Mood:  bright

Good morning!

Well, we have returned and it is good to be back!

First off I want to start off by saying thank you, for letting us come out and visit. We really enjoyed it and I know Soldier did too. Soldier has made it safely back to where he was and is doing alright. He fried his new laptop hard drive already so he is dealing with that right now.

Oh… Flyboy has a new nickname; I will no longer be calling him Flyboy. When we got back from Cali, he was soo tired and out of it. I mean he was tired as if it were 300 when it was only like 1400 and we were on our way to the store to pick up something and out of nowhere he pops off with, “I’m a Groggy Froggy” then sighs and goes quiet again. I don’t even think he knew what he said, but from now on, Flyboy is now, Groggy Froggy.

So, as soon as we arrived home, Groggy Froggy had to go to work the next morning. It was a good thing he did too because apparently they were mission planning for the TDY Monday, it had gotten moved up a day. Needless to say, he went on crew rest immediately after work and we had an early show time on Tuesday. The cool thing about this particular TDY was that since they were sending so many guys, the ones who couldn’t fit on the plane got to fly commercially. Off to the airport we went… at dawn… After I dropped him off there, I got on the road and headed for Mississippi. I figured that since he was getting to go on a week long TDY to his home state and is able to visit his parents, why can’t I go see mine? I am officially tired of driving long distances, so we won’t be adventuring for awhile. Haha

I don’t know what all he got to see and do while he was out there, we really haven’t gotten a chance to sit down, relax and talk with each other since our trip to Cali. I mean as soon as we arrived he had to go to work the next day. It is the same with today, he got back late Sunday night and he is at work at the moment. He is hoping to take Thursday and Friday off so we can have a weekend. The poor thing is SOO drained. I find it funny though, he always complains at how we aren’t busy going out and doing things and now that we are he is waving the “Time-Out” flag. Hehe. Silly man.

My trip was fun, well not the driving part, like I said; I am a little burnt on that. I feel bad because I pretty much slept the whole time I was there. =/ One day I slept for like 14 hours straight!! I haven’t done that since I was in high school… yay for summer vacation! They are doing well over there. It is so muggy and filled with creepy bugs in that state. I don’t think I have been out there during the summer months, I have no idea how Groggy Froggy survived Tech School. (He was stationed at Keesler during Tech school) On the second day I was there I treated mom and I to a day at the spa and that was really fun. I got my hair cut really short too. (I will send pictures, don’t worry) I cooked them my Delta Flight Dominators (wings) and The King really liked them. I wish I would have brought my Foreman so I could make them exactly they way I do at home. The King is thinking about BBQ-ing them… I can’t wait to see how they turn out then!

I will have to write about our trip to Cali either tomorrow or Wednesday. Today has been pretty busy and I am not even halfway done yet. I need to call up some people for Soldier as well as finish doing laundry. (LOTS of laundry, but no dishes =D hehe) I need to unpack everything and get this place back in order, it is driving me nuts. Plus I need to figure out dinner… I am thinking spaghetti and a salad?

Well I hope you all are doing well, I am exhausted and can’t wait to crash tonight! Take care!
