I have good news! My son is coming home! Well not technically "home," but close enough to touch! He will be arriving in San Diego next weekend and then it is off to Camp Pendleton for the next month. That is about two hours from where we live, but don't think I won't be going. It is a lot closer to drive to CP, than to Florida! I will be there with bells on to pick him up and drive him to CP. We will, of course, have to stop on the way and have lunch, or dinner, or whatever. Semper gumby in the works, since we don't know what time the plane will be coming in. ~grumble~
Anyway, I mailed him his Cakepops for his graduation. He has yet to tell me if he received them, but we still have another week until he leaves to come West. He better share them when they arrive! He is known for being a fat ass in our family-Mr. Bottomless Pit when it comes to sweets. So if he gets a stomach ache, he will have rightly deserved it and I won't have sympathy.
I can't wait to see him next week, which so happens to be the day before Easter! Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could come home for Easter? Well, I think so! However, we are not holding our breath. The needs of the Corps come first and this is what he signed up for. I can keeping hoping though and maybe keep a finger or two crossed in the mean time.
Until next time,
~L
