I am teaching a class on blogs at Groton Public Library!

Life is back to normal...whatever that is!

Mark returned home from Afghanistan on May 13th. We took a 3 week trip to see all of our family in the Midwest and then spent a week in Mexico relaxing. The Mayan Riviera was the perfect place for Mark to 'decompress', catch up on sleep, and have fun adventures.
Now Mark is back to work and we are enjoying getting into a regular routine together.

Mark's Coming Home, Finally!

In less than a month, Mark will be home! Of course, plans are always subject to change with the military, but he is scheduled to be here before the middle of May :) We plan to hang out at home for a week or so and let him readjust to 'normal' life, then head to the Midwest. We will do one of our driving trips to see family and friends in IL, IN, and TN before taking a 'real' vacation to a beach!

2010, finally!

Well, 2009 was not our year, but I am determined that 2010 will be better! We are looking forward to Mark coming home late Spring and being back on shore duty for two years here in CT. He is still in Afghanistan and has switched from running the galley to working in the detention center with the detainees.
In the meantime, I am trying to stay busy with work, the dogs, and traveling as much as possible. Anyone want to come visit?
