Quick Update!

I'm just getting the computer back with a new hard drive and don't have all my functions (the computer and myself!) so bear with me. Just as I was blogging away snarling about the lack of info (travel approval and travel dates) from my agency, the lovely Kay phoned me. Kay (in a different travel group with my agency- get this not leaving til JANUARY) informed me she rec'd an email stating my group is tentatively scheduled to leave December 12th!!!!
Just in time for Elena's first birthday on the 20th! Wooo-hooo!!!! Of course, things can change on a dime, but I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) =) =)
Ok, back to business before I go recheck all the stuff I have laid out for my trip for the umpteenth time!
Pictures of the shower are in the mail courtesy of my cousin Heather. Once I get them hopefully my computer will be back to "normal" and I'll be able to shrink down pics, etc.

I know y'all wanted a picture of the new 'do so here's a sample. It's alright. I have really thick hair which grows quickly and it will probably be in a pony by the time summer rolls around again!









Special thanks to PIPO for her thoughtfulness. It's GORGEOUS, girl! Such a talent! Ellie and I will treasure this for sure.
