Counting Down… again

Hi Everyone! Not much time to write as I have to run to a staff meeting in about 15 minutes but I just wanted to say a quick “hello!”

Well, here we are, the first day of MARCH! Yes, you read that right- MARCH. In like a lion, out like a lamb, right? That means I can officially say “I’m coming home THIS MONTH!” Ahhhh!

As you can tell, I’m pretty freaking excited! Yesterday marked 3 weeks until I see the three M’s! We have a great day and a half planned for Seattle. I am excited to try a little crumpet shop in Pike’s Peak or Pike’s Place or whatever that market area is in Seattle. I’m not 100% sure what a crumpet is, but it has a pretty positive connotation in my mind- something flaky and fresh and doughy full of good-to-eat things. Which is awesome, in my book.

I also cannot WAIT to have a latte with REAL steamed milk. Oh, and milk. I haven’t had milk in over 5 months! (other than in one Starbuck’s latte in Dubai). And I think Seattle is a GREAT place to be re-introduced to American coffee- yum!

Wow- I literally can hardly contain my excitement. Our conversations and emails from home have slowly started migrating from “what did you do today, what are you doing tomorrow?” to “Oh my gosh I can’t wait to see you, it’s so soon, what are we going to do? Where are we going to go? Ahhhh!”. I was just thinking last night back to October, when I was living on ABOT. Where it was hot, and unfamiliar, and lonely. We were on SUCH a wedding/honeymoon high, but depressingly, we weren’t on that high together. It was so bittersweet to be able to look back at memories and pictures and so much happiness, but being so incredibly lonely because we weren’t together, and had just embarked on a very, very long time apart.

And I’m not saying that it’s gone by fast. Looking back at October, it’s like it was years ago. The wedding seems ages and ages ago. I literally feel like I have been all over the world and met a hundred new people and experienced a million new things. It’s been one heck of a roller coaster ride. But now that it’s almost over, I can’t believe 5 months are already behind us.

The winter Olympics are over, the snow is melting back on the East Coast and (I think/hope that) it has stopped raining in San Diego. We’re making our post-deployment plans, making our lists, checking them twice. It’s so great that March is finally here and the seemingly endless months? Well, 5 of them are behind us, and only 26 days to go!

Nicole and I are diligently counting down, we are cutting off one of our paper chain links every day and the chain that used to do a double loop is now almost to a single loop- we can actually see the chain diminishing, right before our eyes.

Like I said, you can tell that I’m excited. Alright, well off to our staff meeting and a workout and watch but I will try and think of something of actual interest to write about.

Four Weeks…

… until I am re-united with 3 of my favorite “M’s”- my momma, my mother-in-law & Molly V! Tiger Cruise kicks off in exactly FOUR weeks and I couldn’t be more excited if I tried. In the words of Julie Andrews from Sound of Music- “these are a few of my favorite M’s”

[molly v., i don’t have any pictures of us on my work computer- they are all on my mac and I can’t transfer the pics right now. This can be rectified in two ways, 1- you sending me a picture of us for me to upload, and certainly we have like HUNDREDS of pictures of us or 2- we take a picture of us together in TWENTY EIGHT days :)]

That means 33 days til home. 33 days til this.

Today Nicole & I built our paperchain countdown [Every single guy in the office made fun of us]

I’m counting already, are you?

There's No Place Like Home!

Hi everyone! This is part of our little mini-series on our home in San Diego. I know, I know, you log in to read all about life on ABOT when I actually spend 99.7% of my time thinking about life back in SD.

The first in our mini-series was the vote on the mixer. Thanks to a overwhelming (and unanimous) voter turnout this year, the white standmixer has been placed back upon the shelf at Williams-Sonoma and we are eagerly awaiting the new red one. I will be sure to post pictures when it arrives. Dan's first question was "where in the kitchen is it going to go with everyone else we have?!?!" But seriously, we have lots of fun "home improvement/decorating" projects in the works, luckily some of which can be done from all the way out here. I am probably the only person worried about decorating her apartment from 9,000 miles away, but seriously I love it and love nothing more than coming back to a place that is well put together. Part 2 is about our new art-work, part 3 will highlight Dan's project: the new bar, and part four will again request much-needed reader opinion- new draw handles on the dresser!

