Last Saturday night we had a fun bbq party in our backyard that we share with our neighbors, Nate & Ivette, and our good friends Kyle & Jen (and baby E) and their neighbors, who we have also become friends with, Jack & Antonia, and did some grillin’. That is, after I ran to Foster to get a new propane tank. 'Cuz you know that the ONLY time the propane tank runs out, is the time you are grilling with guests!! Amazingly, I was the only one who hadn't been drinking yet, so I got the nod. Now that is a first!! :)
There were kids. There were dogs. There was beer. There was amazing bbq chicken and ribs and other equally amazing food. There may or may not have been some Malibu Rum shots. It was sunny and a beautiful 70 degrees. All of our husbands were home – and not deployed – and at the same time! We had a great time drinking and eating and chatting... and just relaxing. FUn times!
That was last weekend. This weekend, two of the four husbands are gone and one of the couples has packing up their belongings to send halfway around the world in preparation for their upcoming move, which, have I mentioned, I am VERY SAD about?!? Such is life in the military – and so, we seize the day!

I always am so glad to hear how you all confide and enjoy each other so much. Helen loves living on base and having "HER" friends to share so much. They'll be in KS May 15th..so many have already left as this base is closing. It was so beautiful, big brick homes and lovely landscaping, walking, riding trails,golf and parks so close. His stuff has been packed over a month so they have nothing of their own til end of May that would drive me nuts.
