I am so happy to report that Doc made it home safe and sound from training :) He was gone for 6 weeks, and as always, we were SO happy to get him home! Right now he is on leave, and so am I :) My husband will have all this week off, and I will be off through next Wednesday as well!! It feels so amazing! It's been a long time since we've had nothing to do, so we're basking in the glow of it all as we speak. As a matter of fact, we didn't even leave the house today! LOL We indulged in hot dogs, french fries, frozen pizza, and my fantastic cupcakes, and just enjoyed each other's company. So far this week we've also spent a nice day in Kailua, bought a surfboard (<--- for sure, the highlight of my husband's week!!!) and read a million books with Jordan. It's been wonderful to say the very least! Tomorrow we head downtown for the weekend to celebrate Doc's 30th birthday in Waikiki! I know I've written about our plans for that before, and we're excited for it to start! We are also being told that Doc will be here a few days longer before he deploys than we orignally were told, so we are praising God heavily for that!!!
Jordan has been SO funny this week! Right before Doc came home, we were playing in the living room one day, when all of a sudden she put on all of her dress-up clothes, her fanciest high heels and all of her accessories, grabbed her baby doll stroller and her purse and said, "Ok mom, I have to go to training!!" I said "What? You're going to training? Where are you going Jordy?" She then replied by telling me that she's going to training in California, but that she'd come back for me, and then we would spend time together, but after that she would have to go to work far away for a very long time. On one hand it broke my heart, but on another hand I was SO thankful to hear her little voice recite to me everything that we have been explaining to her for months now. She's 2 years old, and she completely understands what is about to happen. She understands that her Daddy has to train to get ready to go to work, and she understands that his work will take a long time. I know that she doesn't get the bigger concepts of what Daddy does, and frankly I'm glad for that, but it is so comforting to know that she really is grasping the plan, ya know?
Well I'm so sorry to cut this one so short, but I am totally ready for bed, and ready to wake-up to a wonderful weekend tomorrow! There are so many more things that I can't wait to write about, but right now, my bed is calling my name :) You all have a fabulous weekend, and I'll be sure to let you know all about mine on Monday! Goodnight!! :)