The weather has certainly turned very mild. It's in the upper 80's during the day and in the 70's at night. The wind and breeze comes in from the north now, which means it is no longer humid. (Ok, I mean it's always humid, it is the Middle East and we're surrounded by water and all! But no longer do pools of water form up everywhere like it's just rainied). Sometimes, if I close my eyes and hold my nose, I forget where I am. If I try REALLY hard I almost feel like I'm here. This is the San Diego skyline from Coronado. I know you miss it too, Rach :(

But then I open my eyes and realize I am fact still 11 time zones away.  So, going back to the land of fruits and nuts (that will never get old :), here are two new paintings that are the newest additions to our apartment. The first was a painting that we bought in Montmarte, the "artsy" district in Paris. We walked round and round the square of artists painting and kept coming back to this one lady and her GORGEOUS oil paintings of flowers. We love vibrant, textured and bright painting of flowers/landscape/nature. Not wanting to rush into anything, we let the art soak in over a meal of french onion soup and cafe au lait and then wandered back to the square. After much hemming and hawing between 2 paintings we selected this one. Not a moment later as the artist was boxing it up, but an American woman ran up to us and said "oh noooo- I have had my eye on that all morning, I already bought two of hers this morning and was debating buying this one." Dan said that her reaction made him feel whatever is the opposite of buyer's remorse and thus liked the painting EVEN more.  Here we are with the artist who did our painting. She said it takes a few months for authentic oil paint to dry and so we are going to wait until I get home to frame it.

We are really excited about the painting and can't wait to hang it up over our bed once we frame it.

The 2nd awesome new painting is a little acrylic painting we randomly picked up for 5 euros at a little souvenier shop in Santorini. Actually, come to think of it, we got this awesome work in Oia, this little town in Santorini but 1) I dont have a picture of it and 2) it's already hung up. Maybe Dan will take a picture and send to me :)

Anyways, so we had already gotten the more expensive work but wanted a little something to maybe hang up. Figuring that if we never used it, it would be ok since it was only 5 euros. However, the painting was carried from Santorini to Crete to Athens to Paris to Charlottesville and San Diego (like all the art we bought) so damn it we were going to hang it up! Dan and his new friend at Michael's had some quality time during one of their framing sales and here is the result. I could not be more impressed with this originally $7 art- I am in love with it now and it is hanging in our guest bathroom. Of course, this sparked the need to have the guest bathroom now match the painting. I tell you, "burnt orange" bath mats are a PIA to find. Luckily I finally found them- on backorder until March of 2010 from Pottery Barn. It's a race to see who will make it to SD first: me or the new bath mats! But it's going to be a great mix of one of the shades of orange and some blues in the bathroom. See, come for a visit to San Diego and you can escape to Greece too :)

Alright well that is all for now. I will try and find something interesting going on around ABOT so that I can take a break from blogging about San Diego since you all are probably sick of that. Too bad b/c I'll never get sick of it :) I CAN'T WAIT TO COME HOME ALREADY! AHHHHH! I miss Dan and our home and am ready to be in the same city as him already! The wedding was such a tease now that we STILL don't know what married life is like together. Is it March 27th yet?!

Also, I have been so very lucky to receive SO many wonderful emails from family and friends the past few days. I am sorry that I haven't responded to all of them yet; our internet is really bad at night when I do most of my emailing because that is when the most people are trying to log on and it really slows down. However, I am really happy when I get email and I frequently read them over and over again and promise I am getting through them to respond. I am about to switch to the night watch from 6pm to midnight which should make it easier for me to respond to emails at a time when the internet is better. It will make it more difficult to skype though with people on the East Coast (sorry Mom!)

Alright well that is all for now. I will try and find something exciting to write about later. Love & hugs!

This or That?

Hi friends! Need a domesticated opinion on something.

So Dan & I were very fortunate to receive a Kitchenaid stand mixer for a wedding gift, something I have ALWAYS wanted! My initial thought was to get a red one (we have a red blender [shown here] and other accents of red for our kitchen: spatulas, towels, potholders, etc) but then after much debate, I thought it might be TOO much red and instead requested a white one. Also, for your information, we currently have a white kitchenaid hand mixer that I like as white and intend to keep that way.

