third time is the charm

Today I had a third flood inside my quaint little home. I never knew my toilet could look like Niagara Falls so often. I am so tired of smelling bleach and poop. Ugh! I am tired and cranky and want Kyle to come home. School has kept my brain moving and I know this too shall pass.

The sun is out and I have to get happy so I am going for a walk with diesel and then wait for Kyle to make it home tonight. The house is clean and his birthday present is "wrapped." This is going to be a good weekend. :)

Here is a picture of the ugly tile under the carpet yet to get fixed. We have to wait until Monday. On the up side, the fans are gone and so the house is calm and quiet. Here is Diesel sleeping in his corner as he had been banished from the house to stay out of the water and out of the way of the workers.

It, again, has been quite awhile since I have had anything to say. Just to catch you up:

Kyle came home from deployment and we went to Hawaii. :) It was so fun! We went snorkeling, jet skiing, soaked up the sun by the beach and the pool, we went to a luau, visited Pearl Harbor and just caught up with each other. We were very lucky to be able to go. Here is the view from the hotel.

We got a chance to go home and see family after Hawaii. It was fun to see Diesel recognize Kyle. He latched on with his little paws on his shoulders and Kyle carried that big 'ol dog around for awhile. Diesel never left his side. It was sadly too cold to do much outside but we ran errands everyday and got a lot taken care of. We hung out with family. It was obvious Kyle was glad to be home.

Kyle got eye surgery and then we were off to Vegas for the Marine Corps Ball Celebration. We were on the go and in the car for about two weeks! I was tired of sitting in a car and getting car sick. But we had fun. We made it to the ball just as it was starting.

Back in Twentynine Palms, I log onto the computer once a day to get school work done. Four weeks into my MBA program, I am getting my mind back into the swing of school. I am a phoenix and it is pretty cool to say. Kyle goes to school too. He is in week three of Sniper School and he is finding it is pretty challenging. I believe in him and I know he will do great. It is just another time a part. He gets to come home most weekends. He is coming home this weekend and we are celebrating his 25th Birthday. We are going to grill steak and asparagus and have rice or potatoes as a side. I haven't decided. I will bake a vanilla cake from scratch. Maybe we will rent a movie! ;)

I think that is all for now. I will try to write more now that life has settled down. Over and out.
