Hi Everyone -
I just wanted to send out a quick note to you all again. Things have been so busy for me getting ready for the trip that I almost forgot to post another blog!!
Things are going pretty good for Kevin, but I'm not going to lie....he's VERY ready for his 2-week leave in the Dominican Republic. Things are getting HOT, people are getting tired and worn out, and he really needs some down time for himself.
Last week his group tried to do something fun called a "Hub Off". The goal was to complete the rebuilding of all the hubs on the trucks, and they had different rules to go by. It was something they did to make it a little fun for them. Then when they were done with that they were able to grill out! Kevin was the grillmaster and cooked the burgers and hot dogs for everyone. I have some pictures that I'll have to attach next time so you can see a little better what I'm talking about. I'm not at my home computer right now, so I don't have them right now. ...but I'll put them on here eventually.
On May 18th, they decided to switch their hours to 11pm - 11am. This is to help them work in the cooler hours of the day since the temperature is climbing into the 100's. It's gettin' toasty there!! So Kevin had a couple overnight shifts before they let him go on his leave. He left this morning to start all the paperwork and briefings, then he would get his flights and be on his way. I haven't heard from him yet, so I have no idea when he'll get to the Dominican or what types of flights he's on - - but I'm sure he's going to be exhausted when he gets there!! I will be leaving tomorrow morning (Thursday) and will be there by 1:30 in the afternoon. I'm SO excited for us both to get there and have some down time and R&R - on the beach!!!! I think we're both needing it right now!! We will be in the D.R. until 6/5 - and we're planning on enjoying every minute of it!! I'm sure the next post I put out here will have some pictures to show everyone. It's going to be perfect - I just know it!!
Speaking of which, it's getting late and I need to get to bed for my early flight tomorrow morning. I will talk to everyone soon - take care!!!
