Dear Detailer...

Well Jay has been gone almost three months now. We have surpassed the half-way point. It's very hard to not get ansy now because they can be extended at any point and I don't want to be extremely disappointed. I just try to keep telling myself that no matter what happens, I cannot do anything about when they get home.

Here's my handsome husband, giving snacks to the kids in Kandahar City:


Jaylyn and I have been staying busy, since that seems to be everyone's advice on how to make time pass quickly. We have been enjoying free movies at the theater on base and spending lots of time with our family and friends. And I have to say that the FRG for 133 is absolutely amazing. The women have been way more helpful (and FUN) than I expected them to be. Jaylyn and I have really enjoyed the FRG meetings, social events, and sign paintings.

Jay's time in battalion is up in October. So that means it's time to PCS (perm. change of station). Jay is very interested in checking out orders. Although I would like to wait until Jaylyn's a little older so she can enjoy the traveling aspect of seeing the world, I am so anxious for the adventure. I have never lived anywhere except the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I have an amazing support system here with great friends and family and a job I love. I know that it will be a complete change, but I am ready for the challenge. I am just going to look at it as a three year vacation (where I'll have to do my own housekeeping and find a job! Ha!)

So, Dear Detailer...please give us something great :)
