Last night, Howell mentioned that there is a possibility that he will go on temporary duty again in Majuro, Marshall Islands for one to two months and he might leave either on the 9th or 12th of March.
I felt sad because one month is such a long time for me to be away from hubby especially now that I am pregnant. Also, I felt sad because he will miss Bela’s Moving Up Day program because it will be on the 14th of March and Bela will surely look for him.
On the other hand, it is also a blessing for Howell so I really have to be happy about this news. First reason is that this temporary assignment will be a good addition to his resume. Second, he will earn miles to cover for one airline ticket to the US for our planned US trip so we can finally visit our friends in San Diego. (They have been inviting us for the longest time now as they are excited to show us their San Diego real estate. This is their first investment as a couple and they are really proud for this real estate investment, which they we're able to find with the help of Access San Diego site, because they have been working really hard to buy the house of their dreams.) Third reason is that Howell will be able to save his per diem and according to him, it might even be enough to cover for the budget that we need for the Christening of our baby or we might be able to put it in our travel funds.
I guess the pros outweigh the cons, huh? Still I can’t help but feel sad about the news. Howell has been away many times already because of work and every time, I really find it hard to bear. But I am glad I have Bela and the baby inside me to entertain me while their dad is away.
