orange roses

today, luke and i were walking around base at the PX and we saw so many beautiful flowers and roses that are in bloom around here. and then, right along the wall, were the most beautiful orange roses i've ever seen! they were so bright and full of color, look!!!

it just made my day to see such beautiful roses around here! we saw so many others too, HUGE red roses, small white ones, and they were all so pretty! yay!

the spring concert was awesome, by the way! all of the kids did such a fantastic job, and the seating in the auditorium was again packed! the support around here is amazing! Mr. Kim, the other music teacher, has connections with the 8th army band, and he had the sound guys make a cd of the performance for us, and luke video taped it. it was really amazing to hear such great music come from middle school students. even the parts i was a little scared for, the students pulled through and did wonderful. they are so great!

the weather is warming up here, some rain storms here and there, but overall its really nice right now. even the humidity i can live with. its not as bad as in august when we first got here.... not looking forward to that humidity again! ;) it's perfect b-b-q weather, and luke is up on the roof cooking steaks right now!

star wars opened here.... the lines are crazy long all the time, so we're going to try to get in tomorrow at the early show (1:00 pm) and hopefully enough people have already seen it that we can get in. people have been getting to the theaters 4 1/2 hours early here, since the seating is free first come first served, and just lining up outside until they open the theaters! crazy! we plan on getting there at about noon, i hope we get in. :)

only 4 more weeks until we get to vegas!! yeah! we got our camping dates too in santa cruz, so we are totally stoked to get home and see everyone!!! yay!!!!
love you all lots!

~we saw the move "be cool" tonight, very funny! and it was pouring rain when we came out of the theater, but we had no umbrelly! silly us!
~"star wars" is coming here thursday night also, and i have a few band kids who are really sad that they have the concert and can't go on opening night. hello, it's here for 6 days, on all 3 screens. they have plenty of time.
~did i already mention that we only have 5 weeks until we go home! we are so excited! and luke is already starting packing. :) we can't wait to see all the fam and friends!
~we have to give gracie away, so sad! but i think i found a really good student to take care of her, and he's so excited about it. so it will be okay.
so, after thursday, i'll blog more, and i'll take some pics of the concert for you all.
