421 FS Christmas Party / Farewell

Last Saturday David & I were able to attend our Squadron Christmas Party. Thanks to our wonderful neighbors Tory & Brian who took our kids for the evening. It is so nice to be able to enjoy yourself knowing your kids are with someone who you trust! This year our party was held at the Castle a reception type hall in Layton, UT. It was decorated beautifully inside and out! I was a little nervous when I saw the menu but the food turned out to be awesome! It was a Cajon influenced meal and it was all so good especially the dessert! David & I both enjoyed our conversation with all the others and over all was sad to see the night end. Not only was it our Christmas Party but it was also our Farewell. They had lot of nice things to say about David and the work he did for them. He even got praise from the Squadron Commanders Wife! He was given a signed, & framed litho and I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was hard not to shed a tear now that the reality of leaving has come! These people our extended family and through good and bad are there with you! Thanks to all of you and your friendship. We did get to the end the night on a fun note by participating in the white elephant exchange! Just one suggestion don't ever send your husband to pick the gift! Let's just say we won't be using ours for a long time..........or if EVER!

Decorating for Christmas

The last month has just flown by!  I can’t believe how fast it has gone!  We went to Montana the last week of October through the first week of November.  We had a wonderful visit seeing everyone we could.  We came back to UT and got back to the grind of David working and the kids and I hanging out at home.  Then on early Sunday morning November 15 we received a phone call that David’s Grandfather Bob Fouhy had passed away.  We headed back to Billings, MT a few days later.  We left the kids at my parents and David & I headed up north to Scoby for the funeral.  It was a sad time realizing that a time in our lives was over but it was good to see all the family & friends.  We went back to Billings and spent the Thanksgiving holiday with family.  When we returned home on that following Saturday we got busy putting up Christmas.  David even put up outside lights!  (Thanks BRADY’S!)  It was really fun this year because Olivia understood what was going on.  She was a HUGE help!  Her job was to put the hooks on the bulbs or what Olivia calls BOBS!  She would say “One BOB coming right up!”  David & I couldn’t help but die of laughter!  Thankfully after a short time of helping, Sawyer decided it wasn’t his thing and took a nap!  The house is decorated now if I just could find the energy to get the baking, Christmas cards, laundry, shopping, wrapping ….oh I think I am getting nauseous & too tired thinking about it!  :)
