Today I officially hit my 25% complete mark. I started the day in a manner that fits me - I fell off the bus. I don't mean I stumbled and missed a step; I missed all three of the steps on the bus and tumbled out onto the gravel. Luckily, my face, knees, and elbows broke my fall. I only had this mishap in front of around 20 people. And it wasn't even Monday!

In about a month, I'll be taking my four day pass to Qatar, which will be a much needed break from the grind of my job. And four months after that, I'll be coming home on leave. I'm trying to convince myself that the time is flying by, but the truth is, it isn't. So I work, and I wait.

The amazing part is that I'll be coming home to a house. Mike has done all the work and made all the arrangements, and we're closing on the house that he has pictured in his blog in August. We're both really excited. My husband is the greatest ever.

So I'll end this short blog with a picture of me, my colleagues, and a giant head to commemorate the milestone...
