13 days and counting!

Good Morning All,

Hey guys, the countdown is on! We are under 2 weeks away from being home and could not be more excited! You really don't appreciate home until you go way for a little while. Both Adam and I can't wait to see you all and share in some celebrations!

Talk about being sentimental, I have never been overly emotional or sentimental before in my life but I have a new found appreciaion for actually spending time and getting in touch with "feelings." It's almost a foriegn word to me but being out here has helped me grow a lot. So Tammy I can see why you feel the way you so about your friend. I am so sorry to hear about that bad news. Just goes to show that we have to live each day to the fullest. That's something that Adama and I are starting to recognize while being out here. As much as we wanted to be home and with our family we realized we can't wish our life away while we're out here. That's sort of what we did for the first little while out here...everything was in anticipation of going home instead of just living each day reagardless where we are. Good thing we realized it now though or before we knew it we'd be through our first year together without even knowing where it went. I recognize it so it's ok to be doing a countdown for home!!! hahah

Alright, that's my Dr. Phil moment for the month! No but really, I miss you guys a lot and can't wait to spend christamas and the wedding together. You can't replace that family time...it's very special.

As for the weekend. We finally won our first game! We finished 5th in the tournament...lost our first 2 games and then won the last one. We've come a long way though...some serious improvements...We play this Wednesday and that it our first league game so we'll see how that goes..I am not predicting a win but it should be a lot closer than the last time we played them...I think we lost by 25 or 30 them last week....I am hoping to keep it within 10 this week...if we don't win I mean!

Alright, better get going here..I always spend my first hour of the day checking mail and blogs and my hour is up...so it's go time! Love you guys...Neils' getting hitched in t minus 21 days!! go Neilster!

Love B dot
