Well, it's been a few BUSY days... here's what I've been up to...
1.) Still only "mostly" moved in. The interesting thing about storing your stuff at people's houses is remembering who has what.
2.) Finally got the washer and dryer hooked up. (I have clean clothes!!!) We only flooded the basement twice and lost three screws from the dryer (all found)
3.) Fixed the hot water heater today. Okay well I didn't fix it, but the water heater guy did. And yes, it still counts.
4.) We got hit by some monsoon (slight exaggeration...but only SLIGHT) that the weather man called a "tornado watch". (A tornado watch? Seriously?)
The downpour started around 2pm and it was the kind of rain you swear couldn't last longer than 15 minutes because it's coming down so hard and in such big drops. Yeah. 2 hours later, still going strong.
Speaking of time, Rob should be calling soon! (This is literally my favorite time of day). The most entertaining thing that's happened to him in Iraq so far is that they are trying to talk him into re-enlisting. We both had a nice long laugh over that... and then we shared some angry thoughts that aren't printable here. Yes folks, this may shock you but we plan to be free of the USMC as soon as humanly possible...and maybe even a little sooner.

I'm glad you are moved in, and yes that was a NASTY storm yesterday.
Danielle, the sacrifice you and Rob are making is very nobel, and I once again thank you both. The US Marine Corps is an amazing organization with a rich history of protecting human rights and freedom. I'm sure you long for Rob's return. But until then, rest assured that he is doing one of the most nobel deeds that anyone can do for others.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to elicit more thanks from civilians. We understand people appreciate all the sacrifices, etc. And we're both aware that the USMC accomplishes some amazing feats. (I grew up as a military brat- from a long line of military parents, grandparents, etc.)
We're just ready to be observers. :-)
...and maybe stay in the same location
Thanks again for the encouragement!
YOU were never a Brat! But you were a military dependent child :)
Big Hugs,
Mom :)
