A. Pash here

I have not taken the opportunity to share my extremely profound thoughts on this here blog, so here they are. today, we will be officially moving into our new home. it is the most unreal feeling, we feel like newly weds again (I know, perhaps the most cliche thought ever). half of our household goods made it to the house and today is unpacking day! it is a cool 95 degrees today with 77% humidity, should be a vacation.

last night, we went to hugh macrae park to exhaust mamba. the beauty of that park never ceases to amaze me. mamba befriended a pitbull mix named pebbles who had just as much energy as her! they were perfect playmates. one quality of wilmington that i have noticed is just how dog friendly this town is. there are even restaurants and bars that you can bring your dog to, its pretty awesome. maybe once mamba learns how to make a good first impression and stops barking her head off at the sight of another canine, we will be able to take that plunge.

monday, june 21, was a big day: 1. first day of summer, 2. our two year anniversary. it was a great day. big things are happening in our lives so that in itself was a gift, a chaotic gift... but a gift none the less. I can say with confidence that our two years of marriage have prepared us for the adventure that we are currently in the midst of. we are so excited to see what God has in store for our next two years, especially since we are now a military family and have zero control over our whereabouts.

yesterday, while zack was reporting to his first day at his new unit, he gained a better idea of what his schedule on the ship will be like. it seems that after bringing the ship back to wilmington from baltimore, they may not be going out again until the beginning of october! we don't know this to be 100% truth, but even if they don't go underway until september, I will be a happy coastie wife.

chow is over, and now the fun begins. bring on the sweat. over

day late and a sixpence short. oh well, deal with it.
