Countdown

I am having trouble sleeping because I am so excited about Mario coming home soon. He leaves Kabul in a couple days and will start his journey home. He is tentatively scheduled to be home a week from Monday. It seems almost too good to be true. We are all so excited. I even cleaned the garage today so he wouldn't come home to a disaster. While cleaning it, I discovered a lot of boxes (we keep the box to everything since we move so often.) I then realized all the things I have bought while Mario was gone. He will come home to a new TV, dvd player, sound system, TV stand, Playstation 2, Vitamix and dehydrator (I am sure I missed a few things). He's going to think I shopped the entire time he was gone. I guess I have to do something to entertain myself while he is gone. Time to get back on a strict budget.

I'm so excited for you that Mario will be home soon. Sad, that Charles will be leaving soon for Afghanistan.
