As I'm assuming most who read this will know, I'm Jessica, and my husband Josh is in the Air Force. We have been stationed at Edwards afb (our first duty base) for about 3 years and are from Columbus, Mississippi. We miss it terribly, but have been blessed to be able to come home a lot this year. We had a beautiful daughter Lily Claire on December 21, 2009 and 2 weeks later Josh was deployed to Qatar. We got to come home to MS for his deployment through May, and be around family and friends while he was gone. We are currently back in MS while he is TDY at keesler for a training class for his job. We are getting to be here through Christmas and are SO excited to get to spend the holidays with everyone again. We have been driving home (4 hrs from Biloxi) on weekends and staying with Josh in an extended living hotel during the week (That part sucks) So that explains all of that.
I am loving getting to be around all of our family and friends during the holidays, but hating living out of a hotel! We have a 2 burner stove, a microwave with a plate that DOESNT rotate (who came up with that brilliant idea?) and mini fridge. Its not much- but its home till Christmas. I am trying to count my blessings though and constantly counting the days till the weekend! We go home this Wednesday for Thanksgiving and the weekend. We will be doing thanksgiving dinner for lunch at Gramma's and then Thanksgiving for dinner at Josh's Nana's in Mayben. Im making an apple pie for each, and Gramma's famous deviled eggs for both as well. Im also considering making a really great recipe for spinach and italian sausage stuffed mushrooms I've done a few times for parties, but not sure how full my hands are going to be Thanksgiving day.
