GIRLS WEEKEND 2010!!!!

We finally decided on a date for Girls Weekend. We are going to do it July 30-Aug. 1. We will be doing it here in Oceanside. Jenny has graciously volunteered her house. (Thanks so much Jenny! What would we ever do without Jenny). Anyways, we want to start on Friday morning, so you are all welcome to come Thursday night so we will be ready to go on Friday. I am super excited for this weekend. I think it will be a blast. We will start figuring out what we will be doing soon. If any of you have any request just let me know. This will come fast! Loves

We know where we are going!

Finally! We know where we are headed. We are headed to a little paradise called Mountain Home Idaho! Just kidding about the little paradise part, but at least it is close to home! We just found out. We turned in our wishlist in December with Mt. Home no where near the list but in Feb the Assignments officer emailed with a list of 11 bases that no one signed up for. Of those 11 Mt. Home was the best choice for us. There were enough spots that weren't signed up for it made us pretty worried that we would get sent to one of these bases that we REALLY didn't want. So we called the assignments officer and told him we would be willing to add MT. Home to our list. The Sweet thing is that choosing Mt. Home means that the odds of Austin getting deployed are very small. We may go through our whole payback without Austin ever being deployed. That would be awesome. Anyway, for those that don't know, MT. Home is 45 min east of boise and 5 hours from Provo. It's a very small town but I don't think I am going to mind all that much. It is close to the sand dunes so we are going to get some 4-wheelers and go crazy. We will make it fun!

Girl's Weekend 2010 date poll

We desperately need to finalize the date for girl's weekend so PLEASE vote for either the first or second weekend in August in the poll on the right side of the blog. You are excused from voting ONLY if you know for sure that no matter which weekend it is you can't come.

This will help Kami get an idea of where we could stay and what we can plan to do for fun! I've noticed Southwest has some pretty good deals on flights right now too... so we need to decide before they vanish! :)

PS - if you haven't seen Karie's new baby, please read the previous post - she's adorable!

Savanna Marie Shelton

If you haven't caught my blog, we welcomed Savanna Marie to our family on March 19th. She is just over two weeks and doing well (besides sleeping all day and then waking up as soon as the lights go out....any suggestions for that?). Details on our blog but maternity leave is over...ha ha...and it's back to work. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and congratulations Rachel M...I didn't know you were expecting.

Any final verdict for girl's weekend?
