Well folks, D-Day is near. Cam was told on Friday morning that they would gather on base to leave this Thursday. Today, they told him that they flight will now be leaving on Sunday morning which is much better news. I was feeling pretty positive about the whole thing, trying to think of it as just a small transition phase of our life together, but getting an actual date makes it all more real. My last day of work will be on Friday, so all this couldn't possibly come at a worse time, but let's face it...Friday is gonna suck regardless, so I might as well be here and say my goodbye's.
Mom and Dad came up on Saturday night to babysit Jac so that Cam and I could get away for a night. We justified spending the extra money saying, this is our anniversary (July 22) and both of our birthday celebrations (June 30, Aug. 26). We went to the same Bed & Breakfast in Wilmington we stayed at on our honeymoon. It was awesome! Cam called in earlier that day and they had a cancellation on one of their best rooms, so we were pretty pumped about getting it. When we finally arrived shortly after 8, the owner realized that Coker sounds alot like Coger, and he had already checked another couple into our room by mistake! All of their rooms are pretty amazing so we didn't put up a fight (as long as we had our hot tub) and took another room. I would feel horrible about kicking another couple out. As it turns out, our new room (The Cabana Suite) was probably better anyway. It was a little smaller and didn't have a fireplace, but everything else was pretty great.

Wet bar, closet, and freakin awesome hot tub!

View from the front of the bed...I know...we should have taken a pic BEFORE we pulled down the covers.
I'm planning on going back to Florence on Sunday after Cam leaves. I'll probably be zonked! Mom is off all week next week, so she may come back to J-ville with me to start getting packed up for the big move...maybe the first weekend in March? Who knows.
I've got so much to do here at school to get ready to leave. The problem is that I'm having a hard time caring about any of it. All I want to do is spend time with Cam and Jac. My slackness here at work is a direct result of wanting to be with him every spare second I have. I can't even think about him not being here without getting a lump in my throat and watery eyes. I know that God's in control, but that doesn't make me miss him any less.
My favorite place to be...with my boys!
