Chris' Thoughts

In case you didn't know, Chris has started his own little blog through Facebook. It is defiantly not as cool as mine....well, it's not too cool yet but It will get there....I will be posting some of his posts here as well. It will be interesting to compare whats going on in our lives  on two different sides of the world. Enjoy...

"I am definitely not ready to leave for 400 days let me answer that right now.  I still have a house for sale, a garage to organize, a camper to store, stuff to pack, paperwork to figure out, worry about how my family is going to get along without me.....  And so on and so on!  I just hope to get through this as fast as I can.  I want all of the stuff that is necessary before I leave to get done.  I worry that my wife will collapse under the pressure of raising two kids without me, plus try to get through nursing school.  I can’t believe I am leaving in 16-18 days (depending when my flight is).  And what is really weird is that I was supposed to leave on May 6th but I was pushed back!  At lease I got to see Reilly’s dance recital and have one last dance with her, and to play with my son a few more times.  I am reminded by my wife daily that I am going to miss the times that I had with my kids even if those times were frustrating.  I need to soak up every single minute I have because as of right now there are not that many left.  I have a great family and I am saddened that I have to leave them, this will be my first military experience with a family, before I was single without a care in the world.  Two more going away parties to go, one for work, and one for family and friends.  Well stay tuned for the next installment prior to my departure."

My First post!

My first post! I am soooo new to this blog thing so bear with, it will get better I promise. I am starting this blog mostly to keep Chris updated on the happening in AZ while he is away, but I would also love to share it with anybody else who wants to listen. There are going to be sad days and happy days, good days and days that I want to jump off a cliff and I guess this is the best way to share that with everybody! (Especially my hubby)
