Chris arrived safely in Kuwait. He emailed yesterday and called last night. His life is again a bit restricted at this point, but he seemed in really good spirits. They had some difficulty with the phone lines, so each person is allowed two 30 minute phone calls per week with limited access to the internet each day. Much more restricted communication than I was prepared for considering when he was stationed in Saudia Arabia years ago, he called me every night. I miss not talking to him and seeing him, but I am relieved to know the countdown has begun. He will be in Kuwait for one week to complete training and then will proceed from there.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
