Guess who’s going on vacation this fall?  WE ARE!!  I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get time off of work but I did today so we are making plans for our trip to San Diego.  Curtis (Matt’s brother) is coming back from Iraq in the end of October and Matt is going to hop aboard the aircraft carrier in Hawaii and ride back to San Diego with him.  Matt is excited because he’ll be get to spend an entire week with his brother, he’ll get to feel what it’s like to be in the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight, and he’ll get to shoot a bunch of weapons.  I’m excited for him too!  Mary (Matt’s mom) and I are going to fly out to meet them when they port and then we’ll spend a few days in San Diego.  I’ve never been, so I’m pumped.  We’re going to do some sightseeing and spend a bunch of time with the fam.  I can’t wait!
