Back in May, our first month here at Campbell, at the WIC office we met a little girl the same age as my girls. They had a blast playing. And I had a blast talking to her mommy. In the waiting room. 

Since then, we have been playing Facebook tag, trying to get together. Every time we try, something comes up. Until today. Today was that little girl's birthday party. And the kiddos all had a blast! I am so happy we were finally able to get together so the girls could play. And hopefully we can get together again. 

The only downside to this was my immense desire to smoke. There were quite a few smokers at the party. Oh goodness, I would love a cigarette right now. Five hours later, and I am still thinking I want one!

Before the party, we went to an orchard nearby. And got a ton of apples. There were apples that I haven't even heard  of, that I got just to try. But I will be baking yummy goodness tomorrow. So I am happy. 

The sucky thing about today was missing J's grandpa's surprise party. They were having a huge party for him, with pretty much the whole family. Sans the B crew. It super sucks for J that he missed it all. Back in Feb I missed my nana's big party, so I know the suckiness. And it sucks for my girls because they missed out an opportunity to meet their daddy's family. Just another day in the Army life, right?

Update on Dad: he is doing ok. Most of one big toe is gone, part of the other big toe is gone. Which, I bet, is hard to accept. As is being alone. But over all, he is doing ok. 

Update on my head: ugh.
