The unique perspective of a civilian husband's life with an U.S. Army JA officer wife. I'll bet you don't know many either.

Green Mill, The Grey, and Groceries
Another crazy day today!
I slept in, walked the dog, went swimming for a half an hour, went to Green Mill with D-Rock, saw The Grey with D-Rock, mad some ground turkey and rice for the dog as she didn't eat breakfast this morning but only pooed once today, did some grocery shopping, and then chatted with the missus.
Swimming was nice. I feel like I'm starting to get an efficient rhythm of movement in the water whereas up to this point I feel like I was just powering my way through.
Green Mill was awesome. They have a deal right now...1 extra large two topping pizza and one appetizer for $20.00. Very good value in my opinion. I couldn't resist getting a chocolate chip cookie sundae before leaving. Sooo goood!
D-Rock's in the throws of getting ready for marriage on the first of June. Most of it sounds pretty normal. Unique points of information are that he and his wife will be taking his mother in law's maiden name upon their marriage. Also, because they are getting married in Germany, most if not all of his family will not attend the 4-day wedding festivities. 4 days? Crazy! Bummer about his family though.
The Grey was not that bad of a movie. The ending was darker than I expected but probably closer to reality if you can get past the crazy killer wolves that were the antagonists. I probably won't see it again, but Liam Neeson was definitely a good choice. Rumor has it that Bradley Cooper was originally slated for the role but bowed out because of "scheduling conflicts" and Liam Neeson heard about it because he's pals with Cooper. Cooper may have been able to pull it off, but Neeson's older and darker charisma worked better for the role than Cooper's younger and more suave aura would have.
I think the dog might be at a turning point with her health. She didn't eat breakfast, but ate the turkey and rice meal I made for her. She still walked well and only pooed once today...far better than the poo every other hour she was doing earlier. She also seemed a lot more spunky several hours after the rice meal. We played fetch for the first time in days. If she's still bad tomorrow, I'll take her to the vet. The other thought that crossed my mind is possible stress from the move. I don't think that's what this is, but that will be my explanation if a vet visit occurs and turns up nothing.
Grocery shopping was, well, grocery shopping. I got more of those buffalo tenders. I just can't turn away. However, I'll definitely have to ration them because my body can only take so many of those in one sitting:)
On the Georgia front, there was continued R & R in Atlanta and they watched The Vow. Obviously a source of tears. Based upon the previews, there's no way I would watch that movie with the wife not around. I don't think I could handle it. I'm glad we'll be seeing each other soon!