Then the other day on watch I got to talking to some people, and Nicole said she had a red one and this guy Steve said his wife had a red one. Then I got serious buyers (or gift-receivers) remorse and wished that I too had a red one.

Fortunately for me, the standmixer is still in the box, as Dan had strict instructions NOT to play with it in my absence unless under the supervision of a qualified kitchenaid-er, like Rachel. I told Dan I was afraid he might use it as a cement mixer or paint stirrer or something, to which he responded "who do you think I am? Tim the Tool Man Taylor?"

So what do you, my cultured and knowledgable culinary friends, think? Stick with the basic white or go for something a little more bold?

Thanks for your help!

The Time Traveler's Wife.

Helen Keller once said:

"the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart"

This quote could not sum up life on deployment anymore. However, technology is really a great thing, because it helps out with the seeing part a little bit. Thank goodness for the glorious iPhone. One of my favorite things that Dan does is take pictures of everyday life and things I would appreciate and shoots it to me via email. I love the random-ness of the pictures and they always make me laugh and feel like I'm part of whatever he's doing at the moment.

Beware then, my loyal readers who are around Dan; you too may soon find yourself blinded by the flash of his iPhone lens and instantly (and digitally) sent to me :)   

I know I/this/we can be cheesy but I couldn't help but share some of the things that I miss most and most of the littlest things that make me so happy:

Here we have evidence of a good night that Dan sent me last night. This picture might look like it actually was taken sometime in mid-2004 when we were living up the height of our college days. Well, the caption for this picture is exactly that, something that some people who may be reading this find very funny.

The setting: Second Year, First Semester. 100 Stadium Road #3- the Woodrow Apartments. Saturday morning. 0800. Living Room.

My Dad made a surprise trip to UVA. Yes, that's right, a 3 1/2 hour drive without so much as a "Hey daughter I'm coming to visit you!" notice. There may have been beer consumed in our apartment the night before. We may have saved the cans. And we may have engineered those cans into a large pyramid extending from the coffee table to the ceiling. And my dad may have walked in, unannounced, to see it. Caption of this picture are the words that Rachel said to my dad when he walked in:
"Mr. Harris- you wouldn't BELIEVE this. Somebody broke into our apartment, brought all these beers, drank them and left us with THIS!"

This was in fact, a true story, one that I know we all still tell and laugh at today, and I'm sure Dad remembers :)

Here is Dan at a San Diego Chargers game. Caption: "I got this hat for $5!" Me: "Yeah.... I can tell...." :)

Meet James. James is Rachel's adorable 4 year old nephew. Dan and Billy have become even better friends since the Navy took their girls away from them for a long time. So, while Rachel's mom was in town, Dan & Billy accompanied Ms. Sharp and her adorable grandchildren to a fancy shmancy brunch at the Hotel Del Coronado (the adorable grandchildren's parents, Lauren & Seth, Rachel's older sister, were on house-hunting leave on the East Coast). As you can tell, the Hotel Del brunch features a chocolate fountain. How can a 4 year old NOT love this?!?

"Good news- we're putting our new martini glasses to good use!" Ahhh yes, those martini glasses which my limited experience with them includes: unwrapping them, putting them away, and sending the thank you note; luckily Dan is making sure they get good use in my absence. Thanks for helping Dan out with this Billy, and thanks Bridget for the awesome glasses- I can't wait to use them too!

Don't be fooled- Dan too is having adventures in the kitchen in my absence. I can't wait to come home and have my husband cook for me- yum! :)

This next set of pictures I absolutely love and do a good job of illustrating my odd personality. I love made beds. Not messy beds, but perfectly, coordinated, made beds. Those who know me really well will know that I do not function well when the bed is unmade. One time, I was running late to work and didn't have time to make the bed. I was legitimately uncomfortable at work, knowing that my bed at home was a wreck. Luckily, I lived near base then so I was relieved to go home at lunch, make my bed, and return to work much less troubled and more productive.

