Time is not on my side

Tonight I spent 2.5 hours shaving Daniel's favorite sweatshirt. For some reason about 2 months ago we got possessed to wash a mirco-fiber plush cream blanket with 2 of Daniel's hoodies, which resulted in me in front of the T.V. with my fine toothed dog brush, masking tape roller and my venus razor going to town on that ONE hoodie. After 2 hours I figured the other one can wait, he will hopefully not need both in Texas! AHHH

Daniel UPDATE

Daniel just called we talked for about 20 minutes, he is doing great!

He said everyone loves him (cocky?) he has lots of friends and one from Pocatello

so I guess they chat about Idaho all the time... no wonder everyone loves him HA!

He said it's pretty easy, his TI took his flight to the "snack bar/vending machine"

He bought a Soda and 4 candy bars.... wow 4? you don't want to

over do it!

But he got super sick after that... umm really? Shocking!

We have 20 days left, wacky! it has gone by so fast, and it's nearly done, YEAH!

Today I went to Pocatello and got my Military ID, it's official

I'm a spouse of an Airmen.

As I was moving some stuff today long story short, I'm pretty sure I broke my

PINKY

Black in spots

Ouch, I can't move it and it really is awkward to type!

LONG

Yesterday I had a fabulous day! For starters I had an

INTERVIEW

with a Wells Fargo in Texas

it went well I start on

DECEMBER 1st

Wacky that I am moving and Daniel is there and I have a house here, and

2 DOGS

and a job in Texas but nowhere to live there yet. Wow!!! Some say this is what I signed up for, who really knows? The day before

YESTERDAY I sold Daniel's car to this great kid who just got off his

MISSION from Chile. While I was out and about yesterday, I went shopping BARGAIN shopping (that's the only kind of shopping I do) I found some

KILLER SALES

first to downeast to look for jeans for my honey, they were all sold out but I found a

J. Crew TIE for $2.00 and an AE laptop bag for $1.25

Sweet huh? then to Big 5 I bought some running shoes which are too fantastic and too clean and too beautiful to taint them with the outside! So I wore my old ones when I went tonight, WHATEVER! I have been looking for the right pair for my chubby feet for about 1 year now, store after store disappointment after

DISAPPOINTMENT , I found some I tried them on and it's like my foot was singing wow they are nice, and being as I used to work there I got everything for like half off, ROCKS. I also bought Daniel his favorite running shoes, he tried them on and fell in love but alas we walked away so now he compairs every shoe to those! I'm going to save them for Christmas I think.

ROSS was my next VICTIM

I found Daniel a dress shirt and a black zipper tie (he loves those for the TEMPLE, easy on easy off) He is gonna love this Christmas! And a fantastic pair of black closed toe heels, (also on the prawl for years) Straight black, I love them they are Steve Madden and PERFECT well aside from the slight TOE CLEAVAGE.... anyway

Daniel is going to be so excited to see my great finds.

WALMART

lots of dog treats, food and bones. Life is pretty swell, I miss Daniel and as long as he is away I will do so!

I got a letter from Robert C. Oaks of The Seventy

just to say thank you for my selflessness and that we will be blessed, he was very nice!

He said he has contacted the Bishop at Lackland AFB to make sure he takes care of Daniel, it was very nice to hear.

26 MORE SLEEPS

Finally it's happened to me....

So this is my honey in Basic Training.... I have been meaning to write but nothing seemed to come to my head, and the emotions I have about Daniel being gone are strong and very personnal. Daniel has been gone since October 7th and that pretty much was the last time we talked. And I was so worried about the whole shaved head thing like I would be all freaked out or something.... wrong-o- I think he looks great! Wowee. Everyday I write him a little more and the first letter/book was 11 pages and the second one was 7 pages, and this one I'm working on is 2.5 pages! I write him when I wake up, get home from work and then right before I go to bed. I try not to change the things we did daily, so he kinda knows what's going on with me.... Sunday's are the perspective calling days so I thought, well after another Sunday came and went with no phone call I started to get a little sad. Today was a hard day for me. I have received nothing from him no letters or anything. (except a STRICT 2 minute brief of his address) For some reason today as I was getting ready to put my cash drawer away I had this feeling to turn on the ringer on my celly, just then I was in the back room and I heard my phone ring which as popular as one thinks I am.... IT NEVER RINGS. I ran and answered it.... ahhh TEXAS was calling me... and my sweet honeys voice on the other end, on a random Tuesday!!!! HALELUA I was dying! He said I got a 10 minute phone call which they call "patio time" he had the cleanest locker (rock on)!!! Our phone call lasted 14 minutes and 32 seconds, it was AWESOME. I love talking to him, we laughed we cried it was fantastic. I was able to ask him all the questions I was dying to.

