Procrastination is biting me in the butt once again. I finally took the time to sit down and make our Christmas cards on Shutterfly (remember the 50 free cards I got?). But I've waited so long that the cards are not due to arrive until December 16th. With the move coming up, we're having our mail forwarded starting next Wednesday, the 8th! So now, I'm relegated to having them mailed to my mom's house. The only thing is that we won't get to Colorado until the 18th, since we're taking leave in Utah first. That means I'll only have a week until Christmas Day; which means I'll have to send them out as soon as I get to Colorado. Yup, procrastinating stinks.
On the bright side, this is what our Christmas cards are going to look like!
I am quite pleased with them and since we're moving, I thought to include our blog address so that people can keep tabs on us. Oh, and the pictures were taken by my friend, Sasha. And I'm so glad that she did. They came out great and there's no way that I would have been able to take any good ones of Sina. I'll have to post some more of the photos later.
But I apologize in advance to those of you that will be receiving this card, um, probably on Christmas Day or shortly thereafter.
Today, Malu and I attended a farewell luncheon for my good friend, Danny. He happens to be Sasha's husband. I actually call him Chief most of the time because he's a Chief Warrant Officer and because he, along with my NCOIC, pretty much ran my shop while I was assigned to the Bulldog Brigade. He and his family are leaving El Paso in February. While that's bad for the brigade, it's great for me because they're moving to Germany as well. In fact, he'll be about two hours away from our family. So I'm stoked. But today, I got to take a picture of us at his farewell.
These are the folks that made me shine every day--our HR Team.
It's Danny, Leah, me and MSG Williams. I will forever be grateful to them and to my Soldiers for their support and for their friendship.
Well, it's the end of the week you guys! Enjoy your Friday :)

Have you ordered from Shutterfly before? Their stuff usually comes way before the date they quote you so they may get there with time for you to get them out before Christmas. I've made mine but I haven't placed the order yet, I'm gonna do that today. Yours came out super cute by the way!
Cute cards!!! (:
PRECIOUS cards and hang in there, Shutterfly is usually good about getting them out as soon as possible, maybe they'll arrive early??
Love your Christmas Cards! What a sweet family!

Also, what school do Malu's brothers go to? One of Gabe's friends from college is a quarterback coach at Pasadena community college.
