Wow, I have so much news!! First of all, we mananged to find a tenant for our house in Omaha, which is super exciting. Selling up there in this market just was not going to be a good idea for us, so we placed the house on the rental market before I left. The tenants signed the lease today, and will be moving in around September 1st, which gives David plenty of time to move out. It's a wonderful development because it is the first step toward us being able to buy a house here...we can really get to house hunting now!!
Also, as some of you may have known, today was my first day of work as a Public Affairs Officer in the Florida Air National Guard. Since leaving College of Saint Mary in Omaha, I've had about a month off, and let me tell you...I got spoiled!! I didn't even work a full day today, and I'm pretty tired :). I guess being seven months pregnant in June in Florida will do that to you, though. I was up at the Wing Headquarters in Jacksonville, escorting media and taking part in a change of command ceremony, so I was on my feet and outside a lot, which probably didn't help. Other than that, it was a good day. My boss seems really nice and easy to get along with, and it was just so wonderful to be back in uniform...I really missed it and it was a good feeling to lace up those boots again! Tomorrow will probably be mostly an office day, just getting settled and meeting people. Wish me luck, since I'll probably be at this job for quite awhile, and I definitely dont want to let them down!
But enough about me and the house...I've been saving the best for last! The other exciting thing that happened today is that David finally got back home!!!! He's been gone for nearly three months, and he is so excited to be back on U.S. soil. He arrived back in Omaha this afternoon, and will spend the next couple of days inprocessing back to his unit and getting over his jetlag. Then he will make a trip down here to visit me, and hopefully to do that house hunting I mentioned earlier! I just can't wait to see him -- he's been gone so long and I've missed him so much, and I know he is excited about seeing me all huge (when he left, I was only about four months along...I'm MUCH bigger now!). Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words while he's been away...having such great family and friends really makes the difficult times easier.
Well, that's all to report for now (as if it isn't enough!). I have my next doctor's appointment in about a week, and I will be sure to post again then to let you all know how it goes. Love you all!
