Hello all, DH

of Mommyrom checking in. I just gave my wife the great news today. My chief handed me my approved leave slip for our cruise and was I relieved now I don't have to worry about having to work any swaps with the brothers to get this time off. I looked it over and I'll be gone for at least half of October. I also surprised her by letting her now I'll also be off from Dec. 22nd to the 28th and I forgot that I put in for that time as well.
Man, it's going to be great to have off for Christmas with my family in our new home.
Looking forward to meeting you all in October.
Oh, and on a second note did any of you see the fire today at Foxwoods casino? Our one engine was sent to cover another department that sent firefighters there it went to seven alarms but some of the firefighters we spoke with said it was a little bit of overkill.
A lot of firefighters standing around doing nothing for hours.
