Good afternoon! How's your week going? Mine is going fast! I sure am looking forward to tomorrow night though. Momo (Brianna's grandma) is keeping her for part of the weekend to give Jeff and I some alone time.
This morning I was looking at the calendar and got choked up---8 days.... only 8 days left.....until Brianna and I have to say goodbye and see Jeff board a plane for Afghanistan. He has to be at the airport super early Friday morning on October 2nd.
It's funny. Just up until a few days ago, we've done nothing but nit pick at eachother and fight (over stupid little crap, I might add)...... heck, I even broke something (which I've never done before and I'm certainly not proud of it). But now--we're clinging to eachother and it feels good. It's like an emotional rollercoaster. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with my mom about all the things we'd been going through because I was worried about our marriage and she reminded me that this is what we always do. We go through this EVERY time before he deploys. It's just a natural way of dealing with him leaving---it hardens you up--so to speak. Craziness, I tell ya!
Anywho....really looking forward to this weekend! :)

Onto something scrappy..
I finished this layout this morning. Figured I better get at least one picture scrapped from Halloween last year before the next one comes up...in what, 37 days. lol
It's hard to tell because these pictures are bad (apologize)--there's absolutely NO sunshine today, but on the white "BEE" letters...they are glittered white and have a raised glass like finish..really pretty. I first painted them and then added some Doodlebug glitter. Lastly, I covered them with a coat of Diamond Glaze. It gave them a neat effect.

Would you just look at these monkeys---I can't believe they kept me up so late Tuesday night! Hehe..
Yup..Wednesday was Brianna's turn to bring snacks for school so I baked and decorated 4 dozen of these lil cuties! Just had to share...I love monkeys and cupcakes. :) You can find the recipe here.
Sorry for such a long post--I meant to post yesterday but was oh so tired!
