OH Friday!!!

Friday May 8th! So close to going home!
Next Saturday I get to go home for a few weeks. Its kind of bitter sweet this time. Don't get me wrong I am so very excited to go home and too be staying as long as I am, but "bitter" because the only reason I am staying so long is for my Dad. On Tuesday I got a phone call from my parents informing me that my Dad had been called up? Military talk for-He is being deployed for a year to the Middle East!!! :( It came as quite a shock to me since he is in the Reserves and 49 years old??? Obviously I don't know much about it since I didn't think they would be sending someone in the reserves and sorry Dad, but at his age??? Anyhow, I am staying home a little longer to help out with my sister and brother, hang out with the family, and just generally be there before he leaves on June 19th!

The sweet part is that I get to be home in the WARM WEATHER for a month with my family and friends! There has been so much happening since I have been gone. Friends having babies, adopting, getting pregnant, etc... Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on so much, but for now this is where we are suppose to be. I have loved keeping up with my friends lives through blogs. It makes me so happy to see the things going on in their lives. It makes me feel like I am somehow still a part of it all? Silly, but true!

Well 7 days until I am home!
Cant wait to see everyone!
