TGIF

Phew...what a week it has been here!! It started on Tuesday with Kerrick getting his shots. Then that evening we get home from work/school and Jason tells us that he had to meet with his Captain at lunch. It was not quite what he wanted for lunch as he found out he will be deploying very soon. We were both shocked as he accepted this job here thinking it is a special duty and he would not have to deploy only to get assigned 6 months after arriving....if we would have known that we would have second guessed coming out here and just stayed in Virginia. But oh well, it is what it is and we will move on and get through it like we have the other deployments!
Then on Wednesday Kerrick's school and a lot of San Antonio, lose power due to blackouts the power company was doing to help conserve energy with everyone running their heaters with this unusally cold weather. So long story short, J had to get out of class as they were unable to reach me, go get Kerrick and come home to a cold house as our power was out at home for a while as well. He and Kerrick then decided to head to Austin in which they went to Brad and Kelly's house for the rest of the day so Jason could finish his 50 minute presentation that was due on Thursday. Mind you - he only had Wednesday to prepare the speech and practice it - CRAZINESS!! So thankfully one of his classmates was nice and took Jason's spot for speaking yesterday and he was to go first this morning. Well, we woke up to a dusting of snow and everyone is on late reporting or until further notice. I know Jason just wants to get there and get the speech over with...so we shall see what the rest of the day brings. But for now, I am enjoying the extra time to get a few things done around the house so we can hang out over the weekend!!
Hope you all have a good weekend thanks for reading my venting blog. We will keep you posted on J's deployment and such as we find out more information. He has one more week of this class he is in and then will head back to his job and will find out more info at that time!!
