Well, it's Sunday afternoon; I was finally able to tie up any loose ends at work and get a chance to come spend some time with my family. The kids just lay down to take naps and we are going to spend the evening with my parents. I think I might follow their lead and take a little nap myself. Like the old song says; "I was tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'; tossin' and turnin' all night!" Needless to say I didn't sleep too well! I always worry more than Andria does about the state of things when I leave. I have to remind myself that I am married to Superwoman. ( I tried to get her to wear the costume once but she refused!) Just Kidding! Andria always gets the kids on a routine and does an awesome job as a single mom while I'm away! The kids seem to be clinging to me more than usual today, I think they realize that tomorrow is the big day. I'm taking advantage of every hug and kiss because today they seem to be even more special.
It is totally God's Will that I am going on this trip, although I did volunteer for this, it is completely Gods plan for me to do this. In the long run it will benefit our family and if God didn't want me to go, he would have closed every available door. It is also an opportunity to serve my Country in another capacity and is a challenge beyond my daily routine. I'm looking forward to the challenge and the change of pace but I am dreading every second I will be gone from my family.
Andria has decided that I needed to repack and is doing a fantastic job of putting everything in my suitcase AGAIN!
I have decided not to take my laptop from work since I discovered yesterday that it won't work unless it is attached to a DoD network. It is also a pain in the butt to carry it considering everything else that I am having to take. Andria is going to ship our laptop and webcam to me after I get over there and then I'll be in business. So, I guess what I'm saying is that if anyone is actually reading this; I will be off the air temporarily until the laptop gets to Spain. They used to play the Star Spangled Banner at night when TV stations went off the air, but I don't suppose anyone has ever temporarily signed their blog off the air like that; so I'll just sign off with "See ya on the flip side!"
