Hubby ships out in 8 days to start his re-enlistment training! It’s like being on a roller coaster ride at the top of the huge hill, and just tipping over the edge on the way down. Here we gooooooooo!
Hubby had his last day at his previous job yesterday. This next week our family is having a “staycation” in order to truly enjoy our last week together. We plan to enjoy every moment, cherishing our time together, and looking forward to our upcoming adventure.
Today we spent the morning getting our family pictures taken by a good friend. She is a talented photographer, and I can’t wait to see the pictures when she is done with them! Don’t worry, I’ll show you as soon as I can! We took the pictures at a local park that also has fountains coming up out of the ground, and a long “pool” about 2 feet deep that kids (or grownups!) can play in. After being extremely cooperative during the photo shoot, Emily was rewarded with some free play in the water.
Tonight, we are headed to a party for a good friend who is also in the military. He’s celebrating his birthday tonight, and also leaving soon to head out of town for some training.
Tomorrow, our family is blessed to have the chance to go to Great Wolf Lodge for a night! It’s a huge hotel in a nearby city with an entire waterpark inside the hotel! My parents gave us this special gift so that our family can enjoy this time together.
I’m not sure yet what the rest of the week holds, but I know that Hubby’s ship date will be here all too fast, yet not fast enough all at the same time. I know that doesn’t make sense, but once you know something is just around the corner, you just want it to get here so you can move on to the next step.
