random thought

so a long time ago a very good friend of mind posted about the verification words that you have to type to add a comment and how she always tries to guess the word that it is or what it would mean if it is a word. i love it, cracked me up, so here is one i got today and it made me smile.

Aaron's Fall Deployment

So even though aaron has already come home and gone back out i thought i would put up some pictures from his deployment last fall

Aaron and His friend Greg got to go on one of the Helicopters, Im not sure why but they took some pretty funny pics

They had a huge Thanksgiving dinner on the ship. Aaron is the FSO, Food Service Officer, and one of his jobs is to be over all of the cooks and food preparation of the ship. He makes sure they always have all the food that they need on the ship. In the picture with him is the CO of the ship and the XO cutting the cake as well as the SUPPO, Aaron's department head.

Hard at work...isn't he cute!

Well it has been a busy two months for us. Aaron was able to come home for a week over thanksgiving. it was a much needed break after three months apart. we all went to huis ten bosch to see the christmas lights. then in december aaron was finally able to come home. a four month deployment! it is soooo nice to have him home again. they had a nice big homecoming for the ship but sadly it was the first day it snowed so it had to be cut short so everyone could get out of the cold. since then we have just been sightseeing. My mom and kyler came and visited us for ten days around new years and that was really fun. Mostly we are just trying to enjoy family as much as possible! Mia is getting so big and has started to walk while holding on to things. she can also say a few words including "aj" her best bud. Aj is such a good littler helper and ask Aaron all day everyday "Aj help daddy?" he just loves to do anything with aaron, fixing things, cleaning, dishes you name it if its with daddy he loves it!

I got that christmas tree from main base to my house, up the elevator, and all put together all by myself! the security guard downstairs thought i was very weird to be carrying an 6' half dead tree to my house.
