my last trip to Sheppard AFB!

As MckMama sometimes says, I hope this post doesn't make your retinas bleed. For real.
(or make your computer freak out and freeze!)

I had no Internet connection this time around, so that's why I've been MIA. Sorry about that. But now I'm (sadly) home, so I'm all set to give y'all some highlights!


Had a rocky flight but landed safely.
Got stuck with an ugly Mazda minivan thing.
Craved guacamole like a 9-month preggo chick.
Made husband go get guacamole with me.
Ate guacamole.
Became cuddlers-extraordinare.
Got "stuck" in TLF (temp living facility).
Had an oven and a dishwasher. Didn't use either.
Drove around base and saw Mark's poles.
Snapped loads of pictures of hubby with planes.
Ate a nasty 4th of July lunch at the dining facility with my AF Wives group.
Paid $2 to swim at the super-cool base pool.
Didn't watch where I was going and fell on my hands and knees on the concrete.
In front of everyone.
Got 2 huuuge gashes on my knees and almost cried on Mark's shoulder.
Went to Lucy Park in search of the water falls.
Didn't find them, so we had a photo session instead.
Drove to the local fireworks show.
It was rained out, to no surprise.
Ate a second meal at Jack in the Box with AF wives & hubbies.
Because eating fast food on our nation's birthday is the patriotic thing to do. Trust me.
Went to Cracker Barrel and ate a freakin ton of food.
Munched on Mark's pancakes. Marveled at how delicious they were.
Cuddled a ton more in-between all this.
Took naps.
Went to the Olive Garden with the AF wives group. and husbands!
Ate calamari with hubby and racked up another big bill.
Asked hubby to iron my shirt while I got ready.
Tried again to find the water fall.
Found it. Took pictures. Kissed a bunch!
Played ping pong with hubby just like the good old days.
Realized I still had it in me, even though I haven't played in over a year!
Insisted that we get his ABUs so I can dress up like him.
Put on the ABUs and posed for the camera.
Ate Mexican food 3 times in 4 days.
Ate a ton of food in 4 days.
Gained 4lbs in 4 days.
Kissed Mark goodbye at the hotel.
Cried after him when he left.
Got woken up at 4am by a loud bang.
Stayed up and walked to meet him at 520am.
Ate Cocoa Krispies at the crack of dawn with my man.
Cried some during breakfast.
Walked outside with him and sobbed in his uniform.
Wiped my nose in his uniform.
And said goodbye.
But only for 50 days.
:]



It was the best weekend ever! In case you can't tell by my little summary of the weekend, we had loads of fun! In-between the knee scrapes, crying, and sleepless nights! Now I know you all want pictures! Keep in mind that there are 200 pictures on Facebook, so truck on over and see all of them there!









So there you have it! And, like I said, we only have FIFTY DAYS to go! I better start putting my party planning into 5th gear! That's 7 weekends to go. Hopefully it will "fly by" - but please don't tell me that it will. Because it probably won't. It's inching by for us. But this weekend was like dream for us. It was PERFECT! I can't wait to pick him up at the airport on August 26th. Now that will be exciting!!!

And our new (and final) countdown begins. It's only 25x2. or 5x10. We can do it!
