I have made it to my goal, although I have somewhat of mixed feelings about it, as Amanda is staying overnight in Indianapolis with both late meetings tonight and early meetings tomorrow.  It is Ben who is struggling with this, and it makes it far harder for me to shift gears into being “off work” for a short period of time.  He is really upset she is not here.

But I did get the opportunity to take him and his brother out for dinner tonight.  It is always such a pleasure and I am always struck at how it makes me want to pray for their two future wives….the poor girls.  But we talked about the Marines, and we also talked about all the strange stuff Ben wanted to bring up too.  My sons are pretty cool to hang out with, and their world is getting ready to change as Steph should be home for the summer on Saturday.

But now we are home and although Ben has school at 8, I will be working from home tomorrow and trying to take it easy.  I have been going non-stop for quite some time and need to rest a bit and recharge.  Of course rest means mowing and a few other things around here too, but that really does relax me.  I am just glad to get to this point.

I voted, I am home, and I am ready to just plug in and recharge.

I just pray it works!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
