Lonely Tonight....

I'm sitting here on the couch by myself for the first time in a week. My dad & Ann just left to go home to California today and the house is feeling pretty quiet and empty even though the dryer, dishwasher and television are all rattling away and I have a dog snoring on either side of me. Funny how that happens.

I think I'm a little depressed too because it was a beautiful spring day today- sunny and almost 70 degrees. I drove home from work with the windows down and the sunroof open. Why would this make me depressed you ask? Because by 5pm the temperature had dropped 25 degrees, the winds are now gusting at upwards of 20mph and it's raining... AGAIN! Ugggg!

Thankfully Ally and I have a fairly busy weekend planned with lots of errand to run. Hopefully the time will pass quickly and we'll be a few days closer to Matthew's return.

Speaking of Matthew, I have to brag here for just a second.... he had a big oral board today to test his operating knowledge of the Combat Information Center on the ship. The past 6 or 7 guys that have held his position have failed the board on the first try but he passed it with flying colors! I'm so proud and he is so relieved! WoooHooo- way to go honey!

What would a post be without a picture or two of Allison?

Here we are enjoying a brief moment of sunshine on the deck.

Post blowout picture- hence the lack of pants!

Ally had just woken up from her nap here and she was sporting some crazy hair and two lovely sleep marks on her forehead. BIG YAWN!!

Now she's perking up a little bit!

Enjoy your weekend- thanks for checking in with us!
