I just wrote a long post, and then accidently deleted it, and the stupid auto-save ruined it! :`(
Basically, just saying that the first week of no contact is always the hardest, but now that its over, I should be fine. I really look forward to seeing Aaron and being a family again, in our own house, even in North Carolina. The best thing from yesterday, and really the whole weekend, was when David G. called me. He had just ran into Aaron at Camp McKall. He said Aaron was happy, doing very well, and that their first mission went off with no problems and that it was really easy. I guess this week they are out in lock-down for the planning for their major infield operation or whatever. I don't really remember all the terminology. Any way, and then they run the mission starting this weekend, and then finish and are done! He also said I could write him a personal letter and E-mail it to him and that he would show him if he runs into him again the following Sunday, so I will probably do that. I was so happy after I heard all the great news. The only not-so-great news was that guys that had graduated in May were still waiting for their orders, because they are back-logged...Basically that just means that even after Aaron graduates we will have an undetermined number of months of more waiting. Hopefully, we will at least be told where we can expect to be going, but who knows!
Sunday Collen and the babes and I went to McDonalds to meet up with Tony's wife Ann and their 2 kids. They have gotten SO big! Its been at least 5 years since I have seen any of them. Ann looked great as always, and their kids, Alina (age 7), and Ian (age 9) were really cute and funny! We just got some food, I ate my entire value meal, soda and fries and all! And I never did run yesterday either...but, heck I am still breastfeeding like a champ, so its actually not a bad thing to consume about 1000 calories in one sitting! haha.
As a side note, I was able to gain back a few pounds. I weight myself like twice a week, and I seem to fluctuate between 120-123. For now, I think that is fine. I mean, I wouldn't mind weighing less, but I think Layla would, since I wouldn't be making enough milk and she rarely takes a bottle. In fact, I don't know if she even still will? With my luck, probably not. Oh well, its not like I plan on going back to work anytime soon. I had my opportunity to do it here with free child care, and I couldn't care less.
Saturday we went to Mary's pool. We had fun, Kelly really hates the pool this summer. She just wears her life vest all day and refuses to get into the water. I kind of force her in and she holds onto me for dear life, never really so much as cracking a smile. I don't get it, she loves baths, and loved the ocean and the pool last summer? Probably just a toddler thing. I did hold her once and jump in and went under water, but I think she maybe slightly enjoyed it? haha...one day she will be a fish, like most kids are at the pool!
Its been a totally busy day already, walked to the YMCA, ran 6 miles whiles the babes played in child watch, took Kelly to Speech Therapy, went to pick up Ryan from summer school (he is taking chemistry to get ahead), came home. Meanwhile the painters are here painting the outside of the house (its going to look awesome!), and I have PT at 4:15. We leave a week from tomorrow, and we will have full-full days until we go!
