Morning.

When it is 5am and we are getting ready to drive across 2 states to get to St. Louis...this is my motto.

My Life is Complete

Mike and I made a deal.

I could buy this...


...if I would spend $100 to buy him video games for when I'm in Antarctica.

DEAL.

And now I own a fancy camera.

And my husband is a nerd.

Peace, love & expensive cameras.

Oh Geez.

Talk about a slacker. Life has been crazy the past few weeks, to say the least. With me working overtime, catching up on my new job, trying to make it to all of our commitments, and ...snowboarding...I've totally neglected my blog!

I can't believe my Antarctica deployment is less than 7 weeks away! I've got my airline itinerary, so it's officially official. It's a little sad that I have to leave on Christmas night, but I cannot wait to get down to the Ice and have an incredible experience, both professionally and personally. And I can't wait to celebrate our one year anniversary (a month early) in New Zealand! The bar has been set really high now for future anniversaries...so maybe we'll celebrate year No. 2 in Bora Bora? :)

Mike has also officially presented his Christmas list to me: it is entirely video games. I'm not a fan at all of video games, but I did promise to grant him his wishes. I just couldn't resist the puppy eyes and the "...but I'll be so lonely while you're gone..." Denver friends, will you please make sure my hubby doesn't turn into a Zelda hermit while I'm gone? Also, I'm going to need someone to check in weekly to see what he's broken/ruined, and if it's repairable. Example: he dropped my (scalding hot) cute lime green iron the other day and burned carpet onto the sides of it. Permanently damaged? No. Repairable? Eh, basically. But that may not always be the case...

Love you, Mike :) Forever. Even when you damage things.

Peace, love & BurnedCarpet.
