So Blessed!!

I went to the PMFRC today to pick up my criminal record check so I can start volunteering. I am so excited about this. Something to get me out of the house and become a real part of my community. I have an orientation meeting on the evening of the 24th. Once the Military police get my record check back I can start volunteering right away. I think I am going to be working with the deployment center. This makes me really happy as my hubby will be deploying early 2010. Something to look forward to and get out of the house and meet new people. Just what the doctor had in order.

I was talking to my Mom today and she got my package. It contained birthday presents for my Mom and my niece Breanna. It also contained a little something for my oldest niece Savanah. They opened their gifts while I was on the phone. I love hearing my little girls (not so little anymore 7 and 10) scream with excitement. I guess their gifts was a big hit. I also sent a little package for my handsome nephew Evan and he got his package on Friday. He was so excited to get his hockey cards. I think I have to be the most blessed Aunt in the whole entire world. I think God every day for making me these kids Aunt. There is nothing like having a bad day and calling my nieces or nephew to cheer me up. All it takes is hearing their voice and the whole world is a better place. It is hard being away from them. I remember thinking OMG they are so going to forget about me. I could be up here for 5 years and miss so much of their lives. I might not be there in person but they know I am only a phone call away. I feel so good knowing that these kids know they can call me and tell me anything. See I am blessed. I not only have the best nieces and nephew but I also have the best of the following:

Mother
Sisters
Friends
And of course Husband!!!!

I love all these people more then they could ever know. When someone moved away life goes on but it is good to know that the people that matter most do not forget about you.
