I've been having this almost...obsessive idea about the cutest black widow costume. I kept picturing it in my head, so I just had to put the idea on paper (so to speak). Haha. I love it! I think it'd be soooo adorable on a little girl. Hopefully someday I'll be able to bring my masterpiece to life! Be sure to click on the picture if you want to see it larger.

We just got back from Disneyland today. We had a blast! It was REALLY hot - lower 90s, which made it sort of miserable to walk around Disneyland. We had plenty of time though early in the day, and then later around 5 when it was much cooler to enjoy ourselves. We like Disneyland best at night anyway.
I always find funny hats for Kevin to pose in. Hehe. You should have seen the picture of him with an Eyeore hat on.
Here's a picture of Kevin after just getting into our room. I think it's at this moment that his vacation officially started. :) He looks pretty relaxed, wouldn't ya say? Our room was very nice, which is good because we spent a lot of time in it. Hehe. It had a fancy flat-screened TV!
We ran into a lot of characters. The park was pleasantly uncrowded so there were no huge lines to take pictures with them. Here's Me with Jafar (that's my villain face), Kevin with Alice and the Mad Hatter, and us with Mickey!
It was nice to escape the stress of the fires. When you're in Disneyland you're sort of in your own little world. The fires might as well have been on Mars! Hehe. At least that's how it feels when you're immersed in the wonderful world of Disney.
Well, back to getting ready for the deployment. Got things to pack, clean, and square away. As far as the fires go, we're safe. Out of the way. Other than dirty ashes in the air, on our cars, shoes, and all that - we're fine. It's sad to see so much of Camp Pendleton burned though. On our way down to Disneyland just a couple days ago, I was talking about how pretty Camp Pendleton was - the hills are so green, and right next to the coast; and it's really the only bit of wild land left in Southern California. But now a lot of it is charred. I hope the vegetation grows back quickly.
Anyway, we're out for now.
Love you all.

Wow. The time before Kevin's deployment is going so fast! We've been busy preparing for it. I'm definitely going back to Utah because there is really no reason for me to stay in California for 6 months. Maybe next deployment we'll have kids (or, a kid. i know you Moms out there noticed it was plural, hehe) or a good job that would motivate me to stay while he's deployed.
We've decided to use these handy storage things called "PODS" for the move. They are really convenient. They'll deliever the POD to our apartment. They leave it right in the parking lot. We take as many days as we need to fill it, give them a call, and they come pick it up and take it to their warehouse for storage. We'll also be storing the Corolla here in California. Kind of stressful. We hope all of our belongings stay sa

fe while we're away.Kevin's pre-deployment leave starts on Friday. We're going to spend a nice few days at Disneyland! We're staying in a fancy hotel room right across from the park. It comes with robes and slippers! Haha. We'll be sure and post lots of pictures from the trip. The park is decorated for Halloween, which is always fun. We're also going to try and find a good haunted house to go to. We're looking forward to it. And Kevin is in much need of a vacation. He's been very busy with pre-deployment training.
Anway, we'll talk to you soon.
Love ya,
Kevin and Trina

We're bloggers!
Since our family and friends are scattered all over the country, we thought this would be a fun way to keep in touch with you.
And while Kevin is deployed, it will be a perfect way for us to document this crazy time in our lives - sort of like an on-line journal!
