Yesterday was Aaron’s birthday – and instead of spending the evening have dinner and cocktails with friends like we typically do, I watched a Nicholas Cage movie and folded laundry. There was also no cake which sucked. But I suppose this is just one of many special days of the deployment that will be spent doing average tasks instead of celebrating.
This past weekend I went to Cities and visited Amy (another Army wife). It was nice to chat with someone who “gets” what I’m going through. And we had a lot of fun too. We went to the MN State Fair and looked at all the neat fair stuff, watched a lamb being born - they had to reach in and straighten out the lamb’s legs and pull it out (really neat and slightly gross all at the same time).
One nice thing in my world is we’re beginning to change seasons. The evenings are starting to get to cool to leave the windows open all night, the trees are starting to take on more yellow green hues as they get ready to make their bold color change. Students start moving back to campus on Thursday. Summer is coming to a close and it’s time for autumn. The only thing that disappoints me about autumn is that it’s so short up here and you have to hurry up and enjoy it because winter will chase it out long before anybody is ready for it to leave.
370 days to go.
