A few more days......

Well, here I am on Sunday afternoon, totally losing my mind. I cannot believe Mark is coming home in a few days! It seems like it will never get here. I spoke to him yesterday and he sounded so great. He is out of that bad place and somewhere a bit safer. He actually uttered the words "I am safe" to me, it was music to my ears. My body is so full of anticipation, I cant stand it. It is going to be the best feeling to have him back in our home.

In the meantime, I have been busy cleaning the house and making his sign, which came out quite good, I might add. I hope he doesnt get upset about what I wrote. He is a funny guy, as most of you know, and he likes to call himself the War Machine. My sign is as follows:
I love you
Captain Liston
War Machine

I hope he gets a kick out of it, I know he says that to everybody, so I think he will get a chuckle out of it. So, now its just a matter of getting thru the next few days. I have been busy researching our next duty station. We talked about buying a real nice house and renting it out after we are done there and then retiring back to that area and maybe Mark could get a job teaching part time at the academy. He had some help coming up with that idea, he told me so.... but I really think its a good one. I have been looking at houses and it is going to be a huge leap from where we are now. I just hope we are able to get something decent and not a total fixer upper for a ton of money. More storage would be nice and an extra bedroom, I dont think thats asking too much is it?? Anyway, it will be a great area to live in with lots to do and alot closer to my family!
Speaking of which, my niece is getting so big, I can stand it. She is so damn cute. I cannot wait to see her in person at Thanksgiving. I cant believe that she is three months old! That time went by fast, now the next few days need to go by fast!
Well, I guess thats it for now. I have a few more things to get done before I can relax for the afternoon. Til next time.....
