Miss you G!

Glenn has only been gone 4 days, but I miss him so much! I think it's so hard because he is so buys and at weird times that he hasn't even had a chance to call me except for a few minutes at a time. Only another week til he gets home though. It's nice that it always seems to work out that I have plans when he is gone. Got to keep busy!

In True Navy Fashion...

Just as in everything with the Navy. More changes. This time though, it is good changes! We thought Japan was out, but thanks to the thunderstorms last week, only one person got stan-checked so the Pri-A spots are still open to everyone! Japan is still an option! We are very excited again although I'm not sure Glenn's mom is. They want to come visit over Labor Day, but they might just have to wait and come to Japan!

Glenn left this morning for 2 weeks in Jacksonville to get ready for his CQ. Let's hope for good flying and a good head on his shoulders. Both of which I am not worried about :). Two weeks is no fun to be apart, but I suppose I should get used to it. If we get Japan, he may be out of here very quickly!

The start of the boat phase means only 3 or 4 more weeks til decision time. Ahh, I'm so anxious!

How cute is he?! This is Connor, my nephew, at 2 1/2. He is such a cutie now and so fun. Last time I saw him he was 1 1/2, but now he can run and swim and talk and tell you exactly what he wants which can be a good or a bad thing I guess :). Glenn and I had a great time visiting him and it definitely held off the baby bug for awhile! Better to enjoy someone else's baby in my opinion. For now at least :).

Bathroom Window

I can no longer open the bathroom window. There is a spider that has made the window sill his home. This spider is at least <--------------------> this long and <----------------> this wide. It his humungous and I am afraid of it. Glenn won't kill it either. And to make things worse. It is nocturnal so we can only find it at night and it runs away when I turn on the light. How am I suppose to kill a spider in the dark. Seems like an all around bad plan to me.
What am I going to do when Glenn is on deployment. Never open any windows probably.

So maybe not...

Glenn told me yesterday that he heard there may be no Japan slot. I was looking forward to it so much. I always knew there might not be a spot but for the last 6 months we have heard there will be and Glenn has been flying so well. I guess you never know though. We will just have to wait and see! The more time we spend here though the happier I am in Norfolk. I would be happy here in a beautiful house or in California. I guess we will just see where the Navy sends us!

I have lots of cute pictures of Connor that I need to post from our awesome trip to Louisiana over the 4th of July. What a great trip! I miss them all already.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy birthday America. Everyone be safe on their day off!

July!

It is July already! I can't believe how quickly June went by. Glenn and I leave on Friday morning for Louisiana to see Adam, Laura & Connor. It has been a year since I last saw Connor and he is going to be so different. He talks and swims and runs now. Before he was barely saying a few words. He is getting so big so fast. I am obviously excited to see Connor, but it will be nice to see Glenn too! He has been flying night flights which means he doesn't get home til after midnight. I leave before he gets up and I am asleep when he gets home. I can't imagine what it must be like for people that work different shifts than their spouse. It must feel like they aren't even married.
July also means that it is only ~6 weeks until we find out where we move to! Glenn has been flying very well (knock knock) so let's hope that continues through the boat. He leaves in just over 3 weeks for his FCLP Det to Jax. Japan here we come (I hope!)!
