Linky, Krista, Carrie, & Steph

Michael's niece Carrie came down for a lab at ODU for a class she is doing online. So after her day in class we all went to Smokey Bones for dinner. It was so nice to see her and to spend some time with her.

Our 2 babies on the Soda Michael as Lyss calls it.

I had to say good bye to my honey tonight. He flew back to Kuwait without me and I will not be back with him until July. Linky and I already have our reservations and are set to go. We will only be there for a little over a month and then Michael will fly back with us. With 2 new babies coming I have to work my trips around them.

Today we got Lyssa Lou her real season pass and she was so excited. She had her Opa, Mema & her mom. Plus Krista, Carla & Linky Lou were there. She was so excited about all the rides in Sesame Street so that was the first place we went. She rode all the rides but one. We all had a lot of fun and Michael got to go so that was really nice.

My 3 Girls

Virginia Zoological Park building

We had a wonderful day at the park. Lyss was so happy to see all the animals and to be with her Opa. He promised her a trip to the zoo before we even got back. She told him while we were in Kuwait that she wanted to go to the Zoo and we did. Fun was had by all.

Our Trip back to the States

Well it was bittersweet to leave Kuwait as I really did want to stay, but our plane left at 11:45 pm Kuwait time. Michael and I got a ride to the airport from his boss Joe and the lines at the airport were horrid. I am glad we got there as soon as we did because it took us awhile to get thru all of the checkpoints. We stopped at a duty free shop and got some souvenirs for the girls. Then we went on to the gate to go thru one more screening before loading onto the plane. The flight was nice because I got to sit next to my honey and cuddle with him the whole flight. We were on the bulkhead seats which meant plenty of leg room and space. We got into Dulles a little early so we had to wait for passport and customs to open.
Before I left Kuwait Michael took me to Avenues Mall for one last time. We had so much fun at the mall while I was there with our walks and trips to the movies. I will miss that time with Michael very much. But on our way to the mall we saw the aftermath of a horrific accident. I only pray that no children were in either car because one of them was burnt beyond recognition and the other the back end was gone. It appeared they went thru a red light at a high rate of speed which unfortunately is not uncommon in Kuwait. I hope that there were no children because most Kuwaitis do not have child safety seats for there children. The children are standing up in the front seat or out the sun roof. I have even seen children going down the highway almost all the way out the window. So that was one of my last memories that car wreck and I worry every day for Michael s safety.
