Military Wife,
He's on his way home! For real? Oh, thank God. I am so happy for you. You must be out of your mind with anticipation. Have a very merry Christmas, you and Carl.

He is a royal pain in my butt and has a rather fine butt as well. Honestly, I have never become accustomed to him not being here, I still have a habit of pulling out two plates at dinner and while I haven't had mud treked across my clean floor lately, I have the broom ready for him LOL!

While he is still in Iraq he is so close to being out of there I can hardly stand myself.

It's always more fun that way! Steal some from the Monster next time and when he grumbles stick your tongue out and offer to give it back!

Good days...
swiping whipped cream off your sweetheart's pie. And the day he comes home is of course the real thanksgiving -- if it were me, I think I'd have the whipcream ready -- but no pie. :)

Well, you made it! Congratulations!
I enjoyed your story about the whipped cream and stealing it from Carl's pie. And, I have to say, it would be much more fun to steal it from a grumbling spouse's slice than having a scoop of it placed on my own plate for consumption. LOLOL

MW,
There's something about that first leg of the journey out of Iraq (for the last time), that neither soliders or their families ever forget. Its like taking that first step into a new life that brings peace to the soul. Just a few more days now and the best Christmas gift for your entire lives.

Yes,, MW, you have to get used to being a wife again......
I mean having a man around demands a lot of things you've gotten unused to. Won't it be great? haha I'm happy it's over for both of you. Now, you can look to Christmas with the kids and the rest of your lives. Good for ya!
Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and I know you have much to be thankful for, as do I. Take care, God bless.
