Hello everyone,

I really haven’t had anything to write about but I wanted to say hi.

This weeks #’s for the site were really low

114 page views for the last 7 days and 307 page views for the last 30 days.

Hopefully, the numbers will go up with the help of webmaster TE from Specialtactics. TE is placing a link to the site on his main page and in the forum. Thank you again for your help TE.

Another way to help get the word out is by going to www.milblogging.com . This site provides free advertisement for milbloggers but the catch is you must have votes to get listed. We need just over 40 votes to get on the list. So if you like the site please register at milblogging.com.

I have received emails from a few readers. I’m really glad that you are enjoying the site. For the site to be successful it’s important for the readers to leave comments/emails. Then the site can bring it’s readers the resources and information that are important to you. This site is “OURS” the spouses, families and significant others of AFSOC. Your opininon is important.

Okay now on a lighter note….

I explained earlier this week that we tend not to be able to celebrate events on the right days. Our anniversary is Nov 13 but DH will be out in the field. I wanted to do something for him that he wouldn’t do for himself. Since DH’s job here lately has been extremely physical I wanted to give him a day of relaxation.

After a few days of researching I decided to send him to Ten Thousand Waves in Santa Fe. I thought it would be great because DH loved being station in Kadena AB. The spa feels like a Japanese onsen. Now the problem was getting him to the location without telling him where he was going.

After brain storming, I decided to make it an assignment. You know like “James Bond”   I woke up that morning before DH so that I could get into my CAPS uniform. I had already made up orders for him and placed them in an envelope. When DH woke up he found me standing next to the bed. He asks ” Do you have a funtion today?” I smiled “No Sir” “You have been assigned to a mission… Should you decide to accept”. At this point he is sitting up in bed laughing at me. He read his orders and agrees to followed them. Of course the whole time he is getting dressed he is trying to get information. So to throw him off I told him that he needed his swim trunks. Then I asked him how long it took him to swim 2,500 meters. At this point he looks at me and said “your kidding right” I responded with “It’s for a good cause” Now I have him thinking he is going swimming. Technically, he is since he has a hot bath appt. Before DH leaves on his hr drive to his undisclosed location DH said ” I’m only going because I love you and you owe me big” I smiled thinking If he only knew where he was going After DH returned from osen we went out to dinner. DH enjoyed his gift and was thankful. DH even told the guys about his weekend. ( That’s not like DH)
