California!

Well, the dog and I made it to California. :) I love being here - it's home in a way that Virginia can never equal. Of all the places we could be, I guess, Virginia's a pretty good one. I just love Sonoma County; the atmosphere, the familiarity, the landscape, my friends and family...
We got some less-than-exciting news last week. My husband, who is in the Navy, is getting sent to Africa sometime near the end of summer/early fall and (my best guess) will be gone about 9 months total. We found out just a couple of weeks ago that it was a possibility, but I was trying to be optimistic and keep in mind that he wasn't the primary person up for the position, but he called me from his ship to say that he was notified that he was now the primary and would definitely be heading over there. I don't know what I'll be doing, now, because I can either stay in Virginia by myself or move back to California and live with my parents for a while (and then move back to Virginia for a few months after he gets back, before moving BACK to Cali for good). I haven't had a chance to talk to him since we found out, either. Apparently we've got some big decisions to make.
I am having a good time out here, though. Tomorrow night I'm heading over to the in-laws' house for dinner. Should be exciting as always. ;) Wish me luck!
