Yee Haw!

Well we made it to Texas safely and got to enjoy the whole day with my family and Blue. We left around 10am on Friday and drove to a small town past Van Horn. The kids did so good. We didn't have any meltdowns, no crying, no fighting, nothing. They sat in their seats, played with their toys, and watched movies. I was so proud of them. Paul doesn't give them near enough credit. I mean you barley heard anything out of them unless they wanted something to drink or eat. I was a little disappointed for Kailee because by the time we got there it was too late to go swimming. She was really looking forward to swimming. We had some amazing Pizza Hut pizza, or maybe it was amazing to me since I haven't had any pizza or junk for three weeks now. Either way it was delicious. The kids enjoyed it and even Kailee didn't fight me on eating it despite the fact I had to remove the pepperonis. After eating some dinner the kids of course jumped on the beds and ran around like crazy kiddos. We all took showers and headed to bed. Paul stayed up and enjoyed a few beers and goofed around on the computer. The kids and I were out. We woke up 45 minutes before we had to check out. Guess the kids and I overslept just a little. LOL Then it was time to get on the road again. Luckily where we drove two extra hours than planned yesterday we only had 3 1/2hrs left to get to San Angelo. Again Kailee watched her Barbie movie the entire way and Justin slept. Before we knew it we were at the gate to the base waiting in line to come on. Here's where the fun began. We pull up and show our id's and hear you're going to have to pull over to have my commander approve you going on. Of course it was in regards to Abbey who was sitting perfectly in the front seat. They apparently felt she was a vicious breed which are banned entrance to the base. So we pull over and wait and wait and wait. Finally. some Tech walks up to us and informs us he can't allow his men to make the decision to all0w us on base with our vicious breed. So Paul asks well what breed is she exactly? The man then explains he's not a dog breed expert and doesn't know what breed Abbey is, but he felt she was some type of bull terrier and he was making the executive decision to not let us on. So again Paul says that's discrimination and asked what breed Abbey was. The Tech again said he didn't know but could get the Vet out there and they could 100% identify what breed Abbey was. Talk about crap. Yes maybe Abbey does appear to be a pit, but to be completely honest we have no idea what Abbey is. We bought her off the side of the road and have no papers. Once again other people's stupidity make it to where other are punished. Abbey is the sweetest, most gentlest dog ever. We've never had issues, she's never growled, bit, or gone after anyone. Of course for all they know that's just our word. I just really get angry when dogs are discriminated against by breed only because not all breeds are the same. Not all pits are mean or attack the same goes for Rots and Dobermans. Anyways that just set me in for a bad mood for the rest of the day. Every time I think about it I get mad all over again. After all that mom and Blue met us and we unloaded all of our stuff said our good byes and headed back on the road again. Thankfully we only had 1 1/2hrs to Abilene. We got in around 5 and the kids immediately took off to see their Papa and Uncle. It was a nice surprise to see Chris already home and they LOVED seeing him. It's about 3am and yes I am still up talking to my mom and just not able to sleep. Both kids are in bed snoring away. They had such a long day. It is so nice to be back around my mom and dad and it was great seeing Blue. I can't wait for all the fun stuff we get to do.
