My Medic Man

Adam sent me these pictures the other day and I thought I would share them with you.

Now that he is in the Wiskey training he has to wear full body armor and everything during his training.

Here is one of him with everything except his helmet

Here he is with everything on. His backpack alone is 30lbs!

I love this man so much, he is my medic man!

He is so lucky today, he gets to do IVs! I am so jealous because I want to learn to do them soooo BAD!

Only 1 Day and 5.5 hours left!!!

Puppies!!

It seems as though Daisy looks as though she is going to pop out puppies anytime....Well yesterday after church I went outside to check on her and she came out of her house and was skinny again. Well she had her puppies, all 8 of them. They are so cute! We are pretty sure who the dad is so that would make the puppies Australian Kelpie/shepherd cross mixed with a blue heeler/border collie cross.

She is such a good mommy!

So if anyone wants a puppy let me know, we will be starting to sell them in about 8 weeks.

Another thing I did this week was my scrapbook page for my Dixon side. Every year everyone makes a scrap book page and that is our present to everyone on that side. We all have cool scrapbooks now. I love my page, it turned out so good this year. This year we have to have 17 copies!

ONLY 4 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ADAM!!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Insulation and Diaper Cake

As I have mentioned before in past posts, we are finishing the attic in my brother in laws house so we can live up there. It is taking a lot longer than we thought it would, but we finally got to the point were we got to have the insulation put in! Now we are just waiting for the guy to come do the drywall. He was suppose to come last Monday then it was Wednesday and then it was Friday and he never came. So I really hope he gets it done before Adam comes home for Christmas.
On Friday one of my friends from high school had her baby shower. She is having a girl and is due on Jan. 16. She is so cute and tiny. At almost every baby shower I go to I make a diaper cake. I love making them, they are so fun and easy to make. Here is her diaper cake, which she loved.

I know you can't see it very well but I make her six bows and my mom made me the headbands so that she can clip the bows onto them.

The cute outfit I got her, my friends twin sister got her this same outfit but in purple and its for a 9m instead of 6m.

Thanksgiving in TEXAS!

For Thanksgiving this year I flew down to Texas so I could spend 4 DAYS with Adam! It was the best weekend EVER! Getting to spend the 4 days with him and only him and not having to share him with anyone else was the best thing I could ever ask for.

I flew out on Wednesday after our "BIG" snow storm. haha not really much of a storm. Adam got to call me before I flew because he had just gotten released early due to the fact that they took their national EMT test. Adam passed of course, and I am very proud of him. He is doing so well and I love him with all my heart.

When I left Utah it was 17 degree and then when I got to San Antonio at 11pm it was 70 degrees! I love it, it was so nice not to be freezing!

So before I go on I need to tell you just how much I HATE driving in places I don't know and San Antonio is pretty big and it was dark when I got there which makes it even harder to find the places you need to find. Lets just say I got lost trying to find my hotel, I missed my exit and got off at the next one then I went back and got off on the wrong one again and to say the least I was freaking out. I think Adam was freaking out more so because he was waiting for me to call him when I got to the hotel and I didn't text him saying I got lost because my phone was about to die. After much driving I finally made it to the hotel, and was able to call Adam.

The next day, Thanksgiving I waited and waited by my phone to go off with a text message so that I could go pick up Adam after he was released for the day. I had to wait till 11:30AM! It seemed to last forever, most likely because I just couldn't wait any longer to see him. It was so nice to finally hug and kiss him once more, and yes I did start to cry. Adam was even more excited when we got into the car and I handed him a container full of his favorite chocolate chip cookies that I make.

Later that day we decided to walk to the Alamo, and the walk which we thought would only take like 20 mins took us 40ish mins.

The ALAMO

Adam in front of the Alamo

You're not allowed to take pictures of the inside so I don't have any of those, but it is really cool and I'm so happy we went. We were told that the whole battle where everyone died only lasted 30-90 minutes before it was over.

This is me at the back side of the Alamo

At a really cool fountain at the Alamo

Adam took this cool picture of me at the Alamo

After we went to the Alamo we decided it was hot and we wanted some ice cream. It was so good!

My husband is the greatest!

For dinner we decided that we wanted to go eat on the Riverwalk. A lot of the restaurants had a traditional Thanksgiving meal that you could buy but we decided to get hamburgers instead and they were pretty good. We also got chips and cheese which was my favorite.

Here is Adam while we ate dinner right by the river

And me, the riverwalk is so pretty, it reminds of Venice, Italy.

It is so weird to see Christmas decorations up with no snow around. While we were there we saw lots of tour boats going up and down the river. One day when and if we ever go back to San Antonio we want to do dinner on the river. They do a really nice dinner for you on the boats, it looks really cool and hopefully one day we'll be able to do that.

