So the first thing I have had to get used to is people calling me "mam". I know its a courtesy but honestly it makes me feel like I need to use a walker and knit all the time. I always ask them nicely if they could call me by my first name. Second thing I have had to get used to is older people calling Joe "sir". Since he is considered a Lieutenant he is called Sir by people that are lower ranking... shocked me the first time when a 60 year old Sargent called him "Sir" and the thought of them having to salute a 27 year old shocks me but I'll get used to it. Third thing that I have had to get used to is social functions. Ive been to more formal events in the past year than we had on the agenda all 4 years in high school. I guess that is another thing I have to get used to since they seem to happen a lot.
On 12/12 we left Z at Aunt Judy's house with her cousins and let her go to their church Christmas party with them, and Joe and I took M to his Platoon's Christmas social. It was a lot of fun. My favorite thing is when a Ute fan won the BYU prize and threw it on the ground and kicked it out of the gym... classic. Mia so nicely held our loosing tickets... we never win anything.
