So I just finished reading a blog that my husband posted on Facebook for all his friends to see and read. He recently traveled to Cox's Bazaar in the country of Bangladesh to visit some medical clinics that are being funded by the U.S. He also did a little sight-seeing and was able to visit some of the Buddhist Temples, where he was blessed by a monk for his travels over the next year and to return home safely. I have to say, I like the monk and what he did for my husband. Reading about his travels is both exciting and melancholy. I am excited that he gets to see these places and is learning so much about the culture within his area of focus, however; I am melancholy simply because I am not there with him to see and experience everything for myself. I don't mind reading about all of it, but it sure isn't the same when one actually experiences it on their own.
Allow me to give a brief introduction about my husband. His name is Pat and he is a career military officer that is a 48D. What is a 48D? No, it isn't a bra size, although for some I am sure it is, but in his case...it is his official job. I will not explain to you exactly what he is or what he does because I really don't know who all is reading this, just know that he is doing good things in the world and he is enjoying what he does. He does a lot of traveling throughout Asia and other specific areas, which you will not be informed of. He is currently stationed overseas for his assignment and we're about 6 weeks in on a year + deployment, give or take a little time there.
Over the next few weeks, he will begin his actual assignment and hopefully, time will move by a little more quickly for him. In that same time, my kids will be gearing up for their Spring Break and I'll be focusing on where I am going to take them. Right now I am planning on going to Omaha to visit some friends of ours, but they have had some family issues come up that may require them to go back to California for some time. So right now I have no definitive plans to do anything. Although it would be nice to go see a beach somewhere!
Okay, for now I am going to call it and go finish straightening up my house. I still need to mop the floors and get some items out of the house and into storage so I can put bookcases together and get my office officially done so it doesn't feel like constant chaos. Everyone have a great day and I'll catch you on the flip side!
