Just over 24 hours to GO
« on: August 20, 2006, 14:12:28 »
Beer is in the fridge................

Crown Royal is on the counter.......

Ice in the freezer......

Steaks are maranting.......

House is almost  ready.........

The Canadian flags fly ........


Now all I do is wait, cause after a long hard tour,hubby will be home in just over 24 hours. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I just can't believe that he will be home tomorrow. It seems so unreal. With months of worrying and the brief phone calls. He will be home again...Just in time to cut the grass ( he he he he he)

Sorry just had to share. I have butterfly's in my tummy . I certainly understand stand the saying Welcome to the military now hurry up and wait .If you think you have had enough, try waiting some more.

You're giving me too much credit.  More like a Bologna sandwich.

Argh... I am not a patient person to begin with, so it's a good thing it isn't me.

Here's hoping the time flies by for you.

Glad to hear he is home safe and sound, and with his children! Hope your little girl sang him "his" song.  :)
---------------------------------

Camochick's husband will be home in just over 10 hours now! I just got off the phone with her, and as expected, she is so excited she can't even sit still. She has me all excited now too. I cannot wait to go to the LTF tonight with her to meet him. I've got my sign all ready to waive. Here's to everyone experiencing happy homecomings in the coming days!  :)

I'm hanging in there. My boss let me leave early because I was so antsy hehe. 10 hours to go and this is all over. I really do have to say thank you once again to everyone who has helped me out. The people on this site have been amazing and I really appreciate the time spent when I had a question, or just needed to get my Yarghhhhhhhhhhs out in chat. A huge thank you to Pea and Aesop (Cdnaviator) for all they have done, you are great. Now it's the waiting game.  >:D
