Today is day 2 of R&R. We're just hanging out here in Neenah (I now know the answer to the question "Where the hell is Neenah?", hahaha). I can't imagine anything better in my life right now than spending these 2 weeks with my hubby.
So, his flight was LATE...not on it's own accord. He tried to get here earlier and switched flights. GREAT idea in theory. However, the plane that he had changed to required maintenance and he would have been stuck in Atlanta until Sunday...so he got a seat on a flight into Minneapolis ---first class!--- and arrived in Green Bay at 10:30 pm. It was the LONGEST DAY of my life!
I have NEVER gotten butterflies about homecoming before, but I was nervous. Last R&R, his parents were at Fort Campbell, and that was priority. First homecoming, I didn't know what to expect. Last homecoming, I was up to my ears in FRG responsibilities. So this know-how-it-happens and no-responsibilities had me in touch with my feelings about it...and yup, I was nervous. And over tired. I don't know if I slept at all between when he called from Kuwait and when we hit the hotel here. Okay, 10 to 40 minutes here or there, but that a full night of sleep does NOT make! I was exhausted!
So far we've spent 2 nights here in Neenah. We've had the chance to try out a pizza joint here...Cranky Pat's. MMMMMMMMM....that's pretty much all I've got! We've walked in some beautiful weather during the day...makes me want to drive up and walk around Door County this coming week. Maybe we will! Who knows. Yesterday we hung out in the pool...today, the pool is closed. I'm actually NOT happy with the staff here at the Days Inn. They spend a lot of time sitting in the breakfast daybreak area and not a lot of time working. I don't know why the pool that I searched so hard for is closed, but they are not doing a damn thing to get it back open for my vacationing butt. *sigh*...I'm not happy about it.
Tomorrow morning, we head back to Green Bay for the rest of R&R. Next weekend is already full...fish with Mom on Friday; baptism preparations and a Gamblers home game on Saturday; baptism and Packer game on Sunday. The following weekend is an early Halloween party on Friday night with the girls; an early birthday celebration for Neil on Saturday; and R&R is over already on Sunday morning. *sigh* Our vacation is MUCH too short!
But I am enjoying every minute with Neil while he's here. I have learned not to take any of it for granted. So, as the Packer game winds down with 8:57 left in the game, I am going to go curl up with my handsome, sexy hubby.
Life is good!
