Congratulations to my cousin Jim and his new wife Kim

Congratulations to my cousin Jim and his new wife Kim. They got married married in Neveda last week. They came back to NY to visit and my aunt had a wonderful wedding reception for them today at the VFW since my cousin is in the Airforce. It was a nice turn out for them. I got some great pics to. I love weddings and especially receptions. It was a Kareoke wedding it was fun watching everyone sing. When I get back home next week I will post pics for everyone to see from my trip.

I am in NY

I am in NY now we got here earlier today. It was a long trip and interesting to. We had weather in NC up in the 70s and then its in the 20s in NY. Its freezing here and theres a lot of snow here also. I didnt miss the snow when I was in NC. I brought my boots with me for it. They will definitely be for good use here. I am happy that there will be a lot of fun things going on while I am home. I am really tired and glad to be in NY with our families for 2 weeks.

Some news from me and Chuck

I got pics from Chuck today. I loved seeing his smiling face in his pics. He got to meet the Dolphin Cheerleaders, Craig Morgan and Mark Wills, and some singer. I am not sure of her name. Hes still in Kuwait and hes doing good he said. Well as good as he can. He saids its freezing there. Hes gonna be there for a few more days until he goes to his next place. I have the sweetest hubby he had Craig Morgan send a message to me. He sent me the video and its on facebook to. Craig saids Merry Christmas Amy. Hes to sweet for doing that. :) It cheered me up yesterday. I have been down lately because I miss Chuck and sometimes the sappy christmas songs make me cry also. Anybody else feel like I do when their soldier is deployed. :) I was so happy to get the pics. His smiling face cheers me up.

Tomorrow I am going home for Christmas back to NY. They are getting hit hard with snow there yuck. Please say a prayer that we have a safe trip and that the weather is okay. I hate snow and driving in it too. I worry. I am looking forward to see my family and his family. I miss them all. Its gonna be great to be with loved ones during the holiday season.

NY Bound for 2 weeks 20, Dec-3 08, 3 Jan 09

Yay on Saturday I am gonna be NY bond for 2 weeks to see our family and friends. I miss being home. It will be great to be around them for awhile. I am so looking for to it. I need a little break from Ft bragg. My friend Liz is coming to visit me on Wenesday and take me home with her. I am looking forward to seeing her and her friend. I told Chuck that I was going back to NY on Saturday for Christmas. He said that he was happy because he didnt want me to be a lone for the holidays. The only downfall of me going home is that I am gonna miss my friends here. I will see them January 4th when I am back. Its gonna be a sad Christmas this year because I would love to be with Chuck. I cant wait for next year when hes back home safe.

Annoyed with telemarketers

I am getting very annoyed with Chucks cell phone lately the only people that call it are telemarketers. I told this lady that Chuck was overseas and she said that it was a important message to higher his education. Then she said will he be back next week I said no. She was trying to get nosey with me which got more annoying especially when I am walking around walmart. I didnt feel like talking to her and explaining things to her but she was being annoying. Then later some guy called and asked for Chuck. He wanted to know if he wanted to higher his education I said well hes not in then he asked me if I wanted too. I said not right now. Then he asked me which got me really annoyed. I felt bad but I was being a big grump. Then they called back again spoke spanish and wanted to know if Chuck was here and wanted to higer his education. I hungup the phone on her. Is there a way for me to block annoying telemarketers on his cell phone.

3rd Brigade Christmas Party

Today my friend Casie and I went to the the Christmas party for our unit. At first I didnt want to go because it was mainly for the kids but I am glad that I did. It was fun. The 82nd Airborne Choir came and sang Christmas songs and a couple of their other ones. They did a great job. I was kind of faraway but I was able to get a pic of them. Then they they had food every unit was assigned to bring a dish. Ours was the store bought deserts so I brought christmas tree cookies. We met up with my other friend and her kids and we all ate together and the kids sat on Santas lap. It was fun. I was watching some of the kids up there and a lot of them were afraid of him. Then some guys walked around and gave everyone gifts. Some got books and some got notebooks. Casie and I got blue notebooks. At first I thought the gift was silly but lately I have been forgetful so I am glad that I have it. I have it in my purse.

