Sawp Meet, hair dye and Fun

This past weekend on Saturday we decided to go to Kobey's swap meet in Point Loma. We have been wanting to go for a while and finally it worked out. Since May is Military Appreciation month we all got in free. (saving us a whopping two dollars, but hey that's two dollars saved). I have never seen so much junk and so much treasure in one place. I say junk and treasure because of that saying "one mans junk is another mans treasure". There was lots of interesting stuff and people to gawk at :) I found a small dresser that would have been so much fun to sand and refinish. Sadly I did not buy it :( I wish I had, I would have enjoyed having a new project to work on. Oh well, maybe next time. Of course we had to have some yummy deep fried food while we were there as well. I am now on my 11th set of Invisalign aligners. I love that I can actually tell that my teeth are straightening. One downside is that as they are turning a cavity has been discovered. The problem with the cavity is that I am still trying to find a competent English speaking dentist here in our area. At least my cavity doesn't hurt and with my aligners in you can't see it. Saturday night David and I dyed my hair. My roots were badly showing. And being so poor I thought that I would try doing it myself. So I bought a box from the store. You should have seen David and I in the bathroom dying my hair. David actually did most of the work. I just laughed. It turned out better than I expected. But I don't think that this will become the norm. I like being pampered at the salon. Don't worry no drastic colors, I am just blonder than I have been for a while. Davids such a trooper!
We have been keeping busy! David finished his first mod at school and did well in both classes. Tonight starts mod two. Classes will now be on Monday and Wednesday nights. Duty days are hard on David. Today is a perfect example. The alarm goes close to five am. David gets up does the bathroom routine, eats breakfast and is usually out the door by 5:15. Last night I made sure that his bag was packed and all his uniforms were in the car. If this is not taken care of the night before there is a history of things being forgotten :) This morning David had to go to work in his PT's. Three days a week David had PT in the morning. So today he wore his PT's and had to take his cami's and his dress whites. So after PT David will shower, then wear his cami's for the rest of the day. And today being the 24th he has financial reports due at work. David will get home around four thirty if not later due to the reports (sometimes they take forever and if anything is wrong...oh boy) He will eat a quick dinner change and leave for his class that starts at 6pm. Class gets out at nine, David gets home around 9:15. He will then try to get a few hours of sleep before getting back up at 11pm and dressing in his whites for duty. He has the midnight to four am watch. He will get home around 4:30am and then guess what the alarm goes off at 5am. These are the worst days. David will be super tired and he will spend virtually no time with the family. I guess these are some of the sacrifices that we make so David can work and go to school so that I can be a stay at home mom. David gives so much up for his family. Yesterday David spoke in Sacrament meeting. He did an amazing job. I am so proud of him and love him so very much. Christy has been going to counseling two times a week. I have decided that we will be finding a new counselor. I am sensing that the one she currently sees is not helping her and his office is over on Coronado and I am not a fan of all the traffic and crossing the bridge so often. Mad Science is starting again in June and Christy is excited to go. Both Christy and Shadow are signed up for summer camp at Sea World. Today is a beautiful day. I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father for giving us this beautiful world to live on and our amazing families that he has given us for time and all eternity!

This is the hair dye that we used.
