Still Alive...

Barely.

Got food poisoning on the way home from the wedding. Spent most of Sunday afternoon/evening sick (and on an airplane, with a baby...fun, fun).

Today was D's promotion to Captain. I've been crazy busy and will continue to be that way until we get to our new duty station next week. I'm not sure if I will have time to blog between now and then, but I hope to be on a few times. Hopefully I'll be able to post from our hotels along the way and possibly upload pictures from the wedding and the promotion tomorrow!

Packers come tomorrow and movers will be here Thursday! Eek!

Wedding Weekend Extravaganza!

We're going out of town this weekend to a wedding. Its in Missouri. An hour away from where we're moving next week. Awesome timing, huh? If only we had known our dates for the move a few weeks earlier, we could have moved there and then just driven the hour instead of flying halfway across the country with a 2 (almost 3) month old baby. Such is life.

With that being said, I'll be offline for a few days. We have so much crap baby stuff that we're lugging with us I couldn't justify adding my computer to all of it!

The one thing I am excited about is that D signed out yesterday so we're going to head over to post tomorrow and sign for our new house! Hooray for a door to door move!

I'll post pictures when we get back if I have time, but I can't promise anything. Our schedule for the next two weeks looks like this:

Thursday-Sunday: Out of Town
Monday: Pack/Clean/Organize
Tuesday: D's promotion and promotion/going away party
Wednesday: Packers at the house
Thursday: Movers at the house
Friday-Tuesday: Moving

I'm hoping I'll have a few minutes on Monday to hop on and upload some wedding pictures of D in his tux. No promises. Oh, its also entirely possible that I'll be off the grid until we're done moving. If that's the case, I'll try and post something short from my phone, just to let y'all know I'm still alive during all of this! ;)

Planning a Party!

So D is being promoted to CPT on June 1 along with another 1LT from his battalion. His wife and I were chatting yesterday about what we should do for the reception after the ceremony. We couldn't really decide what kind of food we wanted to do and I think we've settled on making stuff.

Its kind of stressing me out a bit since the movers are supposed to be at our house on the 2nd to pack everything up. We just have a lot going on the next few weeks!

Here's what we're planning on serving:

Ham
Rolls
Spinach Dip
Veggie Tray
Cake
Fudge
Soda
Bottled Water

We are ordering the cake from the commissary and I'm planning to pick up most of the food and drinks at Costco early next week. The unit has a full kitchen so we're going to stick the ham in the oven before the ceremony to heat it through since we're planning on getting one that is pre-cooked.

Have you ever planned a reception like this? What kind of food did you serve? Is there anything you would enjoy seeing at a reception?
