October 3. This is the day the unit is having their deployment ceremony. I guess the time is getting close if they are planning that :( Michael was mad at me because I questioned their venue choice but I feel as though it was a legit concern. They have decided to have the ceremony in an area where there is no parking. With at least 115 members in the unit, there has to be at least 500 friends and family attending. Instead, these family and friends should park about 5 minutes away and will be bused to the location. To me this is a waste of time. Do they have any idea how long this is going to take. Let's pray they are smart enough to have more then one bus. What about people who are late? Are they going to continuously run buses? Why wouldn't they just have the ceremony in an area where there is parking and seating for the elderly. (They have to bring in chairs as there is no seating either). Leave it to the Army to plan this event. Did they think of all the logistical nightmares this plan entails? The OCD in me cringes at the very thought of it. Now granted, Michael informed me this location was chosen because of its significance - the unit was started in this area. But at the end of the day, who is really going to care about this fact? Not me.
Meanwhile, on a lighter note, I have cooked dinner for the second night in a row! Lasagna, from scratch none the less. Even my cooking goddess, Robin was impressed when she phoned from N.C. I still can't decorate a cake as good as she can though!
It is also Mom and Pop's Anniversary! Happy 31st and many more. We love you!
