Things have been changing around here quite a bit lately. First, I finished my internship at the end of October while J was in Chile for work. Then The G and I spent Halloween in Missouri with my parents which was AWESOME!!! She loved trick-or-treating and still talks about getting "tanny in my buck" (candy in my bucket)! I'll post pics of her in her costume soon! WE also got to celebrate my MaMa's 99th birthday!
Then we got back home just in time to spend about 36 hours packing to go with J for another work trip that's lasting 6 weeks. We're all staying in one room together and I was worried at first but its been great! He comes to the room every day for lunch and is usually done with work for the day by 4:30 or 5 (if not earlier)!!! We've made M a little "room" by hanging sheets in the closet and J and I have learned to embrace early bed times and watching TV with the sound very low and the closed captioning on. There are about 12 other wives and their children who we spend the day playing and chatting with. If only M would stop saying "mine!"
My only complaint is that they haven't turned the heat on yet. I know its the south, but come on people!!! It was 52 degrees in our room this morning! We've resorted to turning on the oven, opening the door, and using a fan to spread the heat around the room. Its not very energy efficient but we try to limit how long we do it (just enough to take the chill off). Hopefully we'll get heat soon!!!
Next, we're off to my parents house. We were planning on going for Thanksgiving but MMG and I will be leaving a bit earlier because my uncle passed away. He was only 61 so it was a big surprise and its made us all realize how important it is to keep in touch with family and friends because you never know when the last time you see someone will be.
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!! I feel so blessed and am thankful for this precious time with my ususally SUPER busy husband and to be back full-time with The G!
