The Army has a habit of giving block leave dates and then changing them as they see fit.
Deployment date got moved up, so block leave got cut short.
In the past, they always have changed it a day or two and with no tickets or reservations, you are out of luck. That gave me the kick in the pants I needed to book our entire vacation this week. I have a schedule of events, now I just need to find the best deals and make it happen....by Sunday.
I told the kids where we were going and they were excited. I then told them before that we were going to Texas, and they came unglued. They don't know why anyone would want to live anywhere else but Texas.
Since I planned the Texas trip, I was able to commit to two triathlons. One with a friend, and one with my sister! I can't wait, but I have a lot of training to do before then.
I won four tickets to see The Magic Flute tonight! Should be a lot of fun, and this will be the first opera that I have seen auf Deutsch. Em is excited about it, and my friend is coming down to go with us. I'm still working on convincing Abs that it will be fun. She loves opera, but it also might be too late of a night for her.
Yesterday was a 4 mile run and an hour advanced step class. I need to squeeze in a workout today too.
Em is headed off to a tennis clinic at the Academy.
I registered Abs for her first week of camp! She's excited, and I am terrified. This is the same girl that got kicked out of VBS.
Gunner hasn't been home a month yet, but he leaves again in less than 5 months. Time to get busy getting everything together! More on that later...

Yay for vacation!
I have so many times had to quickly purchase tickets for the next week because they change his block leave. So many times.
Texas sounds great! And go you... I walk two miles every other day and feel like I am dieing afterward!!!
I hope you meant "Chris hasn't been home a YEAR yet....."
