Missing Family

I guess ill start this blog off by "introducing" the Hutchinson Family....Me i am Laniea my husband is Joe and my son is Loring.....im sure i will be the only one ever typing anything up on this blog cause my husband is much for blogging and although Loring is pretty smart i dont think he is old enough yet to know how to type a real word.....lol.....Anyway we are living in Germany right now have been for the last 2 years.....we will be leaving here in September of '09......Joe my husband just got back from Iraq a month ago which is the best thing in the entire world....he was gone for 15 months and i was just about to be mentally gone for the rest of my life.....the last 15 months were pretty insane eventful at times but pretty stupid for the most part......maybe ill get into that on a different blog......right now i just wanna let everyone know how much i miss all of my family and friends back in the states specially around this time of year.....i keep talking about things that we would normally do on the holidays with family and stuff and it makes me miss people even more.....i hate not being back there to see everyone at the Orcutt christmas party...or to meet my nephew for the very first time......that hurts me the most i wish llike crazy i could be there to see him grow and to hug and kiss him.......I JUST WANT TO BE BACK HOME!!!!!!!! but Joes been over in Iraq for 15 months and he doesnt want to travel anywhere and he wants to sleep in our own bed rather then a hide away or a couch or a futon mattress on the floor......cause seriously our bed is like sleeping on clouds......lol........ok i think im good on that part its making me tear up a bit........so about 3 weeks ago we put our Christmas lights up outside.....we had gotten a butt load of new lights just cause they had some pretty cool lights at the PX(thats like a mall for us military people although the one here sucks major butt) so now we have tons of lights we get home and pull out our old ones and start plugging them in to see if they work.......well thank goodness we bought new ones cause all but one strand worked!! lol......but we also got one of those blow up things its of Santa clause flying in an airplane and it has a propeller that actually moves its so cool........i think some day im gonna figure out how we can hook our lights up so that they flash to the beat of music......i think that is the coolest thing ever!!! we got our tree up about a week ago......it looks pretty cool we got a bunch of ornaments from Joes mom they are pretty cool then we have our new ones too so its pretty cool to see the old and new together........i wrapped joe presents the other day and ever since then loring has been trying to unwrap them.......today he brought them all downstairs and was trying to give them to daddy....lol.....i told him its to early to give daddy his presents.......i havent wrapped lorings presents yet cause they are so big..........one moment ill be like hey i think ill go wrap lorings presents but then i get upstairs in our room and look at the boxs and think i need like a 3 man team for this stuff....lol......well hand is starting to hurt so i think im gonna get me a cup of coffee and chill.......HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE.......Love and miss you all
