I must appologize for the lack of any good updates but life has been like a roller coaster here these past few weeks or so.
I have been working and teaching quite a bit lately and will actually be doing alot of the same during the holidays. Why you may ask?? Well both my students and I have gotten word that we have appointments to audition for

I could care less how I do this year - I am more excited for my girls to be performing!!!

My parents arrive next week for a much needed visit. The holidays this year are going to suck hard and since I am not celebrating Christmas until Pete is home in Jan my parents have a week and a half of fun things for us to do all planned out (in between my work and teaching of course).
On a very serious note.....
On a very HAPPY note....
PETE COMES HOME IN A MONTH!!!!!!
He got a roommate for the last month of his stay in Okinawa so that the unit he is with could make room for the unit coming in to replace them. Guess this means that he will be home as scheduled!! I think that we both are soooooo over this deployment that it isn't even funny. He has missed so much here already but he still has a month left to miss our anniversary, Christmas and New Years not to mention my parents visiting. The really sad and shocking thing is that my parents haven't seen him in person since our wedding or shortly there after anyways. Of course we do web cam conversations but it just isn't the same.
Thats all to report I guess - I don't want to bore you all with really boring details of my work crazy life
I hope everyone is doing well and since I am booked solid until at least next weekend I'll just say
Love you all my friends!!
hope you have a nice visit with mom & dad....
