September and October 2008

Once we got back from the wedding Matt left a few days after for Dayton, Ohio to do an out rotation at the military base there. He was gone for the month but he was able to come home one weekend and I went down for another. Henry and I made it through the month and I was very grateful to have him. I worked a lot and I have to admit it was nice coming home and just being
able to pick at food rather than having to cook dinner :)


Also in September it was Henry's first birthday. He wasn't that into it but he was a good sport.
That summer Matt and I also planted a garden and had fun having all the fresh veggies. We really had no idea how many plants to plant so we went a little over board and had tomatoes coming out of our ears. We gave a lot away but then we also learned how to can tomato sauce. We are still enjoying it! Matt was home for two days at the end of September and then he left again for San Antonio, Texas for another out rotation. He really liked the program and had fun exploring the city. October was a wild month. I was working a lot and trying to wrap up all the small projects I had going on as well as teaching some of the gals my responsibilities because I would be done with my job at the end of October. Matt and I decided to move to Colorado to finish his out rotations and be able to be near his family. Matt was getting back at the end of October and we were moving that next week so I started the packing process while he was gone. Between the packing and working the ladies at my job made my birthday very special as well as my going away dinner really fun. So Matt got home we packed everything and loaded the moving truck. We decided to try a new way of moving and used ABF. ABF is great because they drive all of your belongings for you. Well you can have a trailer dropped off at your house to load or you can take your things to their center. You do save money if you go to the center so we thought well we can do that. Bad Idea!! It happen to be the first snow the day we wanted to move and I was sick. We got it all done with a lot of help from the St. Clair's...Thank you! It was sad to leave our little home and my job but looking back now I'm thankful we made the move.
