March update

So much is going on in the near future and I'm so excited.
First things first, my wonderful husband decided it was time for me to get a bigger diamond. So he tripled the size. It is beautiful!!!!!!!!
In less than two weeks my awesome friend H is coming down to visit me. As soon as I pick her up from the airport we're heading to a Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes game. H has never been to a hockey game so I'm excited to be the first to take her. I'm sure she'll become a Capitals fan in no time :)
The weekend after that, D, P and I are heading up to VA to visit some ex-Army friends. They are a fabulous family and I can't wait to see them! When we leave their place we're going up to DC to catch a Capitals game on home ice. I'm sure I'm more excited than D and P. D is a Canes fan and P can do without hockey all together. Tough, they're going to have to suffer through it.
We're going to spend a couple of days in DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival and then we're going to Baltimore. While there we're going to check out the HUGE aquarium and a catch the traveling Broadway show of The Phantom of the Opera.
We'll have a few slow weeks before J comes home for R&R but I'm sure with Spring upon us we'll be able to pass the time with a lot of fresh air.
It's been a LONG deployment but we're more than halfway through it. It's just starting to feel like there's an end in sight.
P has been doing very well. Last semester she made the A-B honor roll. We are very proud of her for all of her hard work. It really paid off. Now we just have to keep her on the ball so she can have a repeat performance.
D just got engaged to K and is so happy. They are planning on moving to Florida and getting married. They would like to renew their vows in Ireland in the next few years. J and I will miss having D here but we couldn't be happier for her.
No word on the adoption yet. Hopefully as the deployment comes to an end birth mothers will be more comfortable with choosing us.
That's all for now :)
