So I'm here in Stamford Connecticut with my extended family, big thanks to my folks for the plane tickets for this trip and Aunt Barbie for hosting and getting me up here from JFK Wednesday evening. The pictures on the left are with cousins Cassie, Woody, and Margie in July 2001, then again on Thanksgiving 2007.
We have 4 days special liberty for Thanksgiving break, and I've spent the lot of it online, getting my new computer sorted out. I bought a little HP laptop two weeks ago, so we are getting to know each other and that is nice.
It is truly beautiful up here, New England has its charms. The trees are in full color now, and their house is right on the banks of the Long Island Sound, providing beautiful views, animal life and color changes all day long. Thanksgiving Day was very relaxing and just what I needed to decompress from my first months in the military. I brought the Navy oboe up here to play, and have some projects to finish during the time off. I sprained my ankle two weeks ago playing 2 on 2 indoor volleyball, it swelled up and bruised enough to slow me down. It has been healing steadily, testing my patience for recovery. The torn gastroc from boot camp is getting stronger too, and I have more PT sessions to ensure it's healing properly.
I get especially anxious about committing to this job when faced with these injuries, but God reminds me all the time that this is where I'm meant to be. I have to remember this is a transitionary time, that I should feel uprooted and out of sorts. My body is healthy and will heal.
Wednesday was the annual Army-Navy/Marine football game at the School of Music, it was a great game of flag football and I had fun cheering on the pep squad for Navy. Army won in sudden death overtime, boo! The Army players are friends we study with at the school, so I have to admit it wasn't much of a rivalry, just a morning with great weather, football, pep band and 25 dozen donuts. Who could ask for more?

You stole my template. Template thief! Template thief!!!
Ugh, and your highlights photo comparison is better than mine. I should've quit while I was ahead.
I like your picasa pics though (an area in which I elect not to compete). Looks like you made your pep squad uniform? It's cute.
