i had a good time at drill this weekend. i should never get so apprehensive about drill weekends because they always turn out being okay. i leave feeling good about being in the army. it really is an opportunity in my life.

chris scheduled his surgery today. it will be august 9th at 7:30am. the doctor will do it at home hospital. i'm going to stay with him all day. i love him and want to take care of him and do anything he needs me to. i pray, God, that you would allow this to heal his back completely and that he would experience no more pain ever again.

i've really enjoyed cooking. at the end of every week, i create a menu for the next week, looking at what we already have, then dig through cookbooks for ideas. i love coming up with a variety of foods to eat. i only come up with 3-4 meals because we usually eat leftovers a couple of nights. i don't cook on sundays. we try to go out to eat or i let chris find his own food.
