I am SO thankful for a day off of work, and a day to just relax with our sweet pup! She's recovering well from her spay appointment, but we had a rough night last night -- up and down with pain and recovery. We are both snoozing a ton today!
My husband's travels are going well. He is in good spirits, and is safe and sound at his stop for now! He shared this short "journaling" to me via email while in flight across the big blue ocean, and let me share...
I thought I'd write a journal on my first real international flight. We are currently in the air traveling roughly 600 mph - I know, more information than you need. Plane ride is around 6 hours and when we land we will be 12 hours ahead of you. Getting ready to eat a "hot" dinner -- chicken/beef with greenbeans and mashed potatoes - not quite sure what I will pick yet. I can't believe the support we have received at every stop so far. We had a full police escort along with the 'freedom rider' motorcycle gang. It was absolutely phenomenal. I have never felt so humbled and honored in my life. We walked into the hanger and there were a hundred volunteers, active duty, and veterans. They were handing out care packages, as well as sharing stories and getting to know us. I didn't even want to talk - actually, I couldn't talk (too overwhelmed by emotions). When we were finally ready to leave the hanger and board the plane, they lined up on each side of the walkway with American flags and wanted to shake each and every hand that was walking through.
I'm so thankful for so much support for our American troops! He's always been my hero. <3
