(no subject)
Everything is going pretty good. David and I are going away tomorrow (well actually later today). We are just staying the night in Williamsburg, VA. We are going to do a little sight-seeing and some shopping. It will be nice to have a night alone with just us and no kiddies to interrupt.
My little sister left today for Hawaii. Well, she left to go back to the hotel in VA. She doesn't take off until I believe 7am. We were really able to spend a lot of time together. Last night, David stayed home with the kids while Candace and I went out. She had a ball and I was just old and tired and wanted to go home...LOL. I took her back to Mom's today to help her pack. She had so much crap, but somehow we managed to get it into the two bags she was allowed. Can you imagine?? Moving all the way across the world and you can only take two bags!!! My mom will ship her whatever we could not fit. I helped her carrying the bags out to the car. Then we had to say our goodbyes. It wasn't AS scarey as when I had to say goodbye to David when he left for Iraq. However, she will be going to Iraq (just don't know when). So, there is a chance that she can be deployed before I see her again. We just stood in the driveway hugging and crying for like 5 minutes straight. I had to get out of there, so I made a quick goodbye and left. I cried all the way home. I promised her that I would come visit her. David and I talked about it and we are probably going in August. That is unless she gets orders for Iraq sooner....then we will go sooner. Fortunately, David is military and we get unreal deals on airfare and hotel. It will probably be cheaper for us to go to Hawaii for a week than to Ocean City. Our Disney trip is planned for end of November. We were suppose to go for 12 days, but I'm cutting that a little short. I know we will be burnt out after the first week there.

Well, better go finish packing for tomorrow. So much to do...I just want to sleep.
