It's about time!

Well, I guess I should probably do some updates on this blog since it has been almost 2 months since I've written anything. Well, I guess a lot has happened since I last blogged. Probably the most notable is my baby is walking. She took her first steps on December 9th, and then the Monday we got back from the Christmas holidays (Dec. 29th), she just took off. I walked to another room and I noticed she just kept following me. I kept expecting for her to fall after 7 or 8 steps like usual, but it was step after step and she just kept going. Needless to say, now she is practically a pro at walking and therefore she gets in to everything. Raegan has also produced several new teeth. She now has her four top front teeth, her two front bottom teeth. She also has 3 molars, and her fourth is breaking through, as well as another front bottom tooth. As you can guess, all of this leads to a lot of drooling.

As for Justin and I, we have been busy as well. I moved back to my old position at work, and Justin got IP of the quarter for the squadron in December. We spent the holidays with both families and it was great seeing everyone. Last weekend I went on a girls weekend to Fort Worth. I went with several of the squadron spouses whom I also do a bible study with. We went shopping in Southlake, ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, dinner at Joe T Garcia's, and then we went out to some of the bars in Sundance Square. I had so much fun with these ladies, and I'm getting pretty sad, because soon a few of them will start moving away. I knew the day would come eventually, but with this being our first assignment, this is our first experience with friends parting.

This weekend Justin and I will celebrate Valentine's Day early in Arlington since he will be leaving for a 10 day deployment with IFF to Las Vegas. I told him that they needed to change the name of it because deployment makes it sound like something miserable, like going to the desert for war or something. It does not conjur up images of partying Las Vegas style. So, since he will be gone during Valentine's Day, we are going to Simply Fondue (one of our favorite fun restaurants to go to) a week early. Then my parents will come and visit Valentine's weekend to keep me company.

In the next few postings, I will put up some pictures that I have missed for the past 2 months.
