Wiley in Heels

I thought I would share this picture of Wiley because it's so darn funny.
He is constantly pawing everything... and last night he kept putting his paws on my friend, Katherine's, shoes. I helped him in them and he loved it! He happily stood in them until I didn't feel like holding him in there anymore.

Lunch with Kevin

One of my favorite things to do is meet with Kevin for lunch during the week. When he's home (and his schedule permits) we are able to meet once a week... if not more, for lunch. He goes out of his way to squeeze in a little extra time with me during the day and I love it.  A typical lunch date consists of him picking up sandwiches from our favorite place, then swinging by my office to pick me up and driving to the local marine base to get a little outdoor time at a picnic table.
Our dog, Wiley, is the latest addition to the lunch date... once we're done with our lunch we usually spend the rest of my lunch break playing with him and his favorite thing... a tennis ball. It's the best cure to break up a regular old work day. I can't wait for him to get home so we can start it up again.

Here's a picture I took of him the on our last lunch date before he left... (he didn't know I was taking this picture - I'm sure he'll be thrilled when he sees this).

Kate Middleton....

Just another military wife.

ROYAL WEDDING

O-M-G

I can't wait for the Royal Wedding. A lot of people are getting annoyed by the amount of coverage this is getting. I'm not. I've read almost every article. Looked at almost every picture.

Plus, Prince William is a helicopter pilot! Just like Kevin! Which makes me.... Kate Middleton? I'll take it.

HS 15

Here is a recent picture of Kevin and the officers of his squadron. If you are unable to make out which one is him... just locate the tallest person in the picture and you got your man.

I'm so proud of him.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! That little leprechaun above is my nephew Brady... don't you love the green tuxedo shirt (and the green visor AND the green bagel in his hand)?

Kevin and I live across the street from an awesome Irish pub... and since Kevin is still home with me and has not had to leave for deployment yet (like he was supposed to do today) ... I know exactly where we'll go when I get home from work!

Oh! and a very Happy Birthday to one of my oldest and best friends Kellyann Hennessey!

Ouch

Yesterday was a bad day. I slipped and fell while I was stepping up from a curb onto some very wet grass (it rained all day here yesterday)... it caused me to do the most unnatural split of my life - the right half of my body landed in the mud and my left half landed on pavement. It caused some serious damage folks: my left ankle is bruised, I jammed my thumb and cracked that nail, I got really muddy, and saddest of all.... I broke my glasses. If you laughed at my glasses breaking, I don't blame you. It was a really sad sight to see.

Luckily, no one was around to see it... but it was still awful. When something like that happens to me I really need someone around to feel bad for me and comfort me... unfortunately, Kevin is away right now... so I did what any other person would do... I called my mom.
