American Fire power.......**

Last night a big storm blew in, pouring rain, lightening and crazy wind.  Today we are experiencing Gale Force Winds, that are so cold they cut like a knife through your clothes and gusts are sweeping through the house.  

WOW.......LEGS doesn't ever have to buy me jewelry ever again all he has to do is let me watch him fly an APACHE, Shoot Rockets, send some 30 mm rounds down range.......LEGS: Kiss me now or lose me forever!!!! The other night I was privileged to witness this and it was nothing short of extraordinary.  

We crept out there late at night, under a clear sky full of a million stars, perfect for what we were about to experience.  We huddled up against a conex, in the darkness where we couldn't be seen (which is a challenge when you consider all the technology that the APACHE has on it).  Soon we could hear the Apache's coming from behind us, then we could feel the vibrations of their engines through the metal of the conex......

Next an APACHE would zoom right over the top us and start shooting rockets, 30 mm rounds and making combat maneuvers.  I won't say how, but we were able to determine which helicopter was LEGS'.  The sound of the gun is like thunder at a jack hammer pace 'dut-dut-dut'.....and the rockets sound kinda like flares and they set off a sort of fireworks display. We could hear the empty shells clinking on the concrete pad spanned out in front of us.......we also saw several shooting stars, one that I thought was going to hit the earth with a bright aqua trail behind it.  The images of that night are burned into my memory forever. And LEGS was totally showing off!!! .*D

I am so relieved we finally accomplished 99% of the Christmas shopping for LEGS' family yesterday.  (huge sigh of relief)  I have a Grenade and a 'Fighting Solves Everything' sticker on my car.  I really want to get a Apache sticker and put it on because I think it is BA, but LEGS won't let me.  One reason is because of the high terror alert in Germany-so while we were out shopping.......I was teasing him about it:

ARMS: " Oh AW! LEGS LOOK its a ARMY WIFE sticker "(which I would NEVER put on the tank.)

LEGS: Rolling his eyes....

ARMS: " Hunny! Look its an APACHE sticker! Can I get one?"

LEGS: Shaking his head.....

ARMS: "Baby, its a ARMY Aviation Magnet..."

LEGS: "I know what you are doing- stop it..."

Whoopsy..... .*D

We had Little Spoon and Stormi over for a goodbye dinner last night. Pictures included: A few things to note; Getting these two dudes to take a good picture is impossible, they both have lap dogs- who says pilots are bad a**?, and the inevitable too many beers expression LOLZ! 

Random Thoughts:

My hair is so wack, its the week of hats.

LEGS has been avoiding me all day......hmmmmmmm...........

One more week.....I can do this!

I find it amusing when you never hear a darn thing on facebook from certain people until a sporting event comes on, then they start blowing facebook up!

I cannot believe how much of a wuss AL has turned me into, 3 showers in one day, 2 just to get warm.......

Don't you hate it when your starving, so you scarf down a bunch of food and then you feel too full?

I hate cleaning out the fridge......its not too bad, but I don't like touching the stuff I cannot identify........

Damn I have so many appointments this week..... .*(

Just another weekend in the life of an unlikely military wife......**