It should come as no surprise then to know that I ordered a new set of sheets and new quilted pillow shams for our bedroom right before I left on deployment and was devasted when I was told to leave before my delightful Pottery Barn box arrived, allowing me to put together the new color/design I had been scheming in my head. So, when I found out that it arrived, a week or so into my deployment, I was tickled with delight and (nicely) demanded to Dan, who could give a rats pa-tootie about quilted pillow shams and new matching sheets, that he wash the sheets and re-decorate the bed just as I had been imagining in my head (I can't take all the credit, thank you Jill from the Jacksonville Pottery Barn who probably isn't reading this because it would be weird if she was, who helped me put together many combinations of patterns using a duvet, a quilt and multiple textured pillows).

So Dan, understanding my insanely weird obsessions with made beds and my inability to function knowing a bed is unmade, humored me and put it together to my specifictions and took these pictures. I am really digging the new look, aren't you? I am very excited to mix and match other combinations but I think the cranberry pillow shams really added something nice. And for our guests, don't you fret, I've got something slightly less over the top but still very classic and matching and coordinated planned for the guest bedroom. That one should be on it's way & I'm looking forward to seeing it come together :)

And finally, my favorite. This picture was entitled "Help- there's a man outside our window!" which normally would have freaked me out. However, it was just the window-washing man (I would have been terrified to be 17 stories up doing this).  While this is a cute, spontaneous and funny picture (plus it does a pretty good job of showing the San Diego harbor in the background, gosh I miss that....), it is something so small in the details you might have missed it.

On our dresser are all of the picture frames that we will eventually put wedding pictures in, in addition to some other clutter laying around. But what caught my eye was the watch (that little silver strip) laying in front of the glass canister. I remember throwing that watch on the dresser, just before I left, during the whirlwind 52 minutes that I had at home to pack and say goodbye to Dan. The fact that it is still there (and of course ALL of my stuff is there still and I obviously had a hand in all of the decorating and unpacking) but to see this little watch, carelessly thrown on the dresser, still sitting there almost a month later, instantly brought me to tears. I don't know why, something about knowing that he hasn't touched it or moved it, like a little teeny piece of me just sitting idly and quiet, watching everyday life, counting the minutes and waiting to be part of it.

I love these pictures and all that they represent, and even though I'm not in any of them, I know that I have a little place in each picture and that I can't wait to fill that space in just over 5 months. Until then, my watch is doing a good job holding my place and Dan's iPhone is helping to keep the memories and good times. I love you :)

San Diego Sunset

I found this picture when I was uploading pics for the last blog. This was the sunset outside of our apartment over the San Diego Harbor the night before I left. At the time, we didn't know it was my last night but luckily Dan grabbed the camera and snapped this. I'm so glad he did; it is so nice to have to look at now.
If this doesn't make you want to visit, SD, I don't know what does. However, there is something wrong with the airport here and will not allow incoming flights of our family and friends until I return in the Spring. Weird, I know. Guess you'll have to wait til I get back...

... haha, just kidding. I know Dan's parents are excited to spend Thanksgiving in SD and maybe even my mom will make a trip out there- I hope you do and you enjoy these wonderful sunsets as much as we do! Love to you all :)

Currently in the airport, awaiting our helo flight to begin the long, slow journey to ABOT. We spent the morning at the Armory getting our weapons. Unfortunately, we were told we HAVE to take ammo with us (weird, I know, who brings a gun AND ammo?). The Master at Arms on duty was like "ABOT, yeah, you're going to want both"- but I think he was just exaggerating.

We just had breakfast at a little MWR snack shack here at the airport. Actually, it was pretty good; I had an omelet with green peppers, tomatoes, onion, ham and cheese. It was like an omelet you'd make at home; that and a Coke Light (in Arabic! Picture to follow!) and a bottle of water was a whopping $2.75. I love MWR prices!

We met the 2 pilots who will be flying us out. (Finally, after all those years being on a ship and all of those hours spent driving the ship during flight ops, but never being allowed for a helo ride, we get to take one! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures!) They were like "umm- HOW much luggage do you have....?!"-- answer? 172 lbs for me and 157 lbs for Nicole. They were like "umm, you know there is like a 50lb limit..." to which we responded that must be a joke as they issued us more than 50 lbs EACH of CBR-D gear, battle rattle, weapons and ammo! Luckily we are both teeny tiny. Hopefully they will will fit it all.

