One Year Anniversary

Today marks one year that Mario has been home from Afghanistan. It has gone really fast, but I know if he had been gone for that year, the time would have dragged.

We got to celebrate the year anniversary today by doing absolutely nothing. His work has an exercise this week so he has to work the night shift starting tonight. So we had all day while the kids were at school to just relax and we got absolutely nothing accomplished. It was great having a nice quiet house. It reminded me of our college days. At the time, we thought those days were tough, but now we realize those were a piece of cake.

His next assignment will hopefully be a joint so he won't have to deploy for those 3 years. Then he'll only have 3 more years until retirement.

I'm glad you both had a relaxing day. You both deserve it.

I LOVE days like that with Josh! So glad Mario is home with you guys and probably won't have to deploy in the near future!
