So we finally got some good news on the job front--Adam received orders from the Army that have him reporting to Ft. Hood, TX for a one-year assignment with their JAG corps. We are very excited by this news as we've been pinching pennies and living without health insurance--a very scary predicament when you have an infant--for too long. Of course, this good news also brings some challenges; Adam is driving down by himself, and won't be able to return to move Bryony and me for a couple months. Adam and I are used to being separated because of military deployments, but we've never had to endure it in the time since we've been parents. To be honest, I'm a little anxious about the idea of being completely on my own with the wee one for two months. And I'm really going to miss my husband, particularly since I don't sleep very well when he's away. But on the other hand, I'm looking forward to organizing the house the exact way that I want it. It's the little things, I guess.
We met friends at the local sports bar tonight to send Adam off over beers (he leaves tomorrow). It was really nice to have so many folks come out to wish him well. We really have made some great connections here in this little old town. We've sort of made a family here, and we're going to miss them dearly.
Thanks, y'all.
