For the past 18 days I have been in the US. I have been doing a temporary duty (TAD) in Portsmouth, VA working in the ICU at the Naval Hospital. I didn't think I was going to have much of a plan other than working lots as I didn't know many people here. But thankfully, I was honored to work with a great team of people who welcomed me with open arms. They all treated me as I was their own permanent team member! So many thanks to Phil Boyer, LT Kim, Elise Holmes and Demetrius Brown, among a few others!
Mom also came to visit, which was an awesome not expected part of the trip as well :)
So now begins the ever bridging gap of time to depart Italy! I am so excited!!!! I have solidified my plans that I don't ever want to be stationed overseas (excluding deployments) ever again. The distance from my family and the state of living in the US is something I have missed terribly! I have no regrets and feel blessed to have the opportunity to live in Italy, but am ready to be stateside again for a very long time.
