And absolutely awesome, to be quite honest with you! I don't even know where to start with this post because so much has been going on in the last two weeks. I guess the first thing I should touch on is the fact that I just got back from four magical days in Disney World! A friend and I decided to drive down and had a great time at all the parks, and we even saw SeaWorld and Universal Studios for my first time as well!
I met Mickey Mouse and lots of other characters at The Magic Kingdom, went on a safari at Animal Kingdom, had drinks from around the world at Epcot, spent some time petting and playing with real-life penguins at SeaWorld, and-oh yeah- went to Hogwarts!!!
It has been a crazy week since I've been home from Florida as well. It's hard to believe that we are approaching the 90-day-13-week-3-month-mark, but boy does it feel good to have such a substantial portion of this deployment behind us.
We are also approaching my absolute favorite time of year. Growing up in a small New England town, having a love for the fall is almost a given. Autumn in Kentucky can't really hold a candle to the crisp feelings of Septembers in New Hampshire, but it's not as much about the weather as it is about baseball AND football season finally converging and being played at the same time! Words cannot describe how excited I was to watch the Red Sox [stomp on the Tigers] in high definition on ESPN, while I drafted my fantasy football team. Plus, it doesn't hurt that my birthday is less than a week away... I'm just kinda a happy girl these days.
... And whenever that handsome soldier of mine decides it is time to come home and join in on all the fall time fun, I'm more than ready to welcome him with open arms (and probably a patriots tshirt).
