LIke: I get to see my family in about 9 days! I haven't seen them since I went up for mom's funeral three years ago, although my dad did stop by for a night on his way back up a couple weeks ago. I am so excited! I get to see my nephews and be there for when they open their presents I got them (a marshmallow blaster and a beanbag launcher. fun shit). Also in other good news, a connection with one of the navy wives has worked out great, and I will be starting my observation hours when I get back from Ohio. 
Also!!! We are past the halfway mark for Noah coming home!

Also!!! We are past the halfway mark for Noah coming home!
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
