I've been told "I love you" in a variety of ways by Ryan.  Here's just a few... With candy cake decorations... on the computer and... with chicken nuggets! For Valentine's Day we decided to start own tradition.  We each bought each other a card and a package of candy. Tonight we're ordering pizza and watching a movie we picked out together.  Don't you just love the cards we got for each other?

On Saturday we attended our first military ball. It's a very formal occasion.  We got to toast our glasses, be served dinner and listen to a few speeches. 

Well, if you look at the pictures below you see a lot of snow. We thought that was a lot of snow....until Saturday night.  In a matter of a few hours we had snow up to our knees.  The task of getting rid of snow was overwhelming.  We think the plow guy saw us struggling and our misery of shoveling and decided to help us out.  Thank you plow guy! Unfortunately no picture was taken, all hands were needed on shovels.

There is a great advantage about being stationed in Fort Drum...we can get snow days!  The only bad part, is all the shoveling. 

Monk has now been replaced (we watched all episodes of 8 seasons) with Buddy.  Our newest show addiction is Cake Boss.  My favorite cake so far is the one that was made for Sesame Street. Ryan's favorite was the cake made for the airforce. We're only half way through season 2 so our favorites could possible change.

I have been craving cheese balls for months, before we left California. We have had a hard time finding them. Saturday was a great day, we found them! To avoid the cheesey orange fingers we created "cheese ball utensils". They work great and now my craving is over. 

When Ryan was at Fort Drum as a single guy, he'd often gather up the troops and have a Saturday morning breakfast at Bob Evans.  We decided to relive the tradition. The main difference was that we went at 7:30 while the boys used to go at 10:30!
