Another Pass

Michael came home again on pass this weekend. I get this anxious feeling close to the 2-week mark, which I usually get a little more stressed and more sad. I am used to the 2-week schools and training he does and so it's been nice that he's been getting a pass every couple of weeks. The weekend is just not long enough before he has to return. It will be hard when it won't be home every 2 weeks. But the weekend went well. He was released on Friday evening so we went to visit his parents. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing in the house, watching t.v. and playing games; just enjoying having each other for the time. Sundays are always difficult for me, I hate saying good-bye and dropping him off and coming home without him. But this time I only have to say good-bye for a few days. He goes back on pass on Thursday, this time for a 4-day pass. It will be his last before being sent up to Ft. McCoy, WI. So while it was hard, and I'm putting off going to sleep in that big empty bed, it's only a few days.

To end, the dogs enjoyed having their daddy home. Of course Sammy cried when he walked in the door. For those of you that don't know her, she literally cries out loud. It's horrible and strange. But then again, she also talks back. The bed was slightly more crowded than usual, Benny was unsure where to lie and at one point I woke up to him lying across my pillow. But I think we can all agree, that it was wonderful to have the bed so full.
