Weekend bliss...

It started off with 6hrs of work. Boo! It was slow and boring but I survived and then I was off to Riverside to be with my sweet Ry. I love road trips. It's thinking time for me. Also a time when I can sing at the top of my lungs and nobody minds....Ha! I must have gotten on base at 4:15. I happen to turn down my tunes and roll down my windows to only be listening to a odd clunking noise coming from my girl (car). I'm a super freak when it comes to her well being and I was terrified that something was terribly wrong. Ry looked at it for me and assured me she'll be OK. Ha! Not that easy. Did I mention I'm a a paranoid personality type? I just couldn't relax without knowing what it was or if it was safe to be driven. On our way to Din din I noticed a SEARS auto center. I told Ry "pull in there..let me see if they're open" turned out they were and they kindly took her on a test drive and put in the air and checked her out. They told me that my CV boot was torn and although important should not be dangerous to drive and I'd be OK. That's it, That's all it took for my mind to rest and enjoy my evening. They also did it for FREE! Yup, that's what I said FREE! How nice was that! We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Bj's talkin, and snugglin. It was so nice to be spending time just the two of us. We rarely get the chance between monkeys. I felt like we were 17 again. We headed back to base where we were stayin and enjoyed a beautiful night taking walks, drinking(there might have been a couple of shots in between drinks, but I can't rightfully say so) Ha! talking and just enjoying each others company. Ry had to be back on Duty at 07:00am so I of course slept in. Also very seldomly get to do.

THEN the best part about the trip was we were notified that Wayne and Kristin brought their beautiful little girl in the world at 10:33am on Sunday June 28,2009 . I'm proud to announce Madalynn Jean Mahaffey. Weighing in at 7lbs 12oz and 20inch. I was soooo excited I could hardly stand it and Ryan was ecstatic as well. He managed to escape from duty early so that we could head to the hospital so I ahem I mean WE could hold her and love her. What A joy that baby girl is. She's perfect and beautiful and I love her. Wayne and Kristin are both amazing and already have the most delicious, and perfect little boy Hunter. I just couldn't have been happier for them. A new family of 4! They truly mean the world to me and I'm so thrilled and blessed to be a part of the Mahaffey family. Congratulations Wayne and Kristin!

We wrapped up our hospital visit around 7:30 to endure the looong ride back to Riverside. It was an amazing night, I can still feel the warm breeze on my skin as I hung my arm out the window. The sun was going down and it was just an absolutely beautiful night. Peaceful! Ryan again had to work early the next morning and I was planning on heading back home sometime in the afternoon. So once we arrived on base it wasn't long afterwards we were both snoozing. Ryan and I had lunch together the next afternoon at Chik Fil-A. Let me tell you something that place is AWESOME! Yum! Then I headed out. I was already missing him as I drove away. It was such a nice weekend. Couples tend to get comfortable in the day to day same ole routine but it was nice to rekindle and just be in each other company. I quickly remembered why I love him so darn much and Why he makes me soooo warm and fuzzy inside. Sometimes we may lose it for a bit, but it always finds it way back. Thank you Ry for a wonderful weekend and for making me smile inside and out without even trying. I love you with all that I am. You are amazing!

And yes, my car is sick but she's in the process of being all fixed up! I have had thoughts of replacing her, but I just cant seem to bring myself to doing that. Besides she's almost paid off ! Hope y'all had a super weekend and are taking time to count and appreciate each and every blessing in your lives.



My darling babies, I miss you soooo much. I know you two are having a blast and I cant wait to come and get you guy's next week. My heart is always with you and you are always on my mind. I love you and will see you two soon. Miss you. God bless.

XOXOXOX
