Deployment Month 2 In Review

In Month 2:

-I went to the gym at least five days a week

-Read the following books: Firefly Lane, Not My Daughter, Something Borrowed, A Girl Named Zippy, My Life on Mars and I started on The Way the Crow Flies (which is horribly depressing and I had to quit reading)

-Had several Girls Night Out in which I ate sushi, delish Mom and Pop Italian food, and 3 trips to two different wineries

-Still have had almost daily contact with Sean, which makes this time apart much easier

-Went to Florence on a day trip and got to see the statue of David

-Worked on my college scrapbook and am now working on scrapping my junior year of college

-My new recipe I made of the month was lime cilantro shrimp salad. I'm still tweaking the sauce for it though

-Started attending a Bible Study about dealing with deployment

And my favorite pic from this past month:



Overall this month has gone by quickly! I hope that trend continues

I have been so insanely busy so I haven't emailed you back yet (regarding the Bourbon Street picture). But tell me about your Bible study group - what is that like?
