Adam is amazing!

So I just have to take a minute and brag about my wonderful/amazing husband. When he first got to his duty station on his deployment he got two small rooms. One for his medical room and the other for his bed. Let me tell you they are both really small rooms. Anyway Adam made this awesome exam table. It even has an adjustable back!

Here is the room from the doorway. To the Right of the picture there is another door and that is how you get to his room.
Here is another picture of the bed when it is flat with the the feet rest up.
Here it is with all the adjustments that you can do. Adam is so amazing. I'm so proud of him. This table is awesome, I for one know that I couldn't have made something like this EVER!!!
People have been so kind an generous. My aunt got this package together and sent it to Adam. He said that there was more candy but if he had it in the picture it would have covered everything else. To say the least, most of the candy will be going to other people. I think he is even going to try and give some to the Afghans. I hope that they like it all.
Yesterday Adam and I were chatting on Facebook from like 2pm to 4:50pm. For those who don't know Adam is 11 1/2 house ahead of us. So he stayed up until almost 4:30am and he had to get up at 6am. I feel horrible for keeping him up so late but I know we both enjoy every minute. Now his Dad told me I should have told him to go to bed...which I did...a couple of times. We just have the hardest time saying goodbye and goodnight. When we were dating we could easily talk until 2am. Sometimes when he'd take me home we would be out in the Jeep talking, I promise just talking, okay may a little kissing....But Mom parents would turn the front pouch light on and off to let me know that it's been long enough. Time would just get away from us. I can't wait for him to get home and we can talk all day, and all night long.

I took this picture of Adam's boot by our Christmas tree. Can't really see our Tree but it's there and now full of presents for everyone. I do happen to have 3 under there for me. Adam sent all my presents he bought online to my parents' house and then my Mom wrapped them for me. Tonight we are hopping to Skype, it'll be Adam's Christmas morning and that was maybe we'll have good signal. I am guessing more people are going to Skype our Christmas morning so that they can watch their kids open their presents. I can't wait for him to open his gifts! I really can't wait to open up mine from him.
Well I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas Eve. I am off to work in 10 minutes! lucky me. Lucky thought that I only have to work until 1 or 2ish. And looking outside I may want to leave a little early since it is snowing now. 

Adam I love  you so very much and miss you like crazy. Sometimes I just don't even want to think about how much I miss you!!! It hurts too much and I start crying.

here is to hoping we Skype tonight and then tomorrow I get to see my little BROTHER!!! He's on his mission and he will get to Skype us for Christmas. I even helped my parents get a webcam that is good and for a good deal so that the picture will be awesome!!!

Yes another package, and more training

So I knew with all the holiday craze that I better send Adam's New Year's package off soon. I sent it just it 2 weeks ago. He got it on Thursday I believe. So this is what was in one package. In another package I fit the rest of the candy from our ward, stuff from his brother to him and his interpreter. I'm pretty sure that Adam and his buddies will have a blast with the poppers. I also sent more caramels. He loves my caramels and not to brag...but they are pretty darn GOOD!!


If you don't know Adam had to organize a medical course and teach it to the Afghans. I'm so proud of him for doing such an amazing job. The course went for 2 weeks. This is the day that they taught now to insert NPA tubes. NPA tubes go in our nose and it does not look fun to get put in. One of the Afghans didn't want it stuck down his nose so Adam was a good sport and let them practice on him. He is such a good sport about it. He already has a narrowed passageway and so it puts a lot of pressure on him but he did it anyway. The last picture there of Adam, he was coughing or something but it makes it look really uncomfortable.  Adam I'm so proud of the work that you do, I hope that your superiors see the hard work that you have put into this course and recognize you for it.

Adam said that they had a really good storm the other day. It rained and rained...and rained. In other spots that our unit is in it actually snowed about 5 inches or so. Today as you know it was super cold here, and I told Adam that it was 30ish degrees. He then told me that it was in the 80s over there...SO NOT FAIR at all. Then he said that to be fair it was super hot when they got there back in July.

On another note I got my grade back on my Patho final and I got 72 out of 79 and he only grades the test out of 75. So I got AWESOME! My final grade for the semester was an A!!! ya ME!!! now on to Christmas season. I have finished wrapping presents and I am now starting to hand them out to friends and family. I am hopefully going to get to skype with Adam on his Christmas morning and I can open my presents from him. He was super smart and sent my gifts to my Mom's house and she wrapped them. So I have NO idea what he got me this year.

So Thankful

So I have the most wonderful ward ever!! About a month ago my ward asked what Adam and some of his buddies needed. So I gave them a list and this is what they ended up giving me today at church. They tried to drop it off yesterday but I was gone. So they just gave it to me at church..now don't worry they did give me money to pay for the shipping at least I think that is what the money they gave me is suppose to pay for. There is so much candy as you can tell.
I swear there was about 20lbs of candy. I fit most of ALL this into 3 boxes and my Mom even put some of the stuff into her box that she is sending to Adam for Christmas. I still have candy left to send and so I'll be adding it to his New years eve package.
I just want to thank my ward for thinking of Adam and his buddies serving overseas right now. Adam and then will really appreciate it to get this. I'll be sending this Tuesday or Wednesday just depending of when I have the time when the post office is actually open. They seem to be getting really busy since it is the holiday season. So Thank you WARD for being SO AWESOME!!!! I am so thankful for  what you have done for Adam and I.
