I had such a great time going to visit the main campus this week! There were so many high lights. I got to visit my friend Heidi (for the first time in 11 years) since she lives so close by to the campus. (My boss was very kind to allow me to fly in a couple of days early so that I could spend some time with her family.) It was so great to catch up with her. Her kids are so sweet and well mannered. I'm glad that we have stayed in touch so that I could take advantage of an opportunity to see her again. I also had the opportunity (again, thanks to my awesome boss) to present military coin displays to both the President and Provost of the University. It was such a great experience. We had a golf tournament that was SO much fun. We played best ball, and I was blessed to be placed on a team with Vern, who is an amazing golfer. He coaches at the Jr. High level, so he was perfect for me! I seriously loved it, though. I had taken a semester of golf my Sr. year of high school and hadn't done it since, so I had very low expectations. I love the group I work with! We almost never get to see each other, though. The closest we come to interaction is email and conference calls. So when we get together, we are like a bunch of teenagers staying up into the wee hours talking and laughing. We worked hard and played hard...and now I am paying the price...I need a nap!
This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).