5 am phone calls

Well I know that everyone that has someone in the miltary gets those early morning phone calls. Chuck called me today at 5am he woke me up but I didnt care. I told him that he was the only person that could get away with that. He said that its warm in Kuwait but in the evenings it gets cold. Hes glad that they fixed his heater in their tent. We talked about different things and I cant remember everything because it was to early in the morning. He said they are gonna be their for a week and then they are off to their new place. I got his address if anyone wants it. Just hit me up on IM or email and I can tell you. He said where hes going there isnt gonna be much to get so he gave me a list of stuff that he wants. I told him that when I come home from my trip in January I can get everything that he wants and needs. Its been a week since hes been gone but I am getting better. I still really miss him but it helps me that I have my friends here and everywhere that knows what I am going through because they are too. Thanks everyone.

Living at Ft Bragg

I am not sure if I am gonna like living at Ft Bragg by myself for a year. My neighbor my friend told me a scary story about a lady that lived on her street and got hurt. I am not gonna go into details but I know that you all know what I am talking about. There has been two break ins that happened during the day in Heritage Village. One guy broke in during the day today while the lady was upstairs sleeping and she saw him and screamed and called 911. He ran out the door. I just dont want anyone to break in to my house. They wouldnt have to worry about killing me because I would have a heart attack anyways. I just want to feel safe. I wish that Heritage Village since its a Miltary housing area has guards like on post. Any tips so I can feel safe and not worry about my safety. My friend has a dog but I dont havea any guard dogs just my cat. Shes a guard cat but if someone comes in my house that she dosent know she runs.

Happy Birthday to my mom and Chucks Dad, Ross and Mark

Happy Birthday to my mom and Chucks Dad. I hope that you both have a wonderful day. Happy Birthday to Chucks cousins Ross and Mark too. I hope that you both have a wonderful day.

Love,
Amy, Chuck and Sabrina

Some reviews

Heres a movie review for Twilight. Chuck and I and our friends got to see it last Friday. We thought the movie was really good. I know that I should of read the book first but everyone wanted to see it so we did . I am gonna start reading the book this week.

Yesterday we saw a awesome Christmas play my friends and I at a nearby Church. It was called the Kingdom of Light. All the actors and the music was awesome. I am glad that I went because it got me out of the house.

Some Deployment updates

I heard from Chuck yesterday and hes doing good. He called me from his first stop Maine and had a couple hour layover and called me. Then he came online in Ireland but I wasnt home to chat with him because I went to a christmas play with my friends. Then he called me on the cell phone last night since I wasnt home. Hes in Kuwait now. It was great to hear from him. Hes doing good and said that they changed the DSN phones over there and they work better which is good also. Well they are there for a week or so and then they are going to you know where. He wanted me to tell everyone hi.

Deployment Day

Our Deployment Day is here. Chuck and his soldiers left early this morning for Iraq. We knew about this day for a long time but I still wished this day didnt come. Its gonna be a year long which is gonna stink but I hope that it goes fast. We got some pics they arent the best pics because it was so cold and windy and I was teary eyed. I was happy that I got some. I am so proud of Chuck and hes so brave.

Operation At Ease

Standing by the sign that the sweet lady made for Chuck and Jeff.

Operation At Ease was something that these people set up for the miltary and their families. We got to stay in a really nice condo with our friends Jeanette and Jeff for the weekend. It was a free and we got to golf, swim and cayack. We got to eat breakfast for free on Saturday and Sunday at Surfers. The food was pretty good. We got to see the sights around St James plantation and then around Southport. It was right by the ocean and it was so pretty. Our condo was really nice. The lady that showed us around gave us a tour and made a sign for Chuck and Jeff. Her son use to be in the Marines so she was so apprecative of the miltiary. The weather wasnt that cooperative but we made the best of it.

Friday we got there and it was sunny so we got to take pics and we saw Twilight since it was free.

Saturday it rained but we took the car over on the ferry to Ft Fisher. We went to the NC Aquarium. It wasnt that big in there but still neat to see. Then we went around town and saw all the neat stores. We went to a really nice Christmas store. I loved it and I wished that we could of taken pics. I got a few pics on the outside but it was rainy and I didnt want to ruin my camera.

Sunday was our last day and we ate breakfast and then went to Caswell Beach and got some pics and walked up and down it. Then we headed home. We had a fun day.

It was a nice and relaxing weekend. I want to share all my pics with you guys. Does anyone know how to share a slide show on blogger.
