Day 275: Visitation and relaxation

03/24/2012

Today has been a great but busy day. This morning I went to the reintegration training in preparation for Ian coming home. I was able to get the girls to their camp this morning before going to the training, so the only one I had to have with me was Daniel. I was really surprised, he did really well. He behaved the whole time and kept himself entertained with the various things I brought for him. At the end of the training, he knew he would start talking to the various soldiers and proceeded to entertain them with his usual antics. It was fun to watch and listen to and the soldier thought it was funny.

After the training, I came home and Daniel and I worked on some of the house and got bags packed for him and the girls to stay the night with their grandpa and grandma. Then we went and picked up the girls and drove to meet my parents halfway between the airport and us for dinner. It was a great little reunion and the kids had a blast. Once we got back on the road, the kids rode with my parents and I drove back by myself. We got to the hotel and the kids were excited to be able to hang out. I left them a little while later and went to the movies with a friend. It was fun and relaxing. It was the first night away from the kids in mover a month and it was much needed. So, here I am, settling into bed, it is quiet and I am alone in the house. I am going to get up in the morning and head back out to the hotel to spend the day with my parents. I can't wait to have some one-on-one time with my mom.

We are getting closer everyday to seeing my husband again. It is great to see that time really is passing and we are almost there.
