Its been a pretty ho hum week

Nothing super new on this front. Nick is happy with his car, and makes a point of driving whenever he can. His insurance has told him, that if he puts me on his insurance it will go down about 50$. I told him I would call and see if it could be done, since I own a policy already, and am named a driver on another. I told him I would allow them to name me as a driver, but not a co-owner, and he is cool with that.
This weekend was one of those were I was super missing him. I just wanted to hug my kid, and well its kinda hard to hug them when they are all the way across the country from you. I try not to dwell on the fact that I cant just see him whenever I want, or that after AIT leave, I'm not sure when I will see him again. But sometimes that thought creeps up, and it can be really depressing.
This week I am also working on getting together his birthday package. I cant do much, but I want to try and make it special for him. So if you have any low cost ideas, by all means share. :)
I also want to remind you to visit the other Parents Miliblogs over there in the right side bar. These parents are going through alot too. Some are just starting out as military parents, and some out there have kids deployed, so go read, and say a prayer for these fine men and women serving our country.