He is doing great, he said "guess how much I weigh?" 201!!!! PUKE guess that means I'll be UP IN THE GYM JUST WORKIN ON MY FITNESS.... He was sick and has been sick since 3 days after he got there, so that mixed with him being hoarse from yelling I couldn't really recognize his voice.... unless he laughed or said some key Daniel lines. He said "his voice was wacked out!" He said that he is good and shhhh.... but it's all pretty easy. But you know he is 27 and has had life expreiences and Daniel has been working his butt off for this, so he is pretty much in shape already. He even said he has only been yelled at 3 times... ONLY! Not bad I guess. well only 4 weeks left and we just can't wait!!!! He sounds happy and he has written me 3 letters... YEAH I can't wait. He said he has to sneak them because phone calls and letter writing are considered "PRIVELEGES" I just can't wait!

Safety

Today marks day 5 of my days without my honey. Monday we went to Butte Montana (which is a pretty neat town) lots of old buildings and houses but not much for food and stuff. Monday night all I wanted was a Jamba Juice or some sort of fresh fruit smoothie, we drove all over that stinkin town and nothing, I finally asked someone and I was told that the mall had smoothies so we track down the mall, go inside, find the deli thing which did have smoothies! yes finally We were dying for one! We get to the counter and I ask the girl if they had smoothies and her reply was "can I be honest with you? they are made with fresh fruit but they have lots of sugar in them!!!" "but I can still make you one?" our response umm no that's okay see ya. My honey is a saint to deal with me sometimes, all that hunt for a delicious smoothie and now all we found was fruit flavored sugar. Daniel was a little offended we couldn't figure out if she was too lazy to make them or she was helping us watch our figures, well either way we went to Taco Hell and got some pintos & cheese which Daniel had never had, and is brilliant!

This may seem strange to those of you who aren't dog people but proceed.... before Daniel left he sat our dogs down, looked then in the eyes and gave them a "be good and protect mom talk" He told them that every night when I wash my face to hang out by me because I always get scared and Daniel always stayed in the bathroom with me with his hand on my back so I knew he was there, Now Teddy lays in the bathroom wiht me nightly and they have really been good dogs even though I'm sure they are sad that daddy left it's really like they know they need to PROTECT me. I love it.

I hadn't heard anything from my honey since Tuesday when he got to Basic, but tonight The Missionaries at the AFB he is at called me to say that my husband is doing great, and they are sending me pictures and stuff. His contact with the outside world is limited so they make it more possible to keep in touch. Happy sabbath! That is what I needed, just any word and THEY SAW HIM!!!! Im excited again, scared about life but excited. It's wacky that I am a Military wife, it doesn't feel real. I'm super excited to see him in his uniform! They had 16 members at church today there at basic! They had a Fast & Testimony meeting, which I would have loved to be a fly on the wall there! WOW!!! I love this Gospel what a blessing it is to have it in our lives, it's our unshakable bond!

LAST WEDNESDAY TRAINING

Daniel had his going away party at the Fire Station on Wednesday it was wonderful! I didn't even have to host it which makes it that much better. I t was a little strange because everyone was there for HIM! He/we felt a little uncomfortable because some of the guys are like brand new so they don't really know him. Anyway it was great. We had these huge steaks, hashbrowns, salad, coleslaw and cake.

Left is Lieutenant Scott McGuire, Captain Mark Henderson, Daniel Morgan

Chief Steve Johnson, and Asst. Chief Scott Norman

Every Wednesday night at 7 pm since April 2006 Daniel has gone to fire training at the Fire Station here. He has been a volunteer Firemen and loves it, he loves to serve!

That night these 4 gentlemen told stories of Daniel and why they were so fortunate in

having him on the Department. They all even said if they were ever trapped in a house that they would want Daniel to come in after them. They call him HOSS or OX in the Department and for

GOOD reason! he can pack anyone around. He is going to miss them. It was sweet to see grown men cry.

Women always dap the tears and MEN rub their eyes( don't they know that can cause wrinkles) ha, one guy we call BULL said "Honey check if there is something in there it just KEEPS watering" It was a great night filled with lots of support. Everyone there has offered to help if I need them, and they said they would drive by my house just to check on me which I need so GREAT.

Daniel cutting his cake in GINORMOUS peices. YUM store bought generally not my favorite but it was marble with raspberry filling and sweet sweet frosting.

I thought it was beautiful and they even set off his pager and paged everyone who wasn't there to come and wish him luck as he goes off to the USAF.

This pic isn't my favorite but I wanted to put us on here. I'm sitting on his lap and I look like a huge monster on him but I PROMISE he is bigger than me, not by much but still he IS BIGGER!!!
