4.5 Months Down

So Eric's been gone for almost 5 months and then we can say that we are a third of the way through deployment. I suppose, when you think about it, that's quite an accomplishment. I wasn't sure how I would cope with being back in Colorado with no school to keep me busy and a whole year to get through. So far its been really good. I've been home for 2.5 weeks and I have been really busy. Almost too busy. The thing is that I tend to overbook myself because I hate sitting in the house - its depressing. I feel kind of aimless when I'm not doing something.

Since I've been back I've been trying to finish decorating Wyatt Elmo themed room. The curtains have been killing me - I can't seem to find any I like. I'll post a pic as soon as I am finished.

I've started booking cakes again. My latest is below. I was very happy with it - except for the Rockies logo - it isn't as good as it could be - but oh well, the customer was happy.

We have a baby shower in a week and I am helping plan the shower and make the cake and favours as well as some of the decorations - that will keep me busy for the next week. Plus I few of us are getting together to decorate pillow cases for the single soldiers in our troop for Valentines Day.
