Since March....

Wow, So we haven't written in quite a while! Sorry! Since March...I finished my semester with all A's in my major classes and a D in history (just don't understand that subject). I started an online medical terminology class that ended the last part of June, and I have to brag some more, I made an A in there too! Woo hoo! We celebrated our first anniversary early in April by going to Hilton Head for a weekend and hanging out at the beach, which was very nice! May we mostly hung out here, went up to Dalton for a weekend for one of Rachel's showers, and that's about it. Rachel got married on June 21, so we headed up to Dalton for the wedding, and it was so pretty! She looked gorgeous. We had a really great time up there with the family, although it was really busy, lots of work (poor Dusty), and very quick! We have met several new couples that we hang out with on the weekends and go to the Sand Gnats baseball game. They are lots of fun to hang out with. (All the husbands, or finace`s, work with Dusty ). Dusty got his platoon and is now in charge of about 20 guys. He is really enjoying being a platoon leader and is looking forward to the future with the platoon. July 4th, we celebrated in Memphis with Dusty's parents. Nicki was not there...she is in Nicaragua with Warren and Trish and their kids. We watched fireworks Friday, Saturday we went to this place called Puppy Corral and held and played with lots of puppies...they were so cute!!! Then that night we drove to Tunica, Mississippi and ate at Paula Deen's new restaurant in the Harrah's Casino and it was so good! Dusty's parents went to see Gladys Knight and Al Greene and Dusty and I played the slot machines for a little while. We even ran into one of Dusty's best girl friends while he was at West Point while in the casino. It was really good seeing her, considering it had been over a year. The last time we saw her was at our wedding! Sunday, we drove to Nashville to eat lunch and visit with the Holownia's, another family we hadn't seen since the wedding! We had seen Greg, because while the guys were training at Ft. Benning they lived together, and Greg also came down recently to visit us down in Savannah. Anyway, we had a really great visit. Please everyone, keep the Holownia's in your prayers. Greg is leaving Thursday for Afghanistan. It was a really sad and hard goodbye, but we are so glad we had the opportunity to go see him and his mom and dad. Now that we are back to our home, it's back to our day to day routine of Dusty going to work and me either working or having the day off and doing whatever. Sorry this post was so long...I need to be better about not waiting to write in so long. Just remember to keep the Holownia's in your prayers, and also Nicki, Trish, Warren, and their 4 kids in Nicaragua.
