Louisville Cardinals + Military Appreciation = Good Times

Yesterday was military appreciation day at the Louisville Cardinals game, and since Andy loves anything and everything that has to do with college football, we decided to go! On top of free tickets to the game, the University provided lunch for all military members and their families! I don't think I have seen that much food in all my life! In true Kentucky fashion the fed us fried chicken, cheese burgers, hot dogs, pizza and as many candy bars as our hearts desired. We really had the best time and it was really nice to see all the fans stand to applaud members of the military. I think often times we take them for granted and it was nice to see them all appreciated! So here's to the Louisville Cardinals for treating us right (and beating Southern Florida 24-20) and to the members of our military, they certainly deserve that kind of treatment more often!

Could it Get any More Extreme?

This next month Andy will be spending all of his time at the National Training Center (NTC) in Fort Irwin, CA. I don't think I have publicly announced it, but Andy will probably be deploying to Iraq next October 2009 and NTC is a month long training in preparation for the deployment. Needless to say I am not excited about either trip. Unfortunately this means we won't be able to spend Thanksgiving together this year or next. Luckily I will be spending a lot of time with my family, and hopefully that will distract me from the fact that my husband is far away. Andy isn't super excited for the trip either, but this will make our Christmas all the sweeter! SO...in honor of our upcoming trips I thought I would show you what we have to look forward too:

This is where we currently live:
Although the fall weather here is beautiful, we are still in the 80s. Hopefully sometime this week it will drop below 75. I only wish!

This is where Andy will be for the next month:
Welcome to the desert! Hopefully the weather will be a little mild, after all it will be November!

And lastly, this is where I will be for the next month:
BURRRRRRRRRRRR! It makes me cold just looking at it!

24 Weeks

Since Andy is downstairs engrossed in the Dodgers vs. Phillies game, I decided to take advantage of the the moment and post a new picture of myself. Please note that at this point in time I am not super photogenic, so don't hold it against me. However, our little boy seems to be very photogenic! I am feeling him kick more and more...he seems to be very active and if I am sitting down I can even see my stomach move in all directions. Hopefully he gets all of his energy out now, because I am sure when he finally gets here I won't have much of it myself!

All Stockhoff Generations Think Blue

The last two nights have been fantastic for Dodger fans throughout the world. Our boys beat the favored Cubs twice in Chicago. Now, we need just one more victory to win the series and move on to the next round of the playoffs. I am absolutely loving every minute of it. And as it turns out, I'm not the only one! We have a new ultrasound picture that we didn't post before, and it looks like our little man is taking right after his dad! Another Dodgers fan is born....or will be in a few months.
