The kids and I made our first trip back to the states in nearly three years! We had a great time and collected the spouse. Here are a few pictures along with a few highlights of this little adventure.

I had an awesome trip back to the states! As you can see, I was really slacking on taking pictures and really wish I had done a better job of taking pictures of Tammy, Michael and Paul. Tammy drove 11 hours to take care of the kids for me while I was in training. She was very nice about it but I imagine my kids drove her bonkers. She has officially earned the title of Best Sister in the World! Although I was busy for the most part, I was able to fit in some shopping and visiting with the family. Oh, and Charlie found a Chic-Fil-A as soon as he picked us up from the airport! The last day was just me and the kids and we had a fun day of sightseeing and skating. I will say that I had some serious issues with keys on this trip, but thankfully my prayers were answered each time.
Now that we have the graduation behind us, we are busy preparing for our new and exciting post. I'll probably not update until we have relocated.
