Hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July, filled with tons and tons of fireworks (something I missed out on and am still quite sad about it). After 4 hours of class and 4 more of studying, I went to watch the Semester 1 vs. Semester 4 inter mural football game with Colby (which we lost, like we have every other game so far) and then home to make our contribution to the 4th of July BBQ we had at Tim & Jackie's. Colby made the MOST AMAZING hummus. And homemade pitas too. The hummus was chick peas, soybean oil, water, salt, pepper, and taco seasoning (from the packets Mom sent us in our most recent package). That alone was fabulous but he took it to another level. He mixed cream cheese milk and super hot yellow pepper sauce and that went on top. I can't even tell you how amazing it was. Everyone was baffled that it was Colby's creation. All the wives said "I need to get me one of those." :) Too bad, he's mine! We had a great, relaxing night of pigging out on snacks and BBQ chicken and drinking beer and one of our favorite cocktails (dark rum and Sunkist - mmm!). Last night was a much needed reminder of how much we all love the good 'ol US of A.
Today I had a review for my upcoming test (the 14th) and then studied ALL day. Colby had another shift at work and still really enjoys it (I enjoy the free coffee!) and had a lot of fun with the other spouses he works with.
Colby leaves on Wednesday at 5:30a for two weeks. I will probably starve but he is beyond excited and can not WAIT to get off the island and back to Spokane. The first thing he plans on doing is eating a big, fat steak. I am so jealous!
Hope everyone enjoys the new system of keeping in touch. Talk to you soon!
