Never A Dull Moment

The weather is beautiful outside so I have the front door open while I've been folding laundry, drinking coffee and google chatting. While I was sitting here at the dining room table, Howard took off past me to go outside...only he had one of my flip-flops in his mouth. Have I mentioned he's gotten quite a bit more comfortable in his new home? :)

In other news, Aaron's 15-day trip got pushed back a day to Friday. I was SO excited- it's rare (I feel ) that you ever are surprised with GOOD news. So we had a nice relaxing night and went on a date to a little restaurant up the street. This extra day together was so unexpected, it definitely put quite the spring in my step.

Then came Thursday. I left for the squadron to bring some chili I made to a Training Day lunch while Aaron stayed home to pack for his trip. Then I got a phone call from him that now he wasn't leaving on Friday at all. I was so excited. Until I found out that he'd instead be leaving Saturday for Air Drop school in Oklahoma for 4 weeks. Yeesh. Nothing like a violent shove back into reality. So I'm getting ready for a month or so without him--he, in Oklahoma while I'm in Washington taking care of the house and Howard. Luckily, Mom, Aunt Joan and Aunt Joyce are all coming out on the 21st for a few days. Golden Girls come to town!!
