'Family Day'

So, there's a "Family Day" at the base before the guys leave the US for Iraq...and Spouse asked if we'd think of coming. And i don't really want to, and neither does my oldest. We already said goodbye, I don't see the need to spend $2,000 to do it again.

I don't know, i can understand that he's finally realizing what is really going to happen and wants to see us. But my brain says that's his problem, not mine, and if he wants to see us he can just get on a plane and come home!
Drag the kids clear to Mississippi to do it all over again, nope. I already had to cope with sobbing children when i wanted to cry myself. We're finally sorta getting settled into life w/o him. Gee, I'm sorry if he misses us and now realizes that the fact that he may not come home is very real. He should have thought of that when he re-enlisted in August, during a war, against my wishes.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow they take my hubby away from us :-(. He'll be in the states still for a while, but it's not the same.

Puerto Rico pictures

Just a few pictures, because they didnt show up in my last post for some reason.

Is it wrong?

Is it wrong to hope he gets tossed out on Medical when they test him in Gulfport? I want it so badly. He'd be upset, but the 'retirement' means nothing to me.
Oh, BTW, we're home from vacation. Puerto Rico is very hot and sticky but very beautiful.
I hope we get to go again sometime, because it would mean he came home from Iraq ok. It was sad to see people whom we may never see again. No one said it, but i know they all were thinking it. I just can't picture myself taking the kids back w/o him, I just couldn't continue teaching them about that part of who they are.
