MY HANDSOME HUSBAND!!!!!

Here are a few quick pics that we took the other night!!! I am so proud of Armando.... He always looks handsome to me and I'm always proud of everything he is and does, but when I saw him in his new Dress Blues I WAS SO PROUD of what he's done and what he stands for!!!!!! I am so thankful and feel so blessed to be able to call myself his wife!

Quick update!

Yesterday I played the NOS sweepstakes and couldn't believe what I won.....

A NOS BARREL COOLER!!! HAHAHA I have no clue where we are gonna put it once it arrives!?! It surely was worth playing, it gave Armando and I a big laugh! I always won a 3 month subscription to Club POGO! That'll be fun Armando and I love playing games!

On another note, Armando had to go do the Manitou Incline for PT yesterday morning! He left the house around 3:30 AM! He did it and I was very proud of him as he hasn't been doing alot of PT (due to his shoulders) like the other guys, and also the altitude is bad enough for us when not excercising! He had a hard time, but he did it!!!!!!

It is very steep! You gain about 2000 ft. in elevation! The steps are made from Old Railroad ties!!!! Some very hig and far apart, others close together! It is a mile long up the mountain! I am going to include an old picture that will show you how far he climbed!!!!

We took a few pictures of Armando very quickly the other night of his Dress Blues... I will add those in a bit when I get them off of my camera! We're gonna take more later!

That's all for now! I have a busy day! Take Care!!

Finally..... an update!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have had trouble with my laptop. After trying to figure out what the problem was, I eventually had to dump the hard drive and start over! I should post more often now that it is back in tip top condition! Life is good here in Colorado Springs! The weather is starting to be VERY nice! Warm days complimented with a nice cool breeze, and chilly nights!!! It's nice to be able to wear a light jacket or some nights even a hoodie when going out compared to the hot Texas heat! Armando just finished 10 days of TDY (leave from work)! He went back to work yesterday on a regular schedule for the first time since returning from Iraq! I wouldn't take back all of the time we have had to spend together for anything! I've had so much fun!!!

Friday night, he suprised me with a sunset dinner on the mountainside looking over at Pikes Peak and the other surrounding mountains! He cooked dinner and packed it up neatly and everything but forgot plates! ;) Thats okay, we just ate out of the containers! lol It was lots of fun! We ended the night with Baskin Robbins, which is always a plus! ;)

The house is starting to look much better! We just need to build some shelves for the extra bedroom so that we have some places to store my scrapbooking stuff.... Army stuff ...etc.

We had 19 people over one day and grilled out! It was nice to meet some of the other wives, although I was busy in the kitchen most of the time! We way overcooked! lol I would rather have too much than not enough though! I think everyone had a good time and got full and that's all that matters! I got to see Lace and Lily which was nice they came over and stayed a long time!

ALso there were 2 new additions to our extended family this past week!!! Cayden Ace McCracken (Josh and Nicole's baby boy) and Mikaylia (Aydree & Matt had thier little girl)! Oh and today, little Cloie(sp?) will come into the world!!! (Dean & Cody's baby!) We wish all of them the best!!!!!

That's about it for now! I have some chores to do around the house, then when Armando gets home from work, we get to go pick up his new Class A's! They are no longer Dress Greens, now... they are Dress Blues! We will be taking pictures this afternoon, so I'll be sure to post some of his new pics up soon!!!

Take care! We love you guys! Keep in touch!

(Excited about October... MY MOM IS COMING!!!!!) *fingers crossed*

Glory to God!!! <><
