First Stop on the Trip

Update: I did fix the GFCI!! I am so proud and all before leaving for Grandma's house.
Girl power, baby.
Anyway, we made the first leg of a 16 hour trip to my soldier's oldest sister's house in Nebraska. We arrived just in time for a wonderful dinner and relaxing evening. T-monkey took over the house and had so much fun that I forgot it was so late and just put her to bed 30 minutes ago! Football and Soccer were awesome and helpful and despite stopping for lunch at the most disgusting Wendy's on the face of the earth, we still managed to hang in there and have a few laughs. I'll try to send pictures once we make it to our final destination.
It's so good to be with family. My husband's family is wonderful and I am so blessed to have them. I think this trip is exactly what we needed to feel even closer to our soldier and to take our minds off the constant thoughts of him being absent in the home. I feel so loved and cared for and I can't tell you how much that is needed right now. They are all truly remarkable.
So I may or may not be able to write daily but I sure will try. Thanks for all of your encouraging words and for the tips on the electrical issues. Obviously, it helped!!
