Labor Day proved to be an easy-going, fun four day weekend. Drew and I spent time on the beach, around the house, riding bikes, fishing, and getting ready for my family to come. Sunday we caught the most fish we ever have off the beach. Almost every cast was a fish which is always fun. We are getting very excited for my family to come on Friday! I am also VERY excited because today I submitted my last paper for school. I officially have no more work to do for my MBA. The class ends next week but I am done!! So this weekend we can spend time relaxing and showing my family our new city. We are already in the works of planning Drew's family's trip down here too. With Drew leaving next month we only have so much time left.
I was watching the local news and they encourage family members to send in pictures of their soldiers along with a little note. Last week I saw a picture of a soldier and a wife's comment that she was so excited for her husband to come home in two months. This really hit home when I heard this. I am sad about Drew leaving but I am also happy that by Drew going, he is bringing home other soldiers to spend time with their family. It is an honor to serve our country and trade off time with other military families so they can spend time with their loved ones. It is easy to be selfish and only think about not seeing Drew for a year, but then I think about how excited the other families are to get their soldiers back home. It makes me feel good. I shared this story with Drew and he agreed this is a great way to think about it. Military families everywhere are making sacrifices and Drew and I are strong enough to make it through anything. But enough on that. :)
This week Drew is spending time at the range which he loves. He shot expert in basic and is hoping to shoot expert again in his unit. Besides that we are both working and getting ready for this weekend!
