Week 30!

Chris has been gone for 30 weeks... Geeze. I remember doing 6 and 8 week roundups and now we are to #30! Basically it has been 7 months since Chris left for Afghanistan and we are still going strong here at home and overseas. We are counting down the final weeks until he leaves Afghanistan and we prepare to wrap up the summer by staying busy in the month of August. Last week Audrey and  I spent some time on bike rides and at the zoo to keep busy.

After a hot day at the zoo she dumped a water bottle on her head when we got to the car. Oh well, it was pretty warm that day!

It is looking like Chris will leave Afghanistan during the second week of September (hopefully) So within the next 2 months he will be home :)) Tomorrow starts August which is huge! This is the last full month that Chris will be gone. We do not know exactly when he will be home in September but he WILL be home in September so just knowing that we have to get through August is so exciting! We have made it this far, one more month is nothing :)) To think that we are thinking about homecoming and talking about it in a matter of weeks brings tears to my eyes. It is getting so close but we still have some work to do! Chris and his guys have to still finish out their jobs overseas and Audrey and  I will be keeping busy this month as well.

I believe we may have found a house which is exciting! Finding/buying a house is the most stressful process ever. Especially when I don't have Chris here to help me make a decision. But I think we have decided on one so we will see if all goes well we will be homeowners before we know it! Also, fall classes start in a few weeks so that will start another hectic schedule. But that just means that we are getting closer to Chris coming home. So 7 months over!! What a long road this has been but it is almost over :))
