Things have been pretty busy for the Dyer household for the last few months. Christmas break (3 week lovely vacation) was spent in Maine visiting Jon's side of the family. It was filled with excellent food, awesome company, and lots of family.
Once the new year began and we returned to Germany, reality hit big time. Our countdown began for Jon's 'business' trip aka deployment. We had a couple of delays and Jon's departure date kept being pushed back. For those of you who know me pretty well, I like to have a solid picture of dates, schedules, and timelines. But with Army life, you just have to throw you hands up in the air and declare submission to what the Army needs.
The original plan was for Jon to leave about a week before I left for Kuwait to stay with my family. Well, his date got pushed back so that he was going to leave the day before I left. I told Jon very seriously that he wasn't allowed to be pushed any further back. Ya, that didn't work out either. So I ended up going to Kuwait and left Jon home for another week by himself. Believe me, I wasn't too thrilled but luckily we have some good friends in our area who promised to feed Jon and look out for him.
I can now say that I have made it through the 1st month...hooray! My goal for this extended absence is to stay positive no matter what. I'm doing good so far, minus one little meltdown...it happens to the best of us :)
When I came to Kuwait I was very limited in baggage capacity so I wasn't able to pack a camera....bites doesn't it. Oh well. Luckily I have a wonderful sister-in-law who is very talented behind the lense. She took the below picture while we were in Maine.
