Cacti Spouse Day!

It's been a little while, and I apologize for not updating the blog lately.  Earlier this month, James' unit hosted a spouse day.  The batalion he works under is called the Cacti.  Within the Cacti, there are five different companies (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and HHC).  His batalion will be deploying next April, and one of the things they wanted to do was let the spouses get a feel of what a day in the life of a solider. 

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect.  We were able to participate in a variety of different exercise including battle drills and even shooting guns!  That's right, I shot an M4 and M249.  Pretty sweet! 

It was also a chance for me to meet some of wives of James' coworkers.  To be honest, I haven't really stepped out to meet the people out here.  I guess part of it is because I'm still so immersed in work that I haven't allowed myself to miggle with others.  I met some really nice ladies and I'm hoping to continue to build friendships to better prepare myself for James' deployment.  For now, here are some pictures from the Cacti Spouse Day!
