Well, it's been far too long since we've updated, I know. But we've been busy!
Andrew's status is pretty much the same. He's still at Corregidor even though we've been on a "yes he is, no he's not" rollercoaster concerning if and when he heads back to the big camp. The Navy guys who were providing the free wifi have now moved out permanently, which means no more internet. Andrew and his roommate have tried every possible angle and idea to get internet to their room again... I mean, really. Guys with that many satellite dishes on their roof should have access to some sort of connectivity! But no. This is the Army, so it doesn't make a lick of sense.
Instead, he's had to find his way to the internet cafe of sorts and get online after his shift to check email real quick and usually update his Facebook. No webcam. I've missed seeing his face! It's been about a week since we've been able to hang out online together. We're learning to just set phone times and work with what we have.
He's had a few adventures that required him to leave the boring normalcy of his "cave," which he considers fun! Practicing his translating skills and working on his Iraqi dialect are both challenges that he loves to tackle.
I've been busy with Beauty and the Beast dress rehearsals and performances. The four shows this weekend really went off without a hitch! Four more this next weekend...
Today is Jenny's birthday and we're having a big outdoor bbq party at Mom and Dad's tonight. Today also brings us to the 6-month mark since Andrew left. Tomorrow is Andrew's and my FIRST ANNIVERSARY. It truly is amazing that it's been one year since we said "I do."
He's coming home in just 10 weeks!

You said it, girl! It's been way too long for an update. :-)...I just wanted to say it has been so great to have you be a part of our church family here at WBC. You guys have always had a special place in our hearts since our first Mexico trip and it's been fun to get to know you a little better at least through these blogs! We've been on vacation and get back to reality "tomorrow". Can't wait to see the play. Happy Anniversary to you both! Soon, your honey will be home in your arms!
It was a GREAT barbeque/birthday party. We didn't get home until 12:30 or so and the kids still talked halfway home telling us of their favorite part.
We are still thinking of you and Andrew lots and praying for you for safety and... Anyways, good job 'hanging in there'. It was great to see you again.
