I spent a lot of the fall in Canada. I came back to MD around mid-November after really enjoying my time with my family. Jeepers, It made me realize I should have spent a lot more of this deployment with them.

We didn't get far as we had to get back to the Round Rock area to get to the vet's before joining Candace and Steve for dinner at Trudy's. Dinner was yummy. When we got back I opened a good-bye gift from Candace ( Read more... )

I did make it there around 4:30. Both of Chris' parents were home and we ( Read more... )

     I'm exhausted. Was in The Colony today. Left here at 12:30 to pick up Jermaine (Chris' former roommate and buddy who now lives in CA) and left for home again around 930. Got stuck in traffic in Hillsburough. Moved 5 miles in 1 hour between 11pm-12pm. Dropped Jermaine off, hauled myself home and finally got in about 15 minutes ago. The pups are ( Read more... )
