No longer waiting on "the word"

Wil has arrived safely in Afghanistan, his mailing address has not changed, we weren't sure at first if it would or not. We are not sure how much access to the internet he's going to have or how reliable it will be. Hopefully we'll know more details soon including if this move will push back their return date.

In other news the weather has been beautiful here but very hot for two people coming back from Michigan. We went to the base pool the last two days and Abigail had so much fun in the kiddie pool there. They have a bunch of kid's life jackets that we used to go in the big pool but she wasn't as crazy about that. Probably because the water seems to be colder (a lot harder for the sun to heat up an olympic sized swimming pool as opposed to a ten foot kiddie pool) and she can't run around with the other kids there - she mostly clings tightly to my neck. I also got her signed up for her very first swimming lessons. It's a water babies class which will be mommy and me. She's up near the top age limit for the class but we've got a whole summer and if she does well in this class she can just take the level one class (which isn't mommy and me) later on.

For those of you who don't know that title is a joke the Alpha Co. wives had during TBS when our guys would be sitting around doing nothing at base waiting for "the word" that they were done for the day and could come home. It became a buzzword for our group.

Hey Krista! I don't have your email, could you email that to me? kimturner@hawaii.rr.com

We've started a yahoo group if you'd like to join. It's just a way to inform others of little outings we go on to see if others want to come along during the deployment. Optional! Thanks!
