Busy weekend

Its been a busy weekend for us. Yesterday James and I had our heated stone massages. It was wonderful and SO relaxing. I think we'll get them again before he leaves. Then we had a kids' birthday party which ended up being a late niter for the adults. I had to come home around 10 to put the kids to bed and study. James rolled in around 1:30. We all had fun though.

Today I did more studying and then we went to the mall for a bit. I bought Kylee a DS game. Its a My Little Pony game called Pinkie Pies birthday. She really likes it and does so well with it. We also had to buy Wyatt a new winter jacket. The one he has now is way to snug. We bought him one that was on sale (since companies seem to think Winter stuff is not needed this time of year.) But it should fit him for most of next winter as well. It has a fleece liner that can come out and be a light weight jacket, so he'll be able to use it for the next year.

I have to study for a biology test tonight. I'm really nervous about it cause Laura already took it and had a really hard time with it. I have an 88% now in that class and hope to at least keep it the same after this test. Hopefully my average will go up though.... we'll see in a few hours.

One of our friends, Elizabeth (Kylee's teacher) is sending her husband off to Iraq tomorrow. Well, she's not sending him off, but seeing him go rather. He'll be gone for 7 months. She has a brain aneurysm and is really nervous about him being gone. She fears the worst for her and him. So, please just keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

James has been slowly getting his stuff ready for deployment. He got half of his uniforms the other day. It still seems so unreal that he's actually going AGAIN. I sort of wish we had short notice for this deployment like we did last time. It somehow seems easier... I'm only dreading him leaving for a few weeks to a month. But this time we are dreading it for several months.
