CATCHING UP

So, I've been pretty busy lately and so much has been going on. I finally have a moment to sit back and take it all in. The biggest and best news is my wonderful husband has officially become part of the the United States Air Force. He's leaving in October for Basic Training which he will complete in Texas. I am so proud of him. It has taken him quite a while to figure out what he wanted to do with his career. He's had more jobs than I can count. He's always been good working with his hands and fixing things. So, I know this is a perfect fit. His job is a Tactical Air Craft Mechanic. So, he says he will be the guy inspecting everyone elses jobs and also working on the fighter jets. That is so my husband. I've never seen him more dedicated and excited about anything before.

More big news. Wendy, my younger sister, is engaged!!! It's so awesome. Jason, her fiance, is a great guy. Right now the wedding is scheduled for February 28, 2009. They will be getting married in the Oakland Temple. My parents are really excited too. The only sad part is my older sister, Janelle, lives in North Carolina right now. And she's not going to get to do much except show up for the wedding!

So many great things are happening for all of us. It's been quite a journey living back at home with my parents and sister. But let me tell you, now that I see it all coming to an end, I'm really sad to go. There's nothing I want more than for Joe and I to be able to go out and conquer the world on our own. But the thought of being away from the other people that I love is just tearing at my heartstrings.

All I want to do is spend every waking minute with people right now. Whether it's friends or family. I have to take it all in right now because the next 8 months are going to fly by. And then I don't know where we'll be or when we'll be able to come back home. I love this place. Escalon might be small. But since I'm related to half of the town, and have made wonderful friends with the other half. I can't picture my life without being here. Okay, I need to change subjects because I am getting too emotional right now. I guess that's just a testament to how much I love this place. It's not that exciting. Lots of cows and bugs. And the best pizza on the plannet. But it's home and I guess it always will be.

No big cakes lately. I did have a wedding cake scheduled but the lady cancelled on me. I have a few weddings coming up later in October. Hopefully those go through. I haven't made a cake in a while. It's my outlet. I just might have to show up with one on someone's doorstop with a special treat. My pizza parlor job is going good. My bosses are great. But, I'm ready for a change. I can only take so much of the drama that goes on there. But the people are really nice, and I get to be the one to tell everyone what to do. So, I guess it's not all that bad right now. Okay, got to go get ready. Going to get a much needed pedicure with my friend, Jane. Then out for sushi. Yum.
