It's MARCH!  the thaw is on it's way! 

the weather now is nice enough for all of us to go outside for an extended period of time now.  We spent about 30 minutes outside. 

March.  we were married in march.  He's been home for only 4 of the 7 years we've been married (counting this year) - and those 4 years have been spent mostly forgetting our anniversary together.  ;)  I wouldn't have it any other way.

Gosh, it also means that we've been living here in alaska for a year now.  It's kind of weird to think that a year ago, paul was still deployed.  It makes me really sad that this year has gone by so fast.  We have another year left.  what's in store for us?  no sure yet.  Paul will be due for reenlistment as our tour in alaska ends.  It's an exciting time for all of us.
