Pictures from Africa

I did it! I was finally able to upload a few pictures that Chris sent me from Africa! He is doing good missing home but work and the other marines tend to keep him busy. The first picture is of Chris in the watch tower I believe. The second one is of him and I probably will get his name wrong but i think that is Sargent Dike sitting next to Chris on a military truck. ( sorry if I got the wrong guy. There's just too many of you guys but im trying) Oh im not sure why Chris is the only one all decked out in his gear? He's probably just playing it safe which I appreciate so much! Oh and the last one is a picture that Chris took of smoke coming from a village not too far from base burning all their trash and dead animals. For those who have been to a third world country you'll know that most cities and villages dont have garbage services and most of the luxurys that we are so blessed with, so the best way for people tp get rid of all their trash and dead is to burn it. Chris says it reaks really bad. (Can you imagine espically if they are burning dead animals). Just remember to take the time to thankful for all the everyday things we take for granted like running water, a/c, your education and home you live in. Life really isnt that bad espically for us. Oh and Chris says hi everyone!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Tanner & Crystal Muntz

Last Thursday Tannher and Crystal was married in the Mesa, Arizona Temple! I can't believe it, and Crystal looks so beautiful in her dress! Oh ya I guess Tanner cleaned up pretty good ( im kidding he looks so handsom). Oh and they had such an amazing cake that i had to take a picture of it too. I should totally try to make one like that, one of these days that is. Well Congrats and thanks for finally joinin the married group. We love you guys and are so happy for the two of you!

Six Months! only three more to go

Oky ao this is chubby me at six months scratching the heck out of my tummy cause I itch like its the end of the world! That and Bailey is kicking like crazy and she hates it when I scratch, that doesn't make me a bad person for scratching when i've been told not too right? Any ways my sister caught me in the act and I thought i looked as if i was going to scratch myself to death, but its okay cuz it felt good.

Africa!

So Saturday I received a package from Chris. Let me tell you I was super excited to open it as soon as my little brother said "this box says its from Africa" I ran across the kitchen nearly fell and snatched it out of his hands and ripped the box open like a crazy women. I got a a few CD's and his old camcorder that broke and a memory car filled with pictures. He's missing home but is doing well. Ill have to post a few of the pictures on the blog so that you guys can see how much fun he's been having (okay not really he says its pretty boring). Oh and he sent me a t shirt that say Djibouti (yes its pronounced ja-booty for those who dont know where exactly he's at) and it fits perfect! I think he'll have to send more cuz my little brothers think thats its a shirt to share. Everyone is missing him at the house and when Saturdays come around they ask almost every 5 minutes when they can talk to Chris. Well i'll be sure to post a few of the pictures that he has sent me. Oh and Chris says hello to everyone and misses you all. Only about 6 more months til Chris comes home! it feel like forever away but were both trying hard to be patient and positive about the whole situation. Well Ill try to get the pictures up asap.

Bailey's First pictures

Recent Updates

Well as most of you know Chris was deployed the first of this year to Africa (not Iraq or Afganistan, not sure why everyone kept thinking that. oh well) he's suppose to come home sometime in the end of November at least that's what he's being told as of right now. He is doing well but cant stand the weather, he says its starting to get hot and its very humid. Oh he also says that there's a village not too far from the base which is pretty cool but since their is no garbage services everyone piles there trash and dead animals and burns it all every night. He says it smells really bad and i guess the smell lingers. But there are a few good things, all the lds members are able to have sacrement on sundays (when they dont have to work of course), and Chris is being very positive about seeing this as an opportunity to be a missionary while serving his country. Well the latest on my part isnt much Baily (our soon to be first baby) is as healthy as can be expected and never stops kicking or bouncing around. She has me on a strict schedule for when i'm allowed to sleep. My O.B. says she weighs almost 2 pounds and looks to be growing a little ahead of schedule, its not a bad thing it just means she could be a few weeks early. Oh so Chris is doing fantastic at being the better looking one of the both us. Ever since we found out we were pregnant Chris has been loosing weight while i've been gaining it (not that he needed to, Just as long as doesn't put on "sympothy weight"). Its okay i just keep telling myself its for the baby. Well thats pretty much all that i can really think of .

Finally we set up our Blog!

Okay so Chris and i finally got our blog page set up! SOrry it took so long but life has been crazy. Well the purpose of this blog is to keep all of our friends and family updated with whats going on with Chris while he's serving our country overseas and with me and my pregnancy and everything afterwards.
