Looking Ahead

The next few weeks are going to be so busy. I work almost every night between now and when teachers head back to school, not to mention coaching field hockey starts this Saturday. My classes also start the first week in September. I know, I thought after getting my Master's last December I would be finished for awhile, but that was before I received FREE money as a spouse of a deployed soldier to take classes. This money will allow me to get my +15 credits, which is another jump on the pay scale, and I can't waste that! That means my nights and part of my weekends are consumed for the next two months or so.

Of course, Michael will be coming home in a few weeks, which I can't WAIT for. I can't believe we only have 7 1/2 more weeks to go. I don't know if I have full realized that I won't be ALONE anymore. I have waited for this for a long time. This means I have my husband back! The first weekend he is home, we were going to run the Army Ten Miler, but due to not knowing exactly when he will be home, we decided to transfer our bibs to someone who will definitely be able to run it. Instead, we have decided for a weekend getaway. Just us, no phones, no technology, just a chance to be together again. I couldn't ask for anything more. Location and details to follow once we figure them out!

In November we are heading to our favorite place on Earth... DISNEY! They are offering a ticket special for military personnel. Michael's five day ticket is FREE, and my five day ticket is only $125. How can you beat that? Since we both have Disney credit cards (did I mention we LOVE Disney) we have so many points racked up our trip is basically free. His family is also headed there with us, so it's not just us, but we will still have an amazing time.

Now if I can just get through the month of August, which seems to be dragging.
