Veterans Day

HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all the retired and active duty military who help keep our country safe!!!

Today was spent pampering Jarred on "his day". He got to sleep in, then I made cinnamon rolls (no not fresh, I wasn't THAT prepared this morning!!!), and we spent the day doing absolutely nothing. Then I went out and got the dinner he wanted. Ribs and stuff to make potato salad (which was my first time making!!!). It turned out to be a fun day!! And then we finished with having the Gilmores over while Nate and Candy went to praise team practice. I love having the girls here!!! Its a lot of fun watching them all run around. Plus Lacey is James' "girlfriend". Its cute!!

So today I got an email saying they (the base) are having their first "family night". They are having tutorials on financial issues during the holidays, holiday safety and so forth. I am just going for the prizes to be totally honest. Plus the fact that they are going to provide free child care!! So I get rid of the kids (probably just James and Julie) for 2 hours!! WOOT WOOT!!! And I have to say the prizes are awesome!! I told Jarred we are going, he fought me saying we would be the only two there. And I said, well I guess that guarantees a prize!! HA!!! Here is the list of prizes, and tell me you would not sit through two hours of this to hopefully win one of these:
Prizes include but are not limited to:
Pampered Chef
Restaurant gift certificates (Olive Garden, Outback, Applebee's, UNO Chicago, and many more)
Hotel Stays
20 Free turkeys
Thomas Kincaid plaques
Movie passes
Spa treatments
And More!

Man I want that spa treatment!! Hahaha .. we shall see. Thats this Thursday night. So it would be perfect right before our road trip!!! I am interested to see how this works, plus that since I am working with the FRG I figured if I were wanting a turn out then maybe I should respect they would want a turn out also, right? But I am anxious to see how big of a turnout they get!!! Ok well thats all for now. We leave in 7 days!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
