10-24-09... the human race...

today i am out running the human race...

what are you up to???

yeah nike... i cant say enough how much i love this company and the amazing stuff they come up with... then pair them with apple and you get even more amazing things... = nike +... if you even mention it to me you will be stuck hearing all about how awesome it is... sorry to everyone who has already had to hear how much i love it... but you asked...

i guess the only thing that could make these two things become more amazing is if pinkberry somehow joined in on it all... i have no idea how that would ever work or happen... but those three together make me so very happy...

hope you have a great saturday...

love thursday... we have a home...

we just recently found out that we will be stationed at camp pendleton, california... we should be there for the remainder of brents four year contract = about 3.5 years... we are so excited to finally know where we are going and to know that we are going to such a cool place... who can say no to california... we love it there... now we just have to find a place to live... we should be all moved in by thanksgiving... words cannot explain or tell how very excited we are to finally we together as a family again... thank you to everyone that has helped us and thought of us in any way during the last 6, almost 7, months... thank you!

camp pendleton is just north of oceanside, ca and south of san clemente ca... the above picture is the pier of oceanside ca... it is said to be the longest pier on the west coast...

(thanks to ak1 for the great picture:google images search:oceanside)

six months... brent has been part of the usmc for six months

pumpkins and the park...

while brent was in town we also went to the park for some fun and eat our lunch... and of course where did we "have" to pick up our lunch... taco bell... black jack tacos... who loves that commercial... i was laughing so hard... i think it is funnier on the radio...

.....

pumpkin guts...

jones was so excited the other day when we went to the store and we saw pumpkins... i couldnt help myself and we had to buy not only a pumpkin but also a gourd... whenever i see them they make me so very happy!

i was so happy when jones shared that love with me... everyday he would get so excited when he would see the gourd that we bought...

(the little green/yellow pumpkin in jones' hands)

jones was telling us what our pumpkin says... ggrrrrraaaaaaaa...

yeah... we love halloween and are so excited...

happy halloween...

guess who came to visit...

brent...

and... although our time went by way too fast... we loved having brent surprise us and fly to mesa for the weekend...

(this was a picture of brent riding the road rally bikes with jones)

we went to schnepf farms... i had been planning on going there sometime before halloween... to take jones and have a good time... so when brent was here we had to go...

one of the best parts... we loved the hayride...

half way through the hayride it stops off where the deer are kept... so we bought some deer feed and fed them... our hayride driver gave us some lemon tree leaves to give them too... jones loved seeing them and feeding them... he was giggling so much!!!

we also loved the corn maze... jones was so funny... in awe of the whole thing... and everyone screaming and trying to scare each other... but dont be too scared that jones looks like dwight from the office... for some reason his hair loves to do that...

my most very favorite... when we got to the petting zoo... there were goats, ponies, sheep, pigs and a cow... we stopped by the goats first and they were attacking us... they knew that people meant food... this one kept ramming us and tried to eat all our feed... thankfully a worker there came in and brought a baby goat that was a lot more calm and fun to play with...

then our very favorite... jones went crazy!... as soon as we saw the sheep he went crazy saying "baaaaa... baaaaaa" really loud and over and over...

and of course the pumpkin patch...

thank you schnepf farms... we had such a great time!!!

warning for u2 fans... do not read any further...

i had a great time relaxing while i was waiting for brents libo...

i know my greatest picture right!?!?... gatta love french green clay mud masks... made by burts bees... made in north carolina...

my favorite part of our trip... i loved loved loved the opening band to our concert...

a few months ago i found out that muse would be opening for u2 in raleigh nc... so when we found out brent would be in jacksonville for school we just had to get tickets...

it was such a great concert...

they played all my favorites and even saved my most very favorite for the last song... so great!!!!

uprising... supermassive black holes... undisclosed desires... starlight and of course my favorite time is running out... plus a few more...

but... dont be mad that we left after three songs from u2 because after they played a beautiful day we didnt recognize anything... i wish i could have given our tickets to someone after watching muse...

me... in love... with muse...

we also went exploring... in swansboro we went to hammocks beach park... it was so pretty! this was one of my most favorite places... the picture below does not even do justice... but at least i got another picture of brent... he hates taking pictures... haha...

dont you just love spending time with your love...

then... i had to say goodbye to sexy hubby... sad day...

you know you are in the south when...

.... when you find a bojangles... which is now one of my new favorite places to go for chicken, biscuits, spicy beans and dirty rice... yum!!!!

.... when you see mullet festival signs everywhere...

... when there is almost half an aisle dedicated to grits in so many flavors that you did not even know exsisted... bacon and cheddar... ham... and so many more...

.... when you laugh so hard because you are actually stopping at a piggly wiggly like you are in the movie win a date with tad hamilton...

i love the south!

maybe i will get to know it better... brent graduates the 6th of november from his mos schooling... then we will be moving somewhere in the united states... we still have no idea where that may be... but hope to find out in about 3 weeks...

i had such a great time visiting brent in north carolina!!!!

thanks to everyone who helped us out with jones... he had such a great time with everyone he stayed with!!!

happy conference viewing...

hope everyone enjoys conference... and have a great weekend...

my grandparents were in town... so to tia rosas we went... that is one of their loves... always good to see you guys!!! love you both!!!
