Okay, so I know it hasn't been too long since I've typed up a blog but A LOT has happened in the past few weeks that Steven has been home. And luckily for us they've all been total blessings.
Let me start with the first thing.
After Steven got home from Iraq I was driving his car to work because he needed mine with the bigger space to pick up his things that were coming back from Iraq and to take my parents around when they were here. So I submitted and drove his car for a few days. I had told him how bad the breaks were and he said he would take it in to get it looked at. Basically whenever I would stop the steering wheel and whole car would shake. So the next week, Monday, he drove the car to work let's just say by the next day we had a new car. Yeah, I had to drive it for 4 days and he drives it once and gets a new car.:) But I do like our new car. It is a Ford Focus, brand new, gets about 35 miles to the gallon and the coolest things is that it has this sync mechanism where you can hook up your ipod and just tell the car your command and it plays whatever song you want. Same with your cell phone. Steven just has to say "Call Kristina" and it will call me and he talks to me through the car. Pretty neat feature. Now all of these things are extras we don't need but the car was a really good deal and it should last us for a while. 
Here's a picture of it. Same color and everything.

Another exciting experience was our annual Halloween party. I thought I had the best costume ever. I'm going to post the picture and see if you can guess what I am. At the party a lot of people asked who I was and I didn't like explaining it to them. I thought it was pretty recognizable but I guess I was mistaken. Steven and I had fun seeing what other people were dressed up as and even though my costume was hard to distinguish, I did get runner up for best female.:)

And one of the most exciting things is........we got a new puppy!!! He's a yellow lab and his name is Bo. He's the cutest, smartest, sweetest thing ever. Two years ago I would've had to beg Steven to get a dog and last week it was the other way around. He was the one begging me to let him get it. I agreed and I'm glad I did. He's a really good dog, a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Here are some cute pictures of him.:)

And last but not least I surprised Steven with a few things when he got home from Iraq. One was tickets to see two of his favorite artists, Casting Crowns and Matt Redman in concert. And the other was a couple's massage. We really enjoyed both of them and have loved the time we have spent together the past few weeks. I truly love my husband and enjoy every minute I get to spend with him!
