7 HOURS!!!

Yes…that’s right. In less than 7 hours, Shawn will be here! I can’t believe it. It has only been seven long months and I don’t think I can hardly stand seven more hours. That’s OK…I still have laundry and a trip to the grocery store to do. I am sure I will be plenty busy all day to. Hope everyone else is going to have as great as a day as I am going to have.

It’s Official!

I turned in my notice yesterday. My last day at work will be the 21st. I will be officially unemployed after that until Shawn comes home and I start looking for a new job. This way I can spend some time at home this summer and not have to worry about taking time off to do the things I want to do.

Speaking of home, I spent all last week in Mobile and it was very hard to come back to Killeen. Jenny (my sis-in-law) and I made the trip to Mobile Monday morning after receiving the call Sunday afternoon that Nanny was gone. Mom tried to stop us from coming so soon since the funeral wasn’t going to be held until Clay was able to make it home. Turns out the Army doesn’t consider grandparents immediate family and won’t allow emergency leave for a grandparent’s funeral. So, Clay had to take is R & R 4 months early and made it to town Friday afternoon. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon and was a very touching statement to my grandmother’s life. Sunday morning, Jenny, Clay, Maverick and I loaded up the car and headed back to Texas. After a late arrival, Maverick, my 6 month old beagle, decided to keep me up all night.

Thank you to everyone who passed on condolences to me and my family. It was greatly appreciated.

By the way…18 days and Shawn will be home.
