It's Hard to Believe...
... that the Reds are 5-0 and that Drew and I have had Lexi for a year now. Not to mention, how much she has grown over the last year. Yes, this is Lexi on Opening day last year - she's a Reds fan too. 
My younger brother took the picture on his phone. He watched her that day so Drew and I could attend the game. This year, Drew obviously couldn't make it, but that didn't stop him and some other soldiers from joining in on the fun, with ice-cream in their Reds hats.
The Reds are on a roll this year after their big Opening Day comeback. I like to believe it was the power of my pants, 
but I suppose it could be the team's talent. We had a lot of fun again this year. It was a bit chilly, but luckily it didn't rain. A big group of us met at one of the restaurant bars downtown before heading to the game. 
Even Traveling Drew joined in on the fun.

Milestone
Before this Sunday wraps up I want to share some more good news. Drew tells me that today marks the half way point of his deployment! Obviously, anything can change in the next 6 months, but at this point September 20th is the finish line!

Sweet Saturday
Look at the sweet surprise I found on the front porch this morning!
Yes, two dozen roses from Drew. I didn't even hear the doorbell ring. i just happened to be running out the door to get to the gym for a class and found the box of roses. Needless to say, I didn't make it to that class, but I did eventually get to a spinning one. And, I have these beautiful flowers to smell and look at all week long.
If you are wondering what the special delivery is for... Drew and I had our first date two years ago today. It's hard to believe. To be honest, it seems like way more than 2 years have passed since that first "hey, let's get dinner." But, I am SO GRATEFUL he asked me to get dinner that night. I can't imagine being anywhere, but here, at this point in my life. I have Drew to thank, my family, and all of my friends and his family to thank for all the fun and excitement that has made these last two years, seem like much more, because of all the great memories that make them up. It's amazing how much fun lies ahead in these next two years!

Tick Tock
It's hard to believe that it's been almost a month since Drew came home for his R & R. Yet, when I think about time, it seems as though the days are dragging along.
A friend brought it to my attention that I haven't posted in a while and I think it's because it's hard to think that it will be another six months until Drew comes home again. And, I know that before I can post anything, I have to mention his visit. On the up side, he is half way done - there is a light at the end of the tunnel... it's just a very LOOOONNG tunnel.
It was great to have him home for the two weeks. I was able to get some days off work and extend our weekends together. We took some time to do wedding things, visit with friends and friends of friends who have been sending him letters. We even took some time to look at some open houses. No, we aren't planning to move now, but decided to get an idea of what's out there and what we both like/don't like. Not to mention, Drew LOVES looking at homes that are for sale.
I think it was really good for Drew to get home and take a break from working continuously. That mixed with getting his masters just makes for some really long days away. Plus, it's not getting any warmer over there. Spring and summer are right around the corner which means the temperature is rising... and will continue to rise to about 120 degrees.
He got plenty of love from Lexi while he was home and I know she will miss him while he is gone, but will be even more happy when he returns... for good!

Valentine Smiles
I just got the best Valentine's Day surprise. My Valentine is on his way HERE as I am typing this! Yes, I mean HERE, as in the states for a two week leave. It's something the two of us had talked about possibly happening, but I was told not to get my hopes up because anything could change. Now, it's coming true and in a little more than 30 hours I will get to see Drew face to face!
I am so excited!
I am so excited!

The Big ONE
It's hard to believe, but Lexi turned one on Monday. And I, of course, treated her like a princess. I figure she deserves a little fun and celebration. There's a dog store at our mall that has a bunch of unique dog items, including this "happy birthday" cookie bone. 
She, of course, was more interested in the box than the actual cookie. Eventually she did eat it and seemed to enjoy it. 
As for a gift. I picked up a couple toys including this big rope ball. I thought a ball this size would be impossible to rip through. 
Boy was I wrong! Lexi found a loose sting and I woke up to shreds of string all over the living room. The ball is still intact, but I am not sure how to give it to her without her ripping more and more string out of the toy. I don't mind cleaning up the string, but I don't want her choking on it. Overall, I think it was a good day for her. She seemed happy and worn out by the end of it. Now, we just need to get through this weekend of more snow. Ughh... when will it be spring?!
