Today has been a great day. I got up this morning, had breakfast, and my coffee. Then, I went to the seminar part of the retreat. It was pretty good. We talked about how we are doing and then discussed the 5 love languages and how we use them in the deployment. It was shorter than I wanted, but nice to talk to other spouses. The chaplain let us go for lunch, and I was on my own again. I had lunch by myself and then decided that I would really enjoy this trip. I had my first relaxing massage ever. It was quite the treat. The lady was really awesome and I was able to relax even more after the massage. I went to the "slumber lounge" and rested in a chaise lounge chair. It was comfy and I fell asleep for a few minutes. Then I decided to come back to my room and take a nap. It was beautiful. I got to take a very nice 2 hour nap and was able to wake up refreshed. I then went to the mall and did a little shopping. I was going to watch a movie but decided to hang out and watch some TV and relax at the room instead.
I talked to my kids tonight to see how they are doing. They are having a blast with their friends. The girls could care less about talking to me, they wanted to keep playing with their friends. Daniel was his usual talkative self. He told me about everything, though I couldn't really understand him. I caught a few funny statements of his, which made me laugh and miss him and his sense of humor.
Even though I have missed my kids terribly, this weekend has been just the recharge that I have needed. I am looking forward to heading home tomorrow and giving my kids a big hug and kiss and ready to take on the last 5 months of this deployment. Getting through it one day at a time.