On Friday we didn't do much besides just spending time with each other.

On Saturday we went to see the Towers of America.

Adam and the Tower.

Me and the Tower

It was really cool to go up the glass elevator and you get to see the whole city.

I love Adam and all his funny faces that he makes. Makes me laugh all the time.

After we went to the Towers of America we went and walk around the Riverwalk again and we ran into some buddies of Adam's that we gave a ride to earlier in the day and we went and had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. It got really cold this night it got down to like 60 or so and we were cold so we went to Mcdonald's and got some Hot Chocolate.

Sunday which was our last day together we mostly just sat around at the hotel and watch a movie and ate popcorn. Neither of us have had popcorn in a long time. The hardest part about Sunday was driving him back to base one last time and hugging him goodbye. I didn't want to stop hugging him at all. I had to have him back early on Sunday compared to the other days. Sunday he had to be back at 9 instead of the normal 10'0 clock time. Next time if I ever do go down to San Antonio again I want to get a hotel on the Riverwalk if I can.

Now I only have to wait 17 DAYS till I pick him up front the airport for Christmas break. In between that I just need to get through my 2 tests and 2 finals.!

Just Because

So I have already knew a LONG time ago that I have the most perfect husband! At least he is perfect for me and ONLY me. Being away from him is really hard and I would never wish it upon anyone else. Having Adam in AIT is a lot better than Basic in the sense that we get to talk every night thus far. It helps so much to hear his voice tell me that he loves me. It has helped a lot when I have had a bad day and that night I get to talk to him. He always knows what to say to make everything better.

Today at work I got the most beautiful surprise ever...

The picture just doesn't do it's job right, they are so much more beautiful in person.

It was kind of funny because I was going back to work after lunch and one of the girls I work with asked if I got flowers. I was like, "I don't know, did I?" She told me that there were flowers sitting on my desk.

I LOVE getting flowers from Adam!! He is so sweet to me all the time. He knows exactly how to make me smile.

This is the note he had written with it.

At work everyone kept telling me how beautiful they are. One of the ladies I work with told me how beautiful they were and then asked if they were from my husband and I said yes. She asked me why he sent them, and I said, "Just because and because he misses me".

I can't wait for Next week to get here. It can't get here fast enough. Adam is always saying way cute things to me. As I write this he sent me a text that said, " You're eyes are more beautiful than they stars in the sky"

AHHHHHH!!! I love you so much Adam! I know that he'll be reading this some time, and I want him to know that I love him with all my heart and that I am so very proud of him! I really am proud of him. I am so very lucky to have you as my husband!

A Very, VERY sad story...

So this picture of Adam and I was taken on Family day for his graduation. I remember being so excited to see him and he was so excited to see me....Now to the sad story, don't worry it's not about me and Adam....Last night Adam and I were talking and he told me that he almost cried that day. I asked why and this is what he told me. He told me that he was talking to a girl who is in his company, he has seen her before but has not talked to her very much before. Any way they got to part of their conversation and she told Adam that she was going through a devorce at the moment because he husband had cheated on her. Adam thought that this girl looked no more than 18 years old, turns out that she is 21 and she dropped out of high school at 17 to get married. Adam then asked her how she found out about him cheating on her, are you ready to hear how she found out....she got a TEXT message from her husband!! I could not believe it, a TEXT message. The even worse part is that she found out on Family Day when she went and got her phone back. She opened it and she had a text from her husband saying that he was not going to be at Family Day or Graduation because he had moved to Dallas with his new girlfriend. When Adam told me this my heart just dropped for her, how could anyone do that to someone like that. She has been married for 4 years and she said that they were the happiest couple in the world and this was just out of the blue.

I can't even being to think of how that would feel. I think back to family day for Adam and I and how happy I was to finally see him and how I couldn't wait to see him. Then you have this girl who was looking forward to family day so that she could see her husband and he wasn't there. Then to go to your phone and get a text telling her that her husband had cheated on her and had moved with his NEW girlfriend. I wanted to cry for her.

The Holidays!!

The Holiday season is coming in a matter of weeks! I am so excited for this time of year for the fact that I get to see my family a lot more. In just a matter of weeks it'll be Thanksgiving, but before Thanksgiving I have a bridal shower to plan an carry out. My mom and I are throwing my sister in law to be a bridal shower on the 20th of November. Then the next Wednesday I leave for Texas for Christmas. When I get back I have to study hard for my finals which as the week of the 14th of December. Then on the 17th....My wonderful husband Adam comes home for his 2 week break for Christmas!!!! I really can't wait for that day to come. Since we will be in the Christmas season by then we will have many family gatherings to go to, not to mention my brother is getting married on December 29th!

Well that a little update on the little world of ours that is only getting busier!
