July 2008

Crazy trip: Tommy, Coop and I drove (Tommy drove, we slept) from Charleston to Virginia to see Mammy,who has been having some trouble getting around lately. Spent the night at her house, which her made her day to see her favorite grandson, and then drove to the lakehouse in New York for the 4th of July! Lots of fireworks, scary bonfires and some much needed relaxation... Got back in the car and made it to Virginia for another night with Tommy's grandmother and returned to Charleston Monday afternoon for Tommy to spend 18 hours home (enough time to cut the grass, 4 loads of laundry and a few minutes in his favorite spot on the couch)

So, Tommy left on Tuesday, July 8th for Oklahoma...for 4 weeks :( He will be at Altus Air Force Base for Instructor Pilot upgrade, which seems like a big deal to me but what do I know??
He is suppose to be home mid-August for about 10 days to 2 weeks and then he is headed to the desert for a 2 month deployment...boo. The good news is that he will not have to be gone over the holidays, although he WILL be missing the very important start of college football season which I am totally sad about! That is my absolute favorite time of the year! I guess I will be sitting around on Saturdays, eating Rotel and watching by myself.

So for the next 4 months or so, I will be trying to keep myself busy at the store (to make time go by faster) and wishing my summer away just to see him and have him home. Feel free to plan a trip to Charleston to come see me!

Hope everyone has a great summer and please keep Tommy in your prayers for safe travels!
