"See ya"

Tucker and me saying our "see ya's" as he waits for the bus to load.
Not the best day for me obviously.

I love him so much.

Build-a-Bear

Four more days together until Tucker deploys....UGH! Not fun. But to make the next 8 to 9 months easier for me, we went to Build-a-Bear and made a "Tucker bear" (we actually named him "Cash") that I can snuggle with at night =) It even plays Tucker's voice if you squeeze his paw!



It's incredible how much he resembles him, huh? ;)
Guess this is as good as it gets to actually having Tucker with me.

Last visit to Vegas

This past weekend, Tucker and I made our final visit to Las Vegas before his deployment. When we first got in to town, we stopped at my parents house where they threw Tucker "Christmas in October." As always, Tucker was very appreciative.



After he opened his presents we got out the top tear of our wedding cake and celebrated our 1 year a little early. (at 8 months) And since neither of us were wearing anything like a wedding dress or Marine Dress Blues, we had no rules when it came to feeding the other person...(and as you can see I took advantage of that!)



Coinsidentally, Halloween fell right in the middle of it so of course we had to celebrate that too! My mom, dad, Kinzi, Connie, and Austin (&his friend) came over to carve pumpkins with us Saturday morning.





We wish we could have stayed longer because there were so many other people to go and see, but unfortunately like always, Tucker had to get back for WORK the next day :(
