Today's Quote: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
- Aristotle
Lesson Learned: Everything is easier if you are ultra-organized.
This journey began when DH completed his Active Duty commitment to the USMC. Little did I realize that My Marine should have been a "lifer." Instead, we married (Yes, yes, with him in his Dress Blues!), he completed his obligation to the USMC, raised a family, had the same address for a decade or so, celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary... and then he announced he was joining the National Guard and was going to volunteer for deployment to the Middle East. (OK, yes, this is an overly simplistic chain of events. And I left out all of my yelling and tears and oft repeted, "You're doing what?!")
So now he's running around and getting dental exams and imunizations and I am filling out paperwork by the ream and we are all "Hurry Up And Wait." And, while we are now committed (I don't think Uncle Sam is letting us out of the contract now!), we keep looking at eachother and saying, "What have we done!"
So The Adventure Begins...
