Well, shoot. We struggled hard and gave it a pretty damn good effort. I've already had one Longhorn fan raze me on-line - and we weren't even on a football board!
Eric got to watch the game on Armed Forces Network in his room with a couple of other guys. We video chatted for a few minutes after the game was over, but since it was 11 p.m. his time, he was ready to call it a night.
So far it's just been like he's gone on a business trip. I've talked to him every day, at least once. And we skype. Nathan seems to be adjusting well. There hasn't been any obvious moping or behavioral changes. He has, however, expanded his wardrobe, as you can see by the pic. (The kid insists that he doesn't want to get dressed up and go trick or treating. maybe this is his idea of a compromise.)
Fall has finally hit coastal Georgia. I believe the temp was only up to 65 or so. But it's been cloudy/rainy for the past few days, which is kinda depressing.
Work is still good. My soldiers are going to deploy in the next 2 weeks or so, so the headquarters are hopping with soldiers all the time. It's definitely been an eye-opening experience for me to be in the 'real' Army with this job.
Tomorrow will be the grand reassemblage of Nathan's lego collections. He wants to rebuild the biggest one - which I already know we've lost pieces to. Hoping that if we take all the collections - most of which are broken up anyway - and just dump all the pieces together, we can cobble together at least one complete set. *sigh* good thing I've always liked legos.....
