Away for the Holidays

So I was asked if I could work through the holidays. After talking with my wife and letting her know that she could come out with me as it would just be myself and my night shift there providing security watch she has agreed. So a quick trip home to get her and the dog and off we go for 11 days together out at work. It is great as I only work in the winter and this means no missed pay period and I still get to spend the holiday with her. Sometimes things just work out.
