What to do?
So, Billy is in Texas right now. He's in a class in Austin. I want to blieve he is crying himself to sleep every night in agony over how much he misses us, but let's be real...we are talking about Billy, and we are talking about Texas.
So in the meantime, Avery and I have been trying to keep ourselves busy. I called all my girlfriends so we could all get together and take our kids to the Aquatic Park, but I forgot it was Father's Day and that they would probably want to spend time with their husbands and children. OOps. So me and Avery decided to go anyway.
I was surprised. It was kind of nice. I have to be careful here. I don't want to give off the impression that I may have found soemthing here that I like....
Avery had a blast. It was tough keeping up with her. She has no fear. At some point, she decided that lifeguarding was her second calling and started to copy everything they were doing, including blowing her imaginary whistle and telling people to walk. Ms. Bossy. I can't wait 'til she's a teenager.
About 2 hours after we got there, I realized she had lost one of her earplugs, so I had to find a way for us to leave, but make it her idea. So I started to ask her about our cat and maybe he was hungry and lonely. She hasn't yet learned to see through my manipulation, and so we were able to leave with our dignity and no disruption of the entire water park. WHEW!

Mystery Solved
So, I went to Panama City for 5 days. It was weird. The trip was planned forever ago when Billy asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him I wanted to go "home"....and everyone that knows us, knows that home is where Kadin is.
I visited with lots of friends. I never realized how many friends I really had until I actually tried to fit seeing all of them into 5 days.
The vacation was nice. Getting away from work was pure joy. I visited with some friends from my old job, and was asked about my job out here. I gave the "good NCO response" and talked about the "challenges of the program" and the "sense of satisfaction" I have at the end of each day. I also learned a new word:
HORNSWOGGLE.
And in my best Forrest Gump voice "Sometimes, there just aren't enough rocks. That's all I have to say about that."
And so I went to all the places I love and did all the things there that I can not do here...including Hunt's Oyster Bar. I have always believed that every person has their own idea of heaven. If I get to pick, I hope that my heaven has a Target with GREAT CLEARANCE, and a Hunt's Oyster Bar...and of course, Kadin!
So here's to going home and seeing my girls...hanging out by the pool and being completely irresponsible for 5 full days. And to my amazing husband who stayed in California and took care of Avery and listened to me talk on the phone about all of our favorite hang-outs and all of our friends, and the beach, and the great weather.
I don't think that life gets any better....

Relay for Life
We were going to do Walk in the Park again this year, but it is in June instead of September...and we are just too busy. So we are doing the Relay this year, and Billy is running his first marathon in October for Team in Training. I will post more on his TNT site at a later date...
We understand that everyone is watching every penny these days...we set our goal at $500 and with the Relay in just 2 short weeks, we are still in need of $400. If you can find it in your hearts (and wallets) to donate what you can, we would be so appreciative. Every dollar donated helps.
Thank you all for your support through the years. Much Love and appreciation....
