My dh works for The Man. We are stationed overseas and have been for 2 years now. In the 2 years we have been here we have traveled to other military bases in the country and had a baby.

This month my mom and bro are coming to visit. That means that October is TRAVEL MONTH!!! Travel plans include London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris and perhaps a quick jaunt to Amsterdam or Rome.
Or, maybe not. Instead, my husband was informed 12 days ago that he had to leave on October 1 to be in Germany for a class for 6 weeks.

Now travel month will include a trip to a military base in Germany for a quick weekend to see my dh, alone.

I am almost convinced the military bugs our houses to see when we have made plans that they can ruin. On the upside, for 3 of the 6 weeks that dh is gone, mom will be here. Her help will be invaluable for keeping my sanity. I really don't think we could have planned it better if we had been given the opportunity.

I was really looking forward to seeing some sights finally, but this class is needed to make rank and my support system here is magnificent...It could have been worse. Only a year left. We really need to get a move on it.
