Where Jesse is deployed and Tav is in bed between 7 pm and 9 pm, I have had time to clean the house before going to bed. Well last night I figured I would sit down and start filling out the envelopes for our holiday cards to be sent out. I am really on top of things because we had pictures taken in August for our cards. I did that only because I did not know how our training would be. I know that once my unit is back from this deployment that Jesse is on too they jump right in to another training exercise. Which I think I may be on. I just have to see.
Any way so last night as I was sitting there writing out the envelopes I knoticed that I have done a very bad job of keeping up with my family's addresses. I have done a good job of making sure I have Jesse's brother Matt's and his father's address, however when it comes to my extended family I do not have every ones address. I am missing all of my dad's siblings addresses. I feel bad but I sent my dad's sister an email asking her for my uncle's addresses. I don't know why I don't have all my uncle's addresses but for some reason I don't.
Along with those addresses I know that some of our friends have moved and I have got there new addresses. But I still feel funny that here it is October and I am filling out envelopes for our holiday cards, however I like to try and be on top of things so that I don't get stressed out. That is the last thing I need to do now that Tav is around. I like to be calm and have fun with him not all tired out and stressed out. But that is not here nor there.
So I am hopeing that come November 15 I will have all our holiday cards in the mail with holiday stamps on them. I know it will take some time to fill out all the envelopes, put the holiday card in them, and then stamp them but I am hoping to have almost all of that done before Jesse gets home. Every thing up till putting a stamp on them. That way when Jesse is home I can take an hour here and there to put the stamps on them and dropping them in the mail box is easy. I can drive up to the blue box and in they go. It's just getting them to that point that is where all the work is.
So not only am I getting my holiday cards ready I am also updating my address book. Which is a good thing. That way come next year I hopefully will only have to double check with people on there addresses and then do our holiday cards a little later then October!! Well Tav and I need to get going. We stilll have to get birthday cards for my mom which will be late only because I have lost track of the days and don't want to do that with the holiday cards because they will never make it out. Well we are off. Later people

I don't think Jesse did Christmas gifts the last 2 years! lol What a little terd. Tell him i'm still waiting on that Kimono he said he got! lol, yea, right.
Don't feel bad about Holiday cards. We wrote our letter last year and never mailed it out. We are going to be super tacky this year and send out this years and last years letters plus Maddox's birth announcement. I figure that if people keep them then they can file the old one away! So, good for you for being on top of things!
