The Begining of the end !!!

Hey Guys!!
So I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but I realized that the next 6 months are going to be crazy busy and exciting for Cory and I, and I know how hard it is to talk to everyone sometimes (especially family) soo I thought this would be a fun new way of letting anyone know how everything is going and keep everyone updated on our life!!
As you can see its stinkin early in the morning and typically I am not up this early EVER!!! but I just got home from dropping Cory off at the airport which was awful and for those of you who know me I'm sure can probably guess, tears were falling the entire time... but I'm not exactly sure it was all sad tears, part of it I think was happy tears knowing that in a week or so he will be back finishing up the last 6 months of this ridiculous deployment!!!!  YAHHH!
I got this blog idea from a friend who's husband is currently deployed. Cory met them last April through Church and Seth deployed shortly after, but I had was lucky enough to meet his wife Emily a few weeks after he left and I found out last night he has begun his journey home!!! And in a few days will be in the states for good, safe and sound! But I ask that everyone say a few last prayers to make sure his last flights go good and he returns home quickly!!
I promise not all my blogs will be this long, but I want to thank everyone who helped make our time home so much fun!! I honestly couldn't have imagined a better time home!! Here are a few pictures to show everyone what we were up to the two weeks we were home!!!

 Boys will be boys..Mark, Trent, Josh, and Melinda all came to the farm to do some shooting.. If you look close you can see cory on top of the ranger!!

 Stupid snow! Good thing 2 days after this we left for Florida!!

 Enjoying a little alone time on the beach!!!

 Cory made me real "sandals" lol!! Looks pretty legit if you ask me!!

 Dinner at V!! Sweet tan line huh?

 Not a very good picture, but this is the day we got home from Florida and martin gave me the cold shoulder all night and decided he missed Cory more than me I guess!

 While Cory and Jon were playin around Martin and I went for a walk and he decided to test out his swimming skills! And I think he liked it

 Jon decided Martin needed to protect his ears while Cory shot his big guns! It clearly didn't go very well!

 Documentation I actually beat Cory at something!!!

 This is the tree we planted when we got married and the little pot next to it is literally a twig we dub from the grove that I'm going to try and grow into a big evergreen~ wish me luck..!!

 Cory diggin holes to plant trees at the new bin site!

 Jon and Pam working on lining up the flags in a straight row

 Martin thought he needed to help dig some holes too!!

 This is officially martins tree!!

The only tree I actually planted out of the 10 we planted while we were there lol!! I think it's a little sideways!! *don't tell jon though ;)

Like I said all my blogs won't be this long, But I hope you enjoy them!!
