On Thursday morning Josh received an email at work saying that they want him to leave 11 days sooner than his original date. Which means that his dates to be in D.C. for training had to be moved up too. So also on Thursday, he found out that he will be leaving for Washington D.C. on Sunday, three days away! So all of these things that we had to get done that we thought we had a few weeks left to do, now had to be done over the weekend. Pretty much ALL on Saturday!! Everyone at work has told him to ship his stuff out there so he doesn't have to deal with big luggage traveling or worry about anything getting lost. While he is in D.C. this week he is receiving all of his clothing while he is deployed, so as he was packing for his eight days in D.C. he ALSO had to pack for four month in a foreign country!!! So while he is in D.C. he can ship this big tupperware like container and hopefully arrive by the time he gets there! Josh and Bridget went to an Army Surplus store while I was at the gym, then we all went to Walmart AND Target. The day was full of shopping and major packing!!
In the end everything worked out and got packed, it was just a bit stressful. Sometimes I would have to stop Josh and remind him to breathe. lol
So if any of you are thinking of what to do for your summer vaction, there is a free stay at the Carr's house!
