Home.....And Back Again
Well anyway - here is what's been up. My husband came home for a visit! Yay! There was the usual pre-visit stres. I had not saved near as much money as I thought I should have. I told my boss I was taking 2 weeks off. He said sure. Then I reminded him a few days before I was leaving so we could get customer care set up to take over the phones while I was gone. He looked at me and said "gone?" Um, yeah - you know - like I have said a few times in the last month or so? Remember? He said "as in not here?" Um - is there another meaning? Suddenly he was not very happy. Well, I decided that was not my problem. Everyone in the building knew I wouldn't be there and they knew why. If they fired me....whatever. There was no way I was working while he was here. Then the call came - he was leaving Kuwait and he would be in Savannah the next day. Yay! I reserved the hotel roomin Savannah and didn't tell anyone. I picked him up from the airport in the morning, checked into the hotel, let hime change into civilian clothes and went in search of a beer. Ha haha ha. I think he was seriously salivating at the thought. But it let us wander, and man it is a beautiful place to wander!
There are several places I can't wait to take my parents! We stayed close to home for the most part. We went to the beach but only the once because of a jellyfish "incident". Poor Josh - he got the worst of it I think. We found a whole bunch of nature boardwalks, refuges, and gardens that I didn't even know we had here. I never looked before though so....I guess that should be a lesson! :) We took the boys golfing! We didn't get to do a whole 9 holes because it was a busy and we had to keep letting the faster guys play through - which sucked. But it was fun watching Curtis out-hit Aaron. Ha ha ha.
Josh wasn't bad either. Me - I drove the cart. Well, one of them. Aaron drove the other one, Curtis wanted to but I was mean and said no. Then after chilling out at home for the most part we went Busch Gardens. Now that...was very cool. It was just the right size for a day. And the perfect mix of amusement park and zoo, so you could go on a ride and then walk and see giraffes or elephants so you never quite got that -spin - . You know what I mean. Man they had some reallygreat habitats for their animals too. I couldn't help but think of the animals at Hogle Zoo and think awwwww, poor things. They dont have nearly so much land to work with there as they do in Florida though, they do the best they can. These guys though...were awesome. I have never seen a hippo before! They really just float in the water! Like giant ballerinas!
The rides were very cool too! There were some very crazy roller coasters. You know the Wicked at Lagoon? Where you drop straight down? The Sheikra is just like that except it holds you dangling over the edge so you are looking straight down for about 5 seconds before it lets you drop and fling you through some serious twists and turns. It was awesome!!!
And then sadly - after 2 weeks, I had to put him back on the plane to Afganistan. The kids started school and I went back to work hoping I still had a job. I got two hugs when I came in and one of them told to please never leave them like that again. I took that as a yes, I did still have a job. :) Now we are halfway done and only 6 more months to go!
