This past week, Jaynee and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary (the girls came to dinner with us too). Looking back it has been a fun ride. Who would have thought 7 years ago I would be in the Army, we would have 2 nearly twin girls, I would have served 2 tours in Iraq, and we would be living in Georgia for all but one year of our marriage. We have lots of fun times to look back on. In fact for our anniversary I got off work early and we went out to dinner (to a buffet because of the speed in which the girls can get their food). After that I wanted to get Jaynee a nicer camera to take action photos of the girls with. Our current camera worked just great as long as the girls held still while the camera processed the picture. After that we came home and put the girls down. Jaynee and I stayed up and talked for a while about the past seven years. We would ask a general question and we would both have to answer the question. The questions were general in nature but required a specific answer. It was fun to talk about how much has change and in some instances the lack of change over our time as a couple.
This holiday weekend will be the last free one I have for a while. I begin work on another semester Tuesday towards completing my Master's in Telecommunications Management. I should be complete with my degree next April. It will be a wonderful celebration once I get to the point. But with this being my last full weekend to work on house projects, there is not enough time in the day to complete them all. Friday it began with lawn care. Mowing the lawn to all low as possible then trimming the edges. This was prep work for the project on Saturday. When that was done, I needed to finish work on a drain pipe from the house. I needed to install an on/off valve in case of any type of flood waters and to finish work on the drain area by clearing it out and placing rocks in the drain area. Saturday, I spent 9 hours painting our fence. I still have one gate to take the boards off and paint, but with the storms going through this weekend. I will have to do that later this week or next week. Today, I was supposed to install new shelves in Jaynee's pantry, but that will be held to next week so that Jaynee can help me. Next weekend we are putting the girls in day care so we can enjoy "Parent's Day Out". This is a program for the military that allows parents to drop kids off at day care for up to 5 hours so that the parents can have time to do things they need to. It should be a fun filled day of projects and then a trip to Atlanta to pick up Jaynee's parents who will be in the area for the next month. Until next week.
