It's been a while

We've been busy this last week. Bob took Friday off and we went to the zoo. Saturday we had a t-ball game and Bob and I went out on our big "last date" before he leaves...although we still don't know when he'll be leaving (FRUSTRATING!!!). We started off at the casino. We've never been there before and Bob thought we could check it out. We had $16 cash and we were on our last dollar and Bob hit the jackpot. He won $33!!! We doubled our money and decided to quit while we were ahead. I honestly don't understand how people can sit there for hours on end feeding their money into machines. Our second stop was El Pinto, a very nice restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed our dinner on the patio and then we were off to the Isotopes game. We paid for $5 seating on the grass but of course Bob had no intention of sitting on the grass. He went right back to the section behind home plate and our pal Carlos, who let us sit there with the kids just a few nights before, told us to come back in the 3rd inning. We did and he took us to the front row directly behind home plate (the VERY front row!). That's MY MAN!

For many days now we've been anxiously awaiting news of when Bob will leave...not that we're in a rush for him to go but it's hard not knowing; we feel like we're in limbo. He's on leave until we get word, so at least we get to spend the days together doing fun things. We may hear something today but then again we've been saying that since Memorial Day. It's all about the paperwork, UGH. Actually another reason to get him there sooner rather than later is so that he can get home for Christmas!!! At this point I'm not holding my breath for anything. It's definitely one of those "hurry up and wait" situations.
