Friend's Promotion

First off, I passed my midterm! WOO HOO!!! Just gotta keep on studying for the next several weeks to prepare for the Final! =) =) =)

Secondly, there was a huge storm last night (I was awakened at 4am from the heavy down pour of the rain), and this morning when I woke up, eager to have a big breakfast to prepare for the midterm, there was a POWER OUTAGE! I was only able to find one flashlight and so I got ready in the dark holding a flashlight to guide me while I was frantically trying to look somewhat decent as I left the house. The kitchen, living room, and the bathrooms still don't have power, so hopefully the maintenance guy will come soon and help me. I'm looking at the fridge and all the food that's in there and I'll be really upset if it all goes bad! As Caleb likes to tell me...groosefrabba!

Yesterday, a friend of Caleb's got promoted to Captain and I was there to capture some photographs. Me and his girlfriend, Jen, have become great friends and I'm happy that they are stationed here so that we can continue to grow our friendship!

Hope everyone is having a good start to their week! 

I'm still trying to get over a cold, but saw the doctor yesterday, so hopefully his medicine will do the trick! 

XOXO

Hee-Haw Dance!

Tonight was our church's first social dance where we were able to fellowship and enjoy a night full of dancing! I was on the committee and we started planning this event since the summer, so to see it all come into place tonight was a lot of fun and very rewarding! We had a DJ and a line dancing instructor who also brought 3 couples who were dancing among us to get everyone on the dance floor. It was great! Almost everyone participated in learning the line dancing moves! Here are some pictures from the night:

Ready to go dancing!

We brought in live bulls and a baby cow.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Introducing...Mohammad A-Angel! 

She actually really likes wearing this!

And this was us, waiting for Caleb to Skype today!

Happy Saturday!

XOXO

TGIF!

I got a chance to Skype with Caleb today. We had a long Skype date...what a blessing! I'm always so happy whenever I see him. It's crazy how fast time can go by and how slow it can feel at the same time.  My real estate classes seem to be flying by (midterm next week!), and yet this deployment is dragging even though we're on our last leg! A couple more months to go!!!! 

Must. Have. Stamina. 

Happy Friday to everyone! Enjoy the weekend! Angel and I went out for a walk this afternoon because the weather was amazing. Reminds me of perfect San Diego weather. We also found a secret path that leads straight to the beach here, so we walked about a mile down on the sand. 

Tonight I'm meeting a friend for dinner. Her husband is still deployed with Caleb so we're celebrating another week down before our men get home!

XOXO,

Nancy

My Protege

Angel does a remarkable job portraying her mommy! Here are three photos that capture so perfectly what this past week has been for me. 

Excited to study, study and study! 

Let's lay down for a moment, shall we? 

*snore* zzzzzzzzz....

good night all! 

One more class tomorrow, then I'm done for the week! 

Break time!

Taking a quick break from studying. I'm enjoying the class a lot. Our midterm is next Thursday (already!), so   any free time I have, I'll be using it to study. But, every studious student still needs a break! So, here's me and Angel sending some love your way! 

Spoiling her with kisses

We're watching an episode of Dog Whisperer together! She loves the show! 

Hugs and kisses. We love you! 

XOXO,
Angel and Nancy

My favorites

My service dog! Training her to hold stuff for me so that I don't have to carry everything. Hopefully, she can help me carry in some groceries soon!

Dress up time! Poor Angel, what she endures when I'm bored. =)

I love cuddling with her on the sofa. I used to be so against it, but it sure feels good to have a snuggle bunny when I'm alone at night! 

She is so precious. I just love her more each day. 

That's my Angel.
