Almost Done!

It's Sunday, May 17th and it's kind of dreary today.  It's been raining all night, but hopefully it'll taper off this afternoon and give us a little sunshine.  :)  It's hard to believe so much time as passed, but we are FINALLY almost done with this deployment!  I am SO excited and relieved to have him home, but at the same time, I'm stressed out with trying to get ready for our move.  I hurt my back over April vacation and it's still not better.  I went to the doctor's too, but she said exactly what I thought she'd say - let it rest, don't pull on things, use heat and take advil.  She also gave me a muscle relaxer, but it doesn't seem to help other than put me to sleep.  :)  And we all know that's not a good thing when I'm the only one here (A MOTHER'S WORK IS NEVER DONE).  So, if it's still bothering me in a month, when we get to Colorado, I'll go back to see a doctor and maybe get an MRI.  

But on a more positive note, the kids and I will be driving to Norfolk at the end of this week to pick up Gary from the airport.  His estimated date of departure from Kuwait (yes! he's in Kuwait now!) will most likely put him arriving in Norfolk on Saturday and he can't check out of NMPS or on leave until Tuesday (when people are at work).  So instead of letting him sit around by himself for three days, we decided to meet him and spend some time with Daddy.  :)  Yay!  All I can ask for now is a prayer to keep him safe until he gets here!
