Already gone...

Nathan left this morning at 5am. He is on his way to San Antonio with some of the officers for their OPD (Officer Professional Development, I think) to talk to the lady who is in charge of making station assignments. It is supposed to help get you the station you want. We are hoping for East Coast or Europe, but it will all depends on what is available. He will be back on Friday afternoon, so I've got two nights alone. Ugh. The good news is that tomorrow night is Bunco. It's going to be at Alex's house this time and the theme is Mardi Gras. She is making Jimbalaya, which I have never had. I told Nathan last night that I hope I win. We have played twice before and both times I have won a prize. Once for winning the most games and once for losing the most games. I am in no way the most competetive (ahem... Allison) but it makes it so much more fun when you get to take home a prize. Nathan, because he is a self-proclaimed realist, told me I can't win every time. Me, an equally self-proclaimed optimist, told him it's possible. Maybe not very likely, but still possible. Here's to hoping that my optimism is realistic!
