So I know I have been a little MIA from blog writing but it's not because I have nothing to blog about. The facts are... I have been crazy busy.

So for starters...I AM IN DENVER! Whooo crazy I know, but hey sometimes you just need to be with your mom...and dad...and crazy tall brother...two more dogs(Baxter and Buddy)... and great, I mean GREAT childhood friends (Emily and Brittany)!! Needless to say, I am constantly surrounded by loving family and friends! Just what the doctor ordered!

So what has Denver brought in the two days that I have been here? Well unpacking and the re-hanging of the deployment chain! It's getting shorter! Thank God! It has been pretty cold here in Denver. Which I love! Nothing like slipping into my Uggs and taking all THREE dogs to the dog park! Fyi Ranger and Baxter are getting along soooo well and Buddy well he is so old I am pretty sure that he is happy to have someone else play with Baxter all day!

Mother/Daughter workouts are up and running...well walking right now. You wouldn't believe how much this altitude really will effect you. I will take some pictures tomorrow of our walking trail. It is so beautiful it really makes working out nice and enjoyable.

Tonight should be nice and low key. Dad will head out tomorrow to London to play the 49ers...yeah just found out about this on Monday or I so would have found some way to sneak onto his flight! Steve has his last regular season game tomorrow night. I am extremely excited about getting to see him play. Sad but true, I have never been able to watch him play high school football! I mean look at this stud...

In the 10th Year of War, a Harder Army, a More Distant America

I read this article and thought I would share with everyone. It's long but thought it was worth sharing...

Happy Tuesday....

Oh yeah and tomorrow we are going to break through 100 days left until January! Whooo Hoooo!

WDEngagement

It's official! Hannah and Josh are engaged and as I like to coin the weekend as " War Damn Engagement!" For those of you who aren't from Alabama, WAR EAGLE is our Battle Cry! Read here for the full story! Anyway, lots of speculation was going on if Josh would propose this weekend or not. Reasons why it was the best weekend for Josh to ask Hannah to marry him ever....

1. Auburn and Clemson played for the first time since 2007. Hannah is an Auburn graduate and Josh is a Clemson alumni. Auburn and Clemson played a great game and AUBURN WON!

2. Hannah Warren...soon to be Chapman...LOVES football. Living with Hannah for officially two years and unofficially four, Hannah would wake up every Saturday morning to watch College Game Day. She can spit out Auburn Football history like it is her job. She loves Auburn football and college football in general.

3. All of Hannah and Josh's family were in town "for the game" and the weekend included a engagement party tailgate.

4. The last and the best is that Hannah was completely surprised! Josh really talked it up that it wasn't happening until next spring...needless to say..Hannah believed him!

I love these two and truly can say that they were made for each other. Congratulations you two!
