hey guys, got some really great news. and i just wanna get some suspense going for the time being. my mom only just told me today. she told me that she's known for a while now, but just wanted to be entirely completely positive that it would be happening. so, today while we're out, she finally tells me why it is that i need to be able to get out of classes next week. y'all wanna know yet? hehe...

so...what it is, is...

my dad's coming back. after having been deployed on january 6, 2004, he will be back sometime between the 13 and 15 of next week. it's soo cool because we didn't expect he'd be back before christmas, like many of the other soldiers. he is very lucky, because a lot of units are being held until january or even until april.

so..that's my big news. great that he's coming back. he'll get to pin rank on me next week at my promotion for rotc. i hope he's proud.
