We went to the Renaissance Festival this weekend, it was a blast! All of the Oompas dressed up, except for Zack, who had worked the night before and was soooo tired that we let him sleep until just before we left. One thing I realized at the fair, as much as I hate the automated bathrooms at my store, and I REALLY hate them, I've become accustomed to them. After using the restroom at the fair, I found myself standing there waiting for the toilet to flush itself. When it didn't, I impatiently reached out to push the button, which of course wasn't there... but an old fashioned chrome plated handle gleamed at me from the side of the porcelain tank. Duhhhhhhhhhhh!
Zack got to chat with Gabe for a little while this morning. I'm not sure yet if I'm allowed to say where he's going, so lets just say... its not any better than where he is right now. The increased number of troops and patrols is having the desired reaction in the region though, so at least some good is coming of the whole deal.

I'm loving all the "days" I will celebrate a few of those! Next year we are planning on the Ren Fest. My girls were just a little too small this year.
Good news? that Gabe is going somewhere different. Does that make his come home date different? I wish the Middle East would just suck itself up and cease to exist.
