PARIS

hey all! I am writing from Paris...Pictures are to come. It is fabulous here, I can't believe things that I see. The research that I did before and then being here makes me want to research a ton more. It absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love it. I wish my husband could be here with me. I can't wait to come home, because i am having a hard time sleeping however I am very excited to be here fora few more days. Love you all hope thigns are well.

So...

Ofcourse times are changing and plans with the Hayes' will always change! We are "tumbleweeds" hahaha thats what my dad calls us. I just don't think Shane is staying in. We just can't get things lined up right and it makes me think... I am watching the real world and ryan got called back- yes this sounds stupid but its a great fear that Shane will have to go back....they say that they don't need his job right now but whos to say that he won't be called back in a year from now just as we settle into our life as a family here. I guess it all got me thinking because his buddy got hurt this past week in a fire fight they were in...Shane is okay but I just want him home it kills me.
Work is going good, FINALLY up to full time. I enjoy the kids I work with and continue to enjoy my job.
Paris with my Mom and Aunt Sheri is in less then 10 days.... I can't believe it.
I miss my baby and I wish he was here.... 4.5ish months.....I hope.
Hope all is well with everyone.

TOOO LONG

So its been forever...sorry. This past weekend was the flu... Now I know why I always recieved a flew shot every single year. I mangaged to catch it early and was back at work after 3 days...maybe a little early but in Shane's words he needs a "Suga Mama!" HAHAHA I laughed so hard when he told me that.
Shane is thinking about staying in again...going special ops or EOD (Explosive ordinal device) yeah he would play with bombs for the second one! We are working on coming to an educated final decision and the way that I see it, is that it will come down to the end and we will decide, each decision carries a lot of baggage.
Michelle and Brian moved into their new house...WHICH IS OH SO FUN!! I love it. There is TONS of un packing to do but I am very happy for them.
Work is amazing, each week I am constantly reminded that this is right where I need to be. I work with really amazing people that I know I needed in my life right now for a reason. They are so helpful and its just such a relief and a blessing to be working and helping other people. My job is never the same from day to day and it is ALWAYS changing- which is perfect for me so that I do not get bored with it its constantly challenging me to do more.
I am looking to buying a new car right now which is scary- I have never done that before. However I am very excited, I'm truely becoming an adult and taking a hold of my future. I can not wait for what my life has to hold this year, there have been soo many changes just in the last 6 months...its just crazy, I can't wait. I can't wait for when Shane can come home and the great things that are to come. He has given so much so that I can live and have everything that I need and even some things that I don't! I am very blessed and thankful for that! He does so much and I hope he understands how much I am thankful for it!
Hope everyone is healthy and happy. Be thankful what you have...always focus on the positives....love to you all

Shane called again....

I think Shane could tell my heart stopped when I heard that. I guess there is a point where I realize he is in a combat zone, however I do not enjoy it right in my face. He called this morning though and made sure I was ok and to let me know he was still ok. It was really nice to talk to him again, should hear from him again in a few days. He is so strong......I am glad I married such a strong man. He is making plans for our future so that is good! He can't wait to come home, now I just need to plan a vacation for the two of us and keep working a lot and saving money! We are doing pretty good at that!!So we have some positives to look at he is over the half way point in Afghanistan so they say. He then has about 3 weeks of classes in Okinawa before he can come home to me....which will be a pain in the butt but well worth the wait. So we are not looking for him to be home more like end of July/beginning of August!!
I am at Shane's parents house watching their dog. Which now i realize how much work puppies are so I am not thinking that we are going to have one for some time now or atleast until Shane comes home so that he can watch the little guy!!
Tonight Grandma is having her dad and her two brothers and their wives over for dinner!! We made spice cake and Shane loves spice cake!! So I am kind of excited!! Grandma and Grandpa Morgan took me to The Cellar it has to be Idaho Falls' best restaurant....I am in LOVE with it. I had a Pork Chop stuffed with ham and gouda cheese! It was soooo good. It was for Shane's birthday! They are sooo sweet.
I guess you just always have to look on the positive side of things when things get a little rough. Shane is tougher then I am and he is ok. So I again just need to trust in him and his guys that they will keep each other safe.
Hope all is well with everyone!

bombs

i hate bombs can i tell you this...especially when they are going off when I am talking to my husband. Even though he warned me, I still immidiatly went to tears....tried to hide it and did fairly well at it....he is in a panic almost asking me if i am ok....cause i won't answer him and he knows that it will freak me out. But he made me say ok, and told me he loved me and i told him i loved him and he said he'd call tonight...today was his birthday....so thats good. He was happy....however i am paranoid to the most extreme but he is good at what he does and has a good group of guys with him and thats all i can rely on. I miss him....

Small update

Vday was as good as it could be. I worked all day and then went home! Sunday I made dinner for Shane's family, so now they are starting to see that I really can cook! I also made a carmel chocolate cake! IT WAS GREAT!

Work is going well...I absolutely love it. I drive a lot and I do not enjoy the weather but I am doing well this year.

Shane should be calling in a few days, I miss him But he is doing well.

Hope all is well with everyone!
