Today is the day that many people have been waiting for. The NFL Super bowl is coming today at 6.30. The game will be played and either the New York Giants or the New England Patriots will be crowned as Super bowl champions. It will be an exciting day.
We plan to have a little party of our own as we watch the game. We have some food for the event as well as some family and friends coming over to watch the game. I am sure we will have a great time.

The Army just told my husband that we will be moving to Fort Stewart in July. For once I am actually excited about our next duty station! Fort Stewart is located in Hinesville, which is less than an hour away from Savannah. My husband and I have vacationed there before, and we loved it. It’s a great city with lots of Southern charm. The people seemed nice, and the winters are mild. My plan it to try and live somewhere in between Hinesville and Savannah so that we can spend a lot of time there. It’ll probably also be much easier for me to find a job in Savannah, so I think that living in between the two places is our best bet. I’m so excited to move that I am already looking into homes for sale and ADT security georgia. My husband is so happy that I am finally satisfied with one of our assignments. For the last two years we have lived in upstate New York, and it is so cold up here that I am dying to get back down south!

One item in the news that has me puzzled is the fact that many people are rolling their own cigarettes. By doing so, people can save a lot of money if they spend the time to do it. Some state governments are against the practice and are trying to have it outlawed. I don’t agree with this.
I smoke and I have had occasion to roll my own cigarettes. To have the government tell me that I should pay taxes for this is wrong. I say that people should have the right to do what they want without government interference.

It’s about to be winter up here which means one thing: horrible weather and being absolutely stuck inside which makes me sick just thinking about it. I love being outdoors and running and biking and all that but when the snow hits up here there’s little you can do to prepare for it. I just can’t imagine what I’d do without my direct tv wisconsin because at least I’ve got football to fall back on! I take in a game or two when I can to try and make myself feel better about being indoors but you know, even with a big warm bowl of chili I still find myself dreaming of the ocean and dealing with things like shoveling snow and getting my car all warmed up. Maybe someday I’ll have a reason to move but for now this is my home and it’s where I’m going to stay until I can’t take it anymore. At this rate, though, that may be sooner rather than later! I don’t know what’s going to stop me from leaving here

Near where I live in the great state of Virginia, a fire burns and won’t go out. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge that straddles the borders of Virginia and North Carolina has been on fire since August 4. The smoke from the fire settles on places up to a hundred miles away and makes it hard to breathe.
Firefighters have battled the blaze for months but it still continues to smolder despite the help of more than 15 inches of rain that has fallen recently. The good news is that more rain is on the way and that there have been no serious injuries from the fire.
