So this past sunday Carson and I had the opportunity to go to the Day of Remeberance, which is for fallen servicemen from the northwest. It was pretty amazing and very emotional. One of my favorite parts was when all of these bikers rode up on into Flat Top park on their Harleys and lined them all up in the back and began helping where ever they could. It was very touching to see all of these people come out and support the families of those who have lost loved ones in battle and for the support they give to those who are still serving. Carson is in the VFW and had the opportunity to be a part of the ceremony in the rifle squad. It was a very emotional experience but it was such and amazing thing to be a part of. One of the highlights for Carson was that he was able to meet General Mattis, he is a Four Star General which is the highest rank in the Marines, not only that but he is also the Supreme Commander of United NATO Forces, which doesn't mean a lot to me or most people but pretty much he is the man in charge of all military activity in the Middle East right now, for the UN, from what I understand. Oh by the way, General Mattis also graduated from Richland High School which automatically makes him awesome. It is funny because I have never seen Carson so nervous in my life, ever! While he was waiting to meet General Mattis, I actually had to push to go up to the general because people kept going in front of him. So now Carson has some sweet bragging rights when he goes to drill this month.
So, first off, my cat is very strange yet very entertaining. She really likes to get inside of boxes, among many other thicngs. Here she decided to get inside a water bottle container from Costco. I thoroughly enjoy the picture where her face is smashed up against the plastic and her arm is sticking out because she is trying to attack Carson.
So I am sure that everyone is wanting an update on the baby, well he is still in my belly, obviously, and it feels like he is doing somersalts inside of me, which is strange yet exciting. By the way so far his name is Jamison Gabriel Maestas, but who knows that could change by the time january rolls around, I highly doubt it though. Sorry I haven't put up pictures of my pregnant self but I am not really feeling like being infront of the camera anytime soon. Rest assured though, I am sure Tara will make me sometime in the near future.
