Cpl D and I have been super busy the past couple of weeks and it does not help that I was struck down with a nasty sinus infection that sapped all my strength and made me miss 4 days of work (luckily I can work from home). To say the least, yet again, I have been a bad blogger. Let me catch you up on what has been going on in our lives, the three second update. Cpl D turned 24 last week. We didn't really celebrate too much though because I was really quite sick although I was able to surprise him with dinner reservations for this past Sunday night in Seattle at the restaurant on top of the Space Needle. He was, needless to say, really excited because he has been wanting to go back and had really wanted to try the restaurant there. The above picture is the two of us all dolled up for dinner. I think we look pretty cute.
We spent the afternoon in Seattle, going to Pike's Place Market to buy my dad some Turkish Delight (I now know why he didn't share the last time he was here...adult food my foot! It is just yummy and he didn't want to share any!). We wandered the market trying to find a unique gift for Cpl D's father who has a birthday approaching soon. Then we headed over to the Seattle Center and the Space Needle where we were lucky enough to catch an amazing view of the Space Needle at sun down. We had an amazing dinner in the revolving restaurant at the top of the needle, where, over the course of two hours we made two full revolutions and enjoyed a complete view of the Seattle skyline.
For the other big news going on in our lives, I can only provide limited details, and for that I am sorry. I will, however, tell you all that I know at this point in time. Cpl D has decided to re-enlist, for those of you who are hearing about this for the first time by reading about it on the blog, I'm sorry, please feel free to call us and yell at us, but the decision was only made on Thursday evening of last week. He has also decided to change careers within the army, and has picked Military Police, or 31B, as his new MOS. The Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for this MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) is 3 months and takes place in Missouri. I will not go with him for the three month training, but will remain behind in Washington and continue to work. We do not know when he will get a school date, although we are hoping for April, so that it will not interfere with our October "Honeymoon" plans in Hawaii. Sorry all, but I do not have any more details than that. I will try to blog more regularly this month, as I know I have been a bad blogger recently.

Thank you!
Mr. & Mrs. L support Cpl D's and your decision. It will expose him to a different group within the military and provide more resume fodder for the future when he eventually leaves. With the economy in doubt, its good to be employed too! He could transition to Homeland Security, etc etc. a lot easier with the training. We enjoyed a lunch at the top of the Needle last time we were in Seattle, food was good and the view was great!
