Can't Keep Up

So my friend who has like a million kids can keep up with blogging but me and my uno child can't seem to find time. Actually I am exhausted! We have been doing so much lately, plus our desktop hard drive crashed and I lost all my pics! So I am on the laptop downstairs trying to update my post! We had a great Xmas and I will certainly be sharing pics soon! My friend Kern got engaged!! WOO HOO about daggone time!! So I will have to drink in her honor!

Hunter was really spoiled this Christmas he got so much! Kota the triceratops, a sit and spin, clothes, view finder, 3, yes 3 pirate ships, 2 memory games, an easel, cars, cars and more cars, a leapfrog alphabet toy, movies, books, did I mention a pirate ship???? I will post pics later!!

Hunter and I joined our friends for a Christmas Party today! We had a blast. Hunter visited Santa and got a book and a monster truck from Santa! We (I) ate yummy food and then we did crafts and had an ornament exchange. I had my ornament stolen a few times, but got a great on in the end. (we did like a chinese christmas, where you can steal others ornaments!) We had some yummy dessert and then headed home. Hunter graced me with a small one hour nap, I guess its better than nothing!

Our 5th Wedding Anniversary

Rusty and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary yesterday! We cleaned the house and then headed over to Williamsburg to take Hunter to see Santa at the Yankee Candle store! We met my MIL there and she took Hunter back to our house. We went to Target and then to Red Lobster for dinner. For dessert we hit up Dairy Queen and got what Rusty calls a dip top! We are so ritzy!!
Anyway we have experienced so much in these past 5 years some good and some bad. Here is a recap our our first 5 years together!
1st year-we moved to Charleston ,SC! What a huge change! We also lost Rusty's father that year. It was hard being newlyweds, living 6 hrs from family and having your father pass away.
2nd year-found out we were expecting our baby boy!
3rd year- Hunter graced our lives!
4th year- bought our first house!!! and moved back to VA
5th year- we are getting ready to face our first deployment!
What will the next 5 years bring?????
