well we are a week down of matt being gone.. its been a decent week.. better than anticipated.. yesterday was the hardest yet as it was matts birthday and I was just thinking about him a lot but we are a week closer to getting him back. he is doing good over there and yesterday they had a little get together for him so he enjoyed that. he says that the weather is warm and humid (not too hot) and he works evenings so he has the better part of the day to work..
the kids are doing good.. ally is going through some mean spree where she is being mean to trevor and kids she knows well.. i dont want to be too hard on her b/c i think it is due to matt leaving and the change but hopefully i will get her to stop.

we have been staying busy so that has helped pass the time and i am working on the prep work to paint the kids bathroom. i havent gotten around to sewing any except to make ally's halloween costume (flower fairy) and i will be making trevs this weekend probably. he is going to be a mummy...

luckily i have a friend whose fiance is over there with matt so we are trying to support each other through this..

thats all for now