Well, that's about it for now, hope everyone is doing well!

Love,
M

Welcome to the Kingdom of Bahrain!

... yes, that is how the flight attendants welcomed us to Bahrain, and yes, it really is a Kingdom!

Our first full, and only, day in Bahrain is slowly coming to a close. We started out early this morning on base for our 9MM re-qual. I was SUPER nervous as I hadn’t actually shot for qualification in almost a year and wasn’t sure how well I’d do. Luckily, a good eye and steady hand must have been on my side because I shot my best yet; out of 240 possible points and 180 minimum to qualify, I scored at 228, which is Expert. I was shocked because normally I don’t do as well. The “range” was actually a trailer, like you would see a big 18 wheeler on the highway. It was totally padded inside, 3 narrow shooting lanes and no air conditioning. Luckily, they said it was “cool” since it was still morning. Obviously, my definition of “cool” is still stuck in San Diego, although I’m sure it will change soon.

From there we ran around base (ok, most of the time we didn’t run, Malissa, the girl from CTF IM who was assigned to help us, had a golf car so we cruised around ☺ ) getting gear, uniforms, and supplies from the NEX. We were issued CBR-D gear, which stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological Defense gear (aka- 25 pounds of stuff that I can barely wear fully dressed out and hopefully never will!), also, “battle rattle” which consists of a klevar vest and helmet in a lovely shade of desert camouflage. I got 3 sets of desert “cammies” and a set of desert boots. Because apparently my 2 HUGE duffels wasn’t enough--- now I have like 30 more pounds of gear to haul out to ABOT.

We stopped by the NEX where I got a new pair of sneakers and some converters for all of my electronics that I am bringing with me. Then we swung by the Armory/Security Attachment to get everything squared away to pick up our weapons tomorrow. Apparently we are issued 9MM’s to carry on ABOT, but luckily, it is not mandatory. In fact, once we finally got through the red tape of getting permission to have our weapons issued, the guy at the Armory asked us how much ammo we wanted to take and our response immediately was “None!” So, we can all sleep well knowing that I am not only not planning on carrying a weapon on ABOT but I have no intention of giving the ability for it to be loaded at any time out there. Let’s be honest, if little LTJG Laufer, the Training Officer, is using a 9MM, then something’s gone terribly wrong that cannot be solved with a 9MM. Great, just another piece of gear I have to haul out there.

We came back to the hotel when the jet lag hit us INTENSELY and despite our best intentions to go out to lunch and explore Bahrain, we settled on the Iranian restaurant in our hotel. We had a DELICIOUS, albeit expensive, tasty lunch which was much needed. I don’t think I’ll ever be hungry now! They started out with some vegetables, including some interesting leafy veggies that were a bit peppery and spicy, served with a side of tzaziki. It was good, but the garlicky tzaziki of Greece was much better. Then we ordered a dish whose name I cannot remember but it was basically like a mezze, or tapas, plate of Iranian appetizers. It included “Salad-e-shirazi” which is made exactly like Gaby’s Israelis salad, except the veggies weren’t chopped quite as finely and it was not as good as his ☺, a puree of spinach and yogurt and friend onions, a puree of olives, walnuts and pomegranates, a fried eggplant pure with onions, mint, and garlic and another eggplant puree with tomato and eggs and cilantro. It also came with a HUGE basket of warm bread, I’m not sure what it was called but it was similar to Indian Naan but a little more crispy. Everything was DELICIOUS, except I didn’t like the one with olives and walnuts. For our beverage, we had “lemon with mint” which is lemonade with REALLY fined ground mint leaves- AMAZING and so necessary in a city where 99 degrees is considered “cool.”

