I'm officially detached as of 12pm today from NPS. It was a great experience that I won't forget both from an intellectual standpoint and from the heavy dosage of family time. For a military family, 18 plus months with no deployment interruptions is awesome.
I don't report to DLI (Defense Language Institute) for Arabic until May 31 and don't start class until June 9th. So, in the words of one my old CO's Im "in the creases" of the Navy. They're paying me but I'm not doing squat.
Maybe Emma was just waiting for Daddy's schedule to free up? Well, I'm free! Come on, girl.
The weekend has been rough. Not that we should have or had any basis for it, but we all sort of had our hopes up for an early if not on time delivery. We seemed to have bounced back today as a family and had a good day of fun together. Aiden is always good for a few laughs! Emma will be here soon enough, I suppose.
until then, Salam. I'm going to go grow a beard for a few weeks.
Oh, and if you didn't catch it, my brother in law, Michael Dudley, is famous. Check him out here.
