Toby Keith did a great job singing yesterday I loved all of his songs..

Yesterday two soldiers reenlisted and Toby Keith was part of that. I just wish the weather would of been warmer and I was able to get pictures but I couldnt because we were to far away..:(

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day

Miltiary Spouse Appreciation Day..

by Arlene H. Hull

Special to the Tester

'If the military had wanted you to have a spouse, they would have issued one."

Remember those words? Well, that was then and this is now. Americas
military has realized and acknowledged the signifiacance of the military spouse. In 1984 President Reagan proclaimedthe Friday before Mothers Day of each year to be Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Its your day to stand up and be honered.

For the times you've stood and watched a ship sail from the harbor, an aircraft disappear in the the clouds, or a truck convoy pull out of sight, not sure when they would return, we thank you.

For the countless household moves you've made from a place you know to one that's strange and different-often by yourself-we thank you.

For the families you've held together, for the anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays you've celebrated alone, we thank you.

For the hand you've extended to another military spouse when the needwas there, truly creating a military family, we thank you.

For the spirit and strengh you've shown when your service member has gone into harms way, we thank you.

For the pride you've displayed while serving as an ambassador of the military spouse to the rest of the world, we thank you.

Far to frequently, the sacrifices and dedication of the military spouse have gone unnoticed and unappreciated. In our nation's recent history, thousands of service members have been placed in harm's way as they stood watch as freedoms guardian. You too have stood watch at home, facing challenges alone. You

Enjoying the weather

The weather has been really nice here in Germany. Chuck and I have been loving it. Its been so sunny here and even warm. We have been taking walks in the evening and went downtown today and walked around. We are on the hunt for some shorts and tshirts but I was able to find a pair of shorts that I liked but Chuck didnt see anything that he wanted. So we will look around at some other places or even buy from our favorite store Old Navy. We love that store. I hope that everyone else is enjoying the weather to where ever you are..

Look at me

Heres a picture of me wearing my new skirt that I got yesterday at New Yorker. How do I look? Do I look okay?

Amy

Happy Cinco De Mayo

I hope that everyone had a great day today..Chuck had the day off so we went downtown with our friend and had Pizza Hut for lunch and did a little shopping..I didnt buy that much just a pair of sandals and a black skirt at New Yorker..Its just a black one but I hope that it looks good on me. Chuck wants me to wear it so I told him I would.. I am not much of a dressing up person.I like to dress casual and be comfortable. Chuck bought a remote control car and hes playing with it. Hes to funny to watch boys with their toys. He keeps picking on Sabrina with it and teasing her. Shes not that happy with him right now.

Adios,
Amy

Final Destination 3

Chuck and I went and saw Final Destionation 3 today..It was a really good movie. It takes place 6 years later. The movie made you guess what was gonna happen next and the movie had a lot of action to. We both give it 3 stars. I dont want to give to much of the movie away but it is worth seeing. Has anyone else saw this movie tell us what you think of it.

Sorry

Sorry that I havent posted for a few days not much going on with us here. Chuck was in the feild last week for a week and then he had to go back again today just for the night. When he was in the feild I kept busy with cleaning, scrapbooking and hanging out with Sabrina Kitty. The weather has been good in Germany to the sun has been shining mostly everyday this week which is a good thing because I love the sun and when its warm here to. I cant wait for summer to come. Well I hope that everyone is having a happy Tuesday.

How old you think Sabrina Kitty is

Well I am still trying to figure out how old Sabrina Kitty is..Some people say thats shes old and other ones say that shes young..I think she acts young maybe about 1 or 2 years old. I wish I knew more about her history. We took her to the vet 2 months ago and she said that Sabrina was healthy and might be pregnant and that scared me and Chuck for the longest time because we didnt want to be Kitty grandparents. Well she isnt pregnant which is good but shes getting a little tummy on her. LOL. I hope that will be okay for her and the vet dosent say anything to us when we take her back at the end of the month. The vet said that we should only give her one cup of food a day well Chuck and I broke the rules we just pour her food in her bowl which takes her about 3 days to eat it. Am I a bad Kitty mama for doing that.. I just want her to stay healthy. I love to spoil her. Well other than me worrying about her shes doing good and still be naughty and hasnt tried to leave but I still worry about her going out the door. Chuck calls me the crazy cat woman because I am like that.

Amy

What a face

That Sabrina Kitty is making at me..I took this picture a few days ago I was on the computer and ignorning her and she thought she would come up on my computer desk and keep me company. She was knocking everything over and wanting to type to..I guess she just wanting some loving and me to see her..Even know she was being naughty I thought the picture was very cute..

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to our family and friends in the states and in Germany. Today we went to church and then we went to the bowling alley with Rayann, John, Max and Nina for breakfast and pictures with the bunny rabbit. After that Chuck, John and the kids bowled and Rayann and I watched them. The kids played some video games and then we came home..We had a fun morning hanging out with them. Now we are just getting ready to go to our friends house for Easter dinner and then gonna come home and relax. I hope that all of you have a Happy Easter today.


Some interesting facts about Easter.

Show Me The Bunny!

. In Pre Christian times, the rabbit was viewed as natures most fertile animal and therefore became a symbol of spring.

. Its first mention as an Easter symbol is from 16th-century German writings.

. In the 1800s, Germans produced the first edible Easter bunnies of pastry and sugar.

. Around that sametime, German settlers brought the Easter bunny, knowen as Oschter Haws, to the New World. Children were told that if they were good Oschter Haws would leave them colored eggs in a nest.


Happy Eostre!
Today Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ....but the "Easter" really comes from Eostre, the dawn goddess of AngloSaxon myth. Before the advent of Christianity she was honored with an annual festival at the begining of Spring. It was also ancient pre eggs-a symbol of birth and ressurection as gifts in the spring. Today, we call them Easter Eggs.


Hugs,
Amy and Chuck

Cats Sleep Anywhere

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair. Top of the Piano, windo ledge, in the middle on the edge, open drawer, empty shoe, anybodys lap will do. Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks. Anywhere! They don't care. Cats sleep anywhere.
