Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Guess what I got last week at work?

Business cards! Isn't that cool? I feel so official now. :)

We've got about two and a half weeks until Tobin leaves for training in Colorado. Until then, he reports for muster and has lots of medical visits (dental, vision, various physicals) and some briefings to attend. Yesterday was a PT test, which he did great in. You have to run a mile and a half, do pushups for a minute, and do situps for a minute. There's a time or number to beat in each.

We have been watching Hurricane Gustav closely at work, and if it gets bad, Tobin will have to evacuate with the rest of the military. If Pall closes, I will evacuate with him. If not, I'll stick around. But it's not likely the military will evacuate unless absolutely necessary. Right now, it looks like Gustav will hit Louisiana and head west, so we're ok. Hanna is right behind Gustav, however, and there are two more depressions out in the Atlantic. This hurricane stuff is a little hard to get used to. Check out the National Hurricane Center for the best info. It's a pretty neat site.

We get a long weekend thanks to Labor Day! We are thinking about renting a canoe or kayak for the day. Better head to breakfast. Keep in touch!

A long weekend? Are you heading to Grand Haven? They have canoes, I am sure. Maybe even Kayaks. We will be painting, but you can help or just keep us entertained. Waiting to see you (tee-hee).

Definitely rent the kayak or canoe! Dan and I went kayaking on our honeymoon and LOVED it! We were very sore for the next few days, but you guys are in better shape than we were, so you'll be fine!

Love you! Stay safe!

If they call for evacuations, evacuate! Don't stay there and be crazy!
