That is wonderful, Sarah. It's good that things are coming together so well.

After a week of being with my grandma and wondering if she was even going to make it through all she's going through... she is doing much better today!!! SHe is 87, broke some bones, and has double pnemonia (spelling?). On Monday, when I saw her, she looked like she was literally dying. She had to have two surgeries in the last week on her leg, the first surgery failed because her bones are so soft and all the pins, screws, and plate seperated from her bone. Please pray that this second surgery will be a success and that everything will stay in place!!! She is talking more to us today than she has all week and she loves to see Noah. I am so glad that her spirits have been lifted, what a change from what we saw on Monday! Next week she will be moved to a (stinky) nursing home. Pray that she will work hard to recover so she can return to her cute little apartment/room at an assisted living place. I'm hoping to start my return home tomorrow and actually get home on Monday if my grandma keeps doing well and is stable. My DH is stressed with me gone  Glad he enjoys me home, but his stress wears on me! All this time at the hospital is wearing on me too, I really enjoy being here to help, but I am ready to go home, too.

I'm glad your grandma is doing better and hope that she continues to improve. I know the situation with my mom was different because she's just in her late 70's, but there were many times that I thought mom was not going to make it. Now she's back on her own and even helping to watch her great grandkids. I hope your grandmother will be able to make a complete recovery too.

What/where is White Castle?
White Castle is a burger place. They are mostly in the midwest I think. In Arizona and California they had frozen burgers at the grocery stores.

Is Ash's hair red now, or is Erin's black? I don't think they look or sound alike at all, so I find this happening very strange! LOL

They both have the same color hair they did when you saw them. I don't get it either.

Weird.
Well, Nate and I went to the store and got seeds, but apparently we are really late in the game because I have to make do with only basil as far as herbs go. We did get cat grass, pole beans, sunflowers and lettuce (which doesn't grow well here but will grow well enough to feed his parakeet, which is why we bought it--they can't have storebought, lol).
Brandon is at the library with his spinning friends.
It is such a dreary day today! We have all the lamps on and everything.

LOL that sounds like something that would happen in my house. Good thing we took our dog home or she'd be in there with them.

Brandon now has a flat inflatable on the ground, so he can lay on that, and he has made a lean-to with a PVC pipe, his raft and his emergency blanket. DJ could lay in there, I am sure, lol.
Nate just made his first batch of corn bread...well, it still has to bake, lol. We are having that with our mexican chili beans for dinner, and sundaes for dessert. We have a Monk DVD and a Dr. Quinn DVD and it should be quite a nice evening...other than having to watch it over the refugee camp on my floor!

ANY ADVICE SARAH? I mean he is supposed to leave mid September- Was I totally in lala land allowing myself to believe that I'd be able to have him here til then? Should I have told myself to back the date given up by 2 months? I wish I had of. I knew that for an 8 week deployment it was 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after for the pack up, rail head and then the unpack and clean up stuff in AK. I should have known this would be similar and it being MONTHS instead of WEEKS planned accordingly. I feel rather STUPID right now for allowing myself to think my husband was my own until --- date.
nah...you weren't stupid....just hopeful...in a round about way. You know the Army...everything is subject to change, even if orders have been written. Just think of it this way...the sooner he leaves the sooner you can get him back!!! We knew a year out about our deployment and honestly it was horrible because we felt like we were living in limbo for that whole year...preparing for the following year. I would much prefer to not know that far out....get things going sooner...and get the OVER WITH sooner!!!

All I can say is that if he can't swing the first week only I know people in PA. and NY that will all be disappointed but not NEARLY as disappointed as my children who have been plotting and planning for a year.
Can you make the trip a different time? I'm sure Russ and Lisa would let you, and Sandy and I could still come over. Not the same, but...

Just to clarify- This is not a get him to Iraq get him home sooner type scenario... he is not leaving mid July for Iraq. AT = Annual Training. NORMALLY 2 weeks long but they are scheduling 3 weeks this go round because of the deployment. The unit he is going with is a Traditional National Guard Unit. One that meets once a month and 2 weeks(3 this year) a year. They have a full time core but it is a tiny number of folks.
yeah I understood that....but I still look at things like scheduling changes as "the sooner he goes the sooner he can check that one off and be back"
quote:
We won't even mention the fact that his current unit is doing AT for one week in the middle of June-
our anniversary is in the middle fo June, and most of them have been spent with him being gone to some kind of AT or field exercise. I joke that it was amazing he showed up to the wedding itself...lol

We are all just sitting on our butts and watching them expand by the minute. 
He has tried- he can't get out of it. He has asked to be allowed his own car for the trip(He could take me with him that way) Nope can't do it- cost of Gas. Carpooling in the government vehicles. If he were "someone else" you know- "not who he is" and not "Having to be the example" then he could say FINE I am driving my car anyway- see ya there! but No. 
) He waited til I left yesterday to bring the gear in. I guess he knew I'd double freak on him.
