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.

Back home

Abigail and I have arrived back home in Hawaii safe and sound. It's good to be back in our house and not living out of a suitcase anymore but we've really gotten used to having extra help and company. We loved our visit to Michigan and Abigail misses all of you. Hopefully we'll be seeing you guys again in the next couple months. You wouldn't think a month in Michigan would make you forget what it's like in Hawaii but somehow I can't believe how gorgeous everything is and how beautiful the weather is. Sorry that you have to miss this Wil - it looks like spring is a great time to be in Hawaii, sunny days with cool tropical breezes in abundance. For those of you who aren't counting Wil's deployment is now 40% over - I found a gadget from google that does a neat countdown but I can't get it to work on the blog. I will be posting more pictures soon but first I have to finish the dreaded unpacking.
