So much going on…

Many important things are happening.  And I have no pictures, yet…

The first thing happening is that Tobin is ALMOST done with API!  He will graduate on Wednesday of next week.  I am so extremely proud of him; he spent so many late nights and early mornings studying for the first four weeks of API, and now he is in the last two “fun” weeks.  Today, he experienced the dunker; something like the back end of a helicopter that they fill with student navs and pilots and lower into a big pool.  Then they turn it on its side and upside down (somethin’ like that) and the ppl have to unbuckle themselves and get out.  The first time, they do it without blindfolds, and the second with.  I don’t know the whole story yet, but he passed!  Also, not sure if you all knew this or not, but he also did really well on the mile swim too.  He said he was swimming pretty close to an hour, and he never stopped!  He even put in a couple extra laps because he forgot to call out what lap he was on.  Ah!  Can’t even imagine…

The next important thing that is happening is that on Saturday, Tobin and I are going to visit our puppy (who is five weeks old today).    Pictures will be posted later!

The next important thing is that Betsey and Micah are visiting for spring break not this weekend but the next…and staying for a week!  PLUS, Tobin gets one free 5-day pass to Disney, and he was able to get discounted tickets for me, Betsey, and Micah; so we all chipped in our share and are going to Disney the 13th-18th!  We’ve never been (except maybe Micah???) and we’re SUPER excited!!!!  Should be loads of fun, will post pictures of that as well.

And the NEXT important thing…after Betsey and Micah leave, our Rose friends are coming to visit!  Yup, that very next week.  My roomies, Dani and KT, will be here; Tobin’s roommates, Brunner and Pattenaude, will be here; and our good friend Skul will be here too!  We will only be seeing most of them Thursday-Sunday, but Dani will be here all week!  Very excited, will post pictures of them too!

AND…we get to pick up our puppy in three weeks!  That’s the same weekend we have all of our roomies/friends in town, so we might wait a few days.  Getting close now!

Finally, we are looking forward to Tobin starting primary, and sooner than we thought.  Looks like it will be anywhere from 2-6 weeks after he finishes API.  Wow!  We thought we would be getting 2 months or so, considering the backup we have been hearing about from Navy and Marine and Coast Guard friends.  But we will find out the exact date later, sometime after Tobin is done with API.

Let us know how you all are doing, and when we can schedule you for a visit to our little vacation getaway.  We miss you all!