For our meal we had a saffron, spicy rice with marinated shrimp (it’s funny, the menu says “Gulf Shrimp,” which to me means “caught off the coast of the panhandle of Florida or perhaps New Orleans” but out here it means the Arabian Gulf!). It also had really super grilled tomatoes, green peppers and onions, and Nicole had a really spicy, dilly rice with the most tender, fall off the bone lamb I have EVER seen. It was SO MUCH FOOD. We SERIOUSLY over ordered. So we decided to continue it with some dessert. We had a dessert of frozen vermicelli noodles (like the noodles you might have in a Thai dish) but it had been scooped, maybe like the consistency of a “chunked” shaved ice, but with noodles and it was covered in a rose syrup (it is weird “eating” roses) and also with Iranian ice cream, which was saffron ice cream. It was delicious and interesting and we finished the meal off with some Iranian tea.

We justified it as it was pretty much our only “real” meal since leaving SD over 2 days ago and probably our last good one for a long time. Then, we rolled ourselves to the salon where we got pedicures. Although not as good as the ones in the US, it was still very great and only $15! They were very busy as there was a big Bahrainian wedding that night at the hotel- we saw these little girls getting their hair SUPER curled with glitter spray and women getting the most elaborate make-up done. Also interesting, the “hair salon/spa” place is women only, because I guess it is a place where women can go un-covered so no men are allowed. The lady made a comment that I “really needed a pedicure” and proceeded to spend the next 25 minutes scrubbing dead skin off my feet, which was much appreciated. She kept saying that I get a pedicure every week, I won’t have these kind of feet. I didn’t feel like explaining to her that I wouldn’t be able to get a pedicure for the next 6 months, much less every week. If we end up in Bahrain at the end of our tour on ABOT, I will be sure not to go back to her, not because she wasn’t good but because she would be so disappointed to see my feet 6 months later ☺

I have never traveled to the Middle East and the cultural differences between here and home are ASTOUNDING. We have spent most of our time on base so I haven’t gotten much chance to see it, but it is evident just from being in the hotel. What is also interesting, is that all the different countries have different traditions, etc on who has to have there head covered, who doesn’t, what the men where, etc. I suppose I should do a little research to learn more. I wish I had spent more time today exploring Bahrain but I am SO jet-lagged, I’m just trying to stay awake until an “appropriate” time to go to bed around 8pm, otherwise if I slept all day, I’d be up all night and never get over it. I also know I have many months ahead of very hot weather, a lot of work, and not as nice living conditions so I am enjoying laying in my nice, air conditioned Sheraton room, reading, and relaxing ☺ hopefully, we will get some visits on the tail end of deployment to a few cities out here.

I guess I should also explain who my new friend out here is. Her name is Nicole, and she is our new intelligence officer for the DESRON. She is 32 and has been in the Navy for about 8 years. Luckily for me (and unlucky for her), she just returned from an 8 month tour in Bahrain and did another year long tour here a few years ago so she knows her way around really well. It’s also nice because we have at least 2 things in common right now- we both have no interest in bringing a gun to ABOT and we are the only people that we know out here. She is very nice, very knowledgeable and I am so glad I know someone for these 2 days!

Tomorrow morning will be an early one and I have a feeling that our trip to ABOT will be of epic hassle. We have a van coming to pick us up at the hotel at 6am. From there, we go to the base to pick up our weapons and get our escort. Then we go to the airport where we board a helo (not sure which kind yet, one that can land on a Destroyer) out to the John Paul Jones, a DDG. From JPJ, we will ride a RHIB (small, fast boat) to ABOT where a crane will lift all hundreds of pounds of stuff and gear we have, and then we will climb a ladder up to the platform. I am very very nervous about all of my stuff getting wet- I’ve spent enough time in one of those RHIB’s to know!

Well, that’s about all I have to say for now. I am watching the awarding the of the Olympics right now and then going to order some soup and get all my gear packed up as as best I can. I will post again as soon as I’m safely on ABOT, maybe not a lot but at least to let you know that I’m there!

I included a few pictures, our luxurious accommodations at the Sheraton Bahrain, my welcome screen on my TV- it’s not bad enough that everyone is confused by the fact that I introduce myself as and my uniforms say “Laufer” yet my name is still "Harris" as far as the Navy is concerned but now apparently my gender was confused by the folks at the front desk. I think it’s because I used Dan’s SPG# ☺



Also, here is all of the gear I was given today. The green bag to the left does no justice to the fact that not only is the bag actually about as big enough to fit me, but also feels like it weighs as much as I would in the bag!
