Back to reality :0(

The last two weeks have been wonderful! John took leave for these last two weeks.  We used the AFVC (Armed Forces Vacation Club) to stay at a Time Share resort for a week in Orlando.  Took the kids to Universal studios for a couple of days and spent the rest of the time just laying around and playing at the pool.  It was one of the best weeks ever!  Really really relaxing.  The last week we spent just hanging out at home, going to movies and floating the rainbow river.

Currently John and I are in Orlando attending a yellow ribbon briefing for the weekend.  The briefings we absolutely mind numbing but the time that we get to spend together is great!
Alothough I am really enjoying myself, I am also dreading the moment when he takes me back home tomorrow.  After that, we wont see him hardly at all until he leaves later in the month.
The worst part is that he is only 2 hours away in Orlando.  Close enough to visit but far enough to make it difficult to drive back and forth easily.  ARG!!!!

Time just seems to be flying by! The worst part is that I don't think that the time is going to be flying by quite as much when he is finaly gone.  I fully expect that time is going to come to a screeching halt once he leaves!

The good news is that John is going to be able to easily skype to us pretty much as much as he wants.  He will also be able to text freely!  That will help with staying connected.

Its funny to think back nearly 18 years ago when talking and staying in touch wasn't near as easy.  We ran up huge phone bills just trying to stay connected.  We are truly blessed in this day and age to have such technology.

I will be posting and APO address that will allow anyone to mail things to John while he is overseas. I believe that this will make the sending of packages free.  Not sure about that so I will have to check on that once I get the address.  I'm sure John would love to get goodies in the mail from time to time.
