Snow Day in NC

North Carolina had a big snow fall this year. We got about 6 inches of snow yuck. I havent saw this much snow here before. I know if Chuck was here he would of loved it. He loves snow. We are both from NY where it snows all the time but to see it here is wierd. I got some pretty pics of it. I just wish that I didnt scratch the lens on my camera when I was doing it. I was trying to protect it from the snow. :( I took some pics after it and they all came out good so hopefully my camera will be okay. :)

Back in NC

I am back in NC after being in NY for 2 weeks with our family. I had so much fun while was I home. I am glad that I got to see mostly everyone there. I got a lot of great pics let me go through them later on and see which ones I want to share. I got a lot of great ones. I heart my family. My friends came and got me on Sunday afternoon since they were in NY visiting also. They were with my friend Jeanettes sister. We spent the night at the Super 8 Sunday evening. They were to tired to drive. We left yesterday morning from Carisle PA and got back at Ft bragg around 93opm. It was a long drive but I am glad that to be back. I missed my kitty, friends and my house. My friends said they were happy to back at Ft Bragg also. I am planning on going back to NY maybe in the spring time or the summer time. It helps to keep busy when my favorite soldier is deployed.

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.

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.

I hate NC bugs and Ants

This is a very grumpy blog about the NC bugs and ants. They all make me so mad and very grumpy. Why do they insist on coming in my house for. I bought some posion for them to kill them but I have to be careful because of Sabrina. I dont want her to get sick. I found yucky ants in Sabrinas food today. I didnt have that problem with them last summer but now they invaded it. I am gonna call housing and have them spray outside and inside. Does anyone have any other ideas to get rid of them before I go insane. Last summer they came to visit me to when Chuck was deployed. They invaded the back bedrooms and bathrooms. Its a never ending story of the unwanted house guest that come in and invade our house. Did I mention that I also have those big brown spiders again but Sabrina eats them for me when she sees them. Okay enough of venting. :( Last summer the guy that sprayed said they like to visit us because our house is cool and we are also right by the feild. That didnt make me feel any better when he told me that.

Some ideas

I got some ideas for when Chuck goes on block leave next month. We want to have fun so I was thinking of Busch Gardens since we can get in free for the day there. I found out that from one of my friends. I looked at www.saluteourheros.com or something like that. We are definitely gonna have fun when we go. I have only been to Busch Gardens Africa when I was little. He said that he went to Busch Gardens Europe when he was little. They got new rides there and some cool shows to see. We want to see Wynonna Judd on post for the 4th of July. We also want to spend a few days at Myrtle Beach and just relax on the beach. Well I really want to go and see the USS North Carolina since we didnt get to tour it last time. It would be neat to see and it has lots of history there to. I want to do the Ghost tour of Wilmington to. I heard it was neat. We dont have any final plans for his block leave yet. We are still thinking of what to do. We really wanted to go to Florida but that isnt gonna work out for us. Maybe the gas prices will go down in September and we can go on his 2nd block leave.

Ghost on the Battleship North Carolina.

I havent done book reviews for awhile. Ghost on the Battleship North Carolina was a awesome book. Danny the author of the book shares his experiences of his encounters with the ghost aboard the ship. After all the tourist leaves he sleeps on the ship. He saids what it is like to be on there. He had some scary experiences with the ghost. I really enjoyed the book.

Chuck and I and our friend got to meet Danny when we saw the battleship back in March. We didnt get to tour it because it was going to be closing. We got to meet him in the giftshop they had there. He was a nice guy. I had the book since then but I have been a slow reader. I am glad that I finished it today. :)

Lonestar Concert

Yesterday Chuck and I and our friend Jeanette went and saw Lonestar. They did a free concert for the troops and their families. They sang at Festive Park in downtown Fayetteville. They did a great job. They sang most of their songs and some new ones to. They thanked the troops for seving. We had so much fun. They had flags set up there to for the fallen soldiers. It was a nice night and we are happy that there no rain. We took a lot of pics there.

River Boat Cruise

Standing by the big boat.

Looking cool with my shades on. My parents and I spent the day in Wilmington in nC. We didnt do the beach this time we just did a boat cruise for a hour in a half on the river there. We got a neat tour and got to see some stuff. I am happy that it was a nice day for us. Heres some pics from today.

If Sabrina Isnt Happy Ain't Nobody Happy. .....

If Sabrina Isnt Happy Ain't Nobody Happy is so true for our trip. She was miserable the whole trip down to NC. She made us miserable to. She cried all the whole way from New York to to the Super 8 motel in VA. When we got in there she cried the whole night while we trying to sleep. She kept me awake. She drove me nuts and my parents to. She was a very unsatisfied customer there. She would jump on my head then go to my parents bed and jump on theres to. I was so not happy with her. I was a very mad mommy last night. Now shes back in her own house and she seems to be happy now. :) I am very tired and glad that the day is almost over with.

Sabrina said shes gonna blog about this weekend. Shes to tired tonight.

Going back to to NC today

I had a ton of fun in NY and it helped make my deployment to go fast. I am gonna try and come home again. I seem to get more homesick when Chuck is gone. We are gonna spend the night in Virginia and then head to NC tomorrow. My parents are gonna hangout with me until Monday and then they are going home. We are gonna go to the beach one day and not sure what the other day. I will talk to everyone when I get to NC. I just hope that Sabrina can handle all this traveling. That poor cat had to get her nails trimmed yesterday and she wasnt happy. I felt bad because she bit my friends sil because she was really scared.
Hugs
