Preparing for the Worst

both physically and emotionally

Wow! Italy seems like a lifetime ago already!  The last two weeks of leave, we spent together, not doing much but enjoying each other’s company as we won’t be able to for much longer.  Lately we’ve been making plans for Independence Day and it’s really making me appreciate my husband’s presence even more.  It’s also made me think about the countless soldiers and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice so our country can celebrate on the fourth of July, year after year.

Italy and all it’s wonders

or at least as many as we could take in, in a week.
Our vacation started off with a bang so to speak.  Not the exciting kind as one would hope for, but more of the shocking type that makes you worry that your vacation is now canceled.
