YEEHAW! I'm headin' home Friday!


After six weeks of anticipation, my orders finally arrived this weekend and I am leaving Bahrain on Friday bound for home. I will fly most of the day Friday and Saturday before finally arriving in Lubbock just after 6:00pm on the 11th. Although most of the administrative processes have been nothing short of a disaster up to this week, once my orders arrived everything fell into place. I am moving all my household goods on Tuesday, checking out of my flat on Wednesday, and heading to the airport Thursday evening (the plane leaves just after midnight).

I can't wait to see Amber and the kids. I hope that Skype has been effective in reinforcing to Nathan who I am. Even if it hasn't, he'll figure it out quickly. I am planning on staying in Lubbock about a week or ten days prior to driving to San Antonio and getting my LIMDU status rolling. If I don't see everyone on this first trip home, you'll have to forgive me because I really want to spend my time getting reacquainted with my little ones (and Amber too when she's not working herself to the bone in Hobbs)!
