11, 2007. 8 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. mandi and wade are doing well. little gabriel is partial to his auntie heather and can you blame him?? (ok so maybe i made that up but who's going to argue with me??)

we got gracie's enrollment packet mailed to killeen this week. we chose st. christopher's episcopalian preschool in killeen. it is right next to neilson's old apartments which is a good thing because that means i can find where it is! she will go tuesday, wednesday and thursdays from 900 to 230. and i'm talking to them about possibly working for them in some capacity. prayers are welcome in that area!

and that's about all i know this week.

oh i forgot i wanted to make my political plug for the day:

please!! if you don't like this extension news or the war in the middle east, write your congressmen/women! the burden of the many cannot continue to be carried by the few!!

blessings
