There are times when we're far removed from our loved ones. Join us during our journey in love, family, baby, travels, and everything in-between. ”MilitarySpouseBlogs”

 

Typically the Army just tells you to “deal” when it comes to missing holiday or other special occasions. Eric was away on a training in the woods and, by the grace of…superior officer, he was given Fourth of July. He got home earlier than expect, late morning of the 3rd and drove all day to Outer Banks to visit four of my uncles and their kids (my mom has many brothers and a sister).  It was the first time Eric had met this side of the family and it was the first time Helena had met them as well. It was sooo much fun.

We left Outer Banks at 10pm and drove the 4.5 hours to get back home. Eric had to report to work at 4:30am. But it was worth it. :) -t

ps. you’ll notice eric’s black eye. That was a work related injury. :)
