6 Weeks

We're starting to wind down. There are only about 6 weeks left to this deployment. I think everyone is ready to be done. I don't have much to say about it. Below is the picture we took the day he left. Hopefully we'll be able to get another one when he gets back. It would be nice if the next 6 weeks went really fast.

BBQ

So I'm planning on having a little barbecue tomorrow to kick off summer. However, it must have slipped my mind that I am in Washington. Summer is the shortest season of the year and of course it hasn't felt like spring so we have even less hope of it feeling like summer. The news said that Alaska has hit 75 degrees 3 times this year already and Denver over 20 times. Seattle...0 We have yet to break 75. Tomorrow was supposed to be 70 and partly sunny (the best that we can get at this point) so I thought 'Great day for some kabobs and wine'. Unfortunately, the weather man was wrong and now we're expecting mid 60's and showers on and off. Despite the terrible change in the forecast, I will be hosting a barbecue. I made a dozen or so mini hamburger cupcakes to try to coax summer out of hiding. Here you go summer. Burgers!!!

Allison's Bachelorette Party

I went back to NJ for my sister's bachelorette party. We had a lot of fun. Of course I got to be the mom of the night on Saturday because nobody else was in any position to focus on what needed to be done. We had a bbq Friday night, went to the beach Saturday and out to dinner and a bar that night. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Next stop...the wedding!
