In Tempe

Greetings from Tempe Arizona!!! Man I just love it here. Nothing like being on the countries largest college campus to inject some energy back into myself. My son asked me to come up this weekend and I am sure it was more for me then him. He worries all the time when I am alone even when I assure him I am perfectly fine. But I am happy he did and happy I did (come here). It's been kinda cold in the desert so coming here in the balmy 70's is nice. Yesterday we went to a movie and dinner and just talked about how we are both doing. It does my heart good to hear how incredibly happy he is at. school, he has a fantastic group of friends and he is continuing to excel in R.O.T.C. He was promoted to Intel Officer this semester and he seems to be really embracing it all.
We talked about his dads upcoming deployment and how he is going to deal with not being there to say good bye. Of course his only concern is me being alone and me telling him that I will be just fine. We are very lucky that block leave is over his spring break and he is easily giving up a week of snowboarding with his buddies to hang out with his pops.
It's really hard to grasp that he is just about finished his his freshmen year of college...wow.
Well I will go back home tomorrow and the hubs is due back from the field on Thursday...so I am going to have great week. I never Forget to tell myself what a lucky woman I am to have two fantastic men that love me so much. No matter what life sends my way I have that. What else could a person ask for??
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!
