Friday Favorites

My list of favorites this week is simple:

After a few too many weeks of this...

... I have gotten to spend the past day and a half with my favorite person:

Following a long two days of Yellow Ribbon ceremonies and speakers and officers' dinners and hails and hooahs, we get to enjoy the next four days at home together.

This schedule for this weekend includes one night here...

... and a little bit of this:

(local wine tasting)

with some of our favorite people:

(my best friend and Dan's brother)

... and their lovely significant others!

We also have a birthday party for our niece and nephew, a farewell dinner with lots of my family, some quality cuddling with the cat, a date night, a few errands, and lots of goodbyes to squeeze in before the departure ceremony. 

Luckily, though, my favorite thing of all this Friday is a piece of good news that involves one of these:

... and a weekend trip to see my hubby in a few months. Hurray for 4 days of leave! I am so incredibly grateful that this weekend is not goodbye, but "see you later."

Needless to say, I will be a bit preoccupied with spending as much time with my guy as possible in the next few days. I'll be back later in the week though! Happy weekend, everyone!
