What a busy week and a half it has been! Time is speeding past like you wouldn't believe and I can hardly keep up:).
We had a BLAST trick-or-treating. The girls looked SO cute in their Army gear:). We marched through the neighborhood singing cadence...it was so fun. We almost made it completely through the neighborhood without Eric (AKA, Roy C Plybon) starting up a chat with some stranger...the girls and I stood at the end of the driveway of this mans house for 20 minutes before Abbi was able to pull him away:). He is so funny, I guess there are a lot worse things in life to be than overly friendly. We did manage to finish trick-or-treating, then we went over to Steve and Roxie's for a few. It was a great evening.

This weekend Eric had reserves, so we packed up and headed to WV on Friday afternoon. It was a great visit. Mamaw Beulah and Papaw Bob took us out to brunch on Saturday, because Abbi seems to think that if you go to WV, you MUST go out and eat:). Then on Sunday, Mamaw made a mock Thanksgiving Dinner...very yummy:). All that means is that this year, we get to pig-out twice!!!
We had a great visit...Keri even played beautician and cut my hair! It looks SO much better, many compliments so far...Thanks, Sis!!

We didn't get to visit too much at Nanny and Papa's this weekend...but the time we were there was great. The girls had a ball playing with Destiny and Alex. We watched some crazy scary movie that made me about jump out of my skin, a couple of times...thanks Papa...I will have nightmares for months:)

We have some deployment news...as of now (but you know how the Army is, at any minute this could change), Eric starts his orders no sooner than March and no later than July of 2008. They are 12 month orders and are supposed to be state side. I don't beleive that we can go with him, though. We think he may be going to KY...so not too far, but I really have learned to take what is said with a grain of salt, and when they say 12 months, plan for 18:). I will keep everyone posted on what we know as we find out. Just pray that we all handle it well.

We are still building the barn...it is the project that will never really get started, or so it seems. The environmental people came out yesterday and informed us that where we had potted out to put it (and the location where the town gave us permission to put it) is over top of our septic field! So, scratch that spot and the 1/2 acre around it!! We were furious, to say the least. But, we worked through it and have found, yet, another spot, and should get the OK from environment today. It works out OK this way, but I am so sick of makingplot layouts and taking them to the town to be okayed...this should be the last time...if so, ground breaks tomorrow!
We also have a roof issue on our house...those of you who know our house issues are probably not surprised, but it will be fixed soon.

That's about all going on for now. I will post pics later of Halloween and our barn project, if I have any:).
