It's a Blustery Day

I love days like today. It is cold, rainy and windy. It is the perfect day for homemade soup and delicious chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven. The girls and I were home by ourselves so we decided to bake. They were such great little helpers. Each taking turns pouring stuff in the bowl and stirring. There were many sneaky little bites of the dough as well. Em was trying everything from the brown sugar, flour and even licked some egg off her hand. (yuck!) They watched the cookies baking in the oven and were eager to have one after lunch.

Zachary update~ I have received 2 letters from Zachary but no phone call yet. I really really want to hear his voice. He is very homesick so please keep him in your prayers. He was able to go to church the last 2 Sunday's and that lifted his spirits. He is the AROC for his division. Not sure what that stands for but he sings the cadence while marching. His RDC's told him that he has a great voice and that has helped build his self esteem a little. He also got the "position" of dental Yeoman. He likes it because each evening he gets to take a 20 minute walk to the dental office to do some paper work. He said that it is 20 minutes that no one is yelling at him. We are down to one month from today until we see him. We have all our tickets booked and I can hardly wait to see my Sailor!!!! What a wonderful day that will be!!!
