Today was Mother's Day. I stayed in my jammies until 5:15PM. I would have stayed in them straight on through, but my friend Palma invited me to her house for dinner. So, I felt like I should probably have normal clothes on instead of my nightgown and a robe. . . My oldest son stayed in his undies all day until I made him put clothes on around 5:30pm and my youngest insisted on getting dressed around 1:30pm today. We did nothing all day. I haven't been such a bum in years!!
I got a phone call from my soldier tonight too. Bliss!! It was so great hearing his voice, especially after such a rough week. He told me that he had been told that he won't be deploying until April of next year! YAY!!!! He said, "So that means you'll be moving to Texas if that is ok," and I laughed and told him that I had already been looking for houses out there! It broke my mama's heart though when I told her. She had been so excited that I might be moving in with her. I'm sorry Mama!! But this is going to be so exciting!! I can't wait!
He also told me that his sister who is currently in the Army and deployed will have a 10 day leave and that she is visiting him on May 25th. He asked me if I'd be able to come back to GA to meet her. It is a Tuesday. And I don't know if I can pull this one off. It's a seven hour drive, so I can't really make a day trip out of it. . . but I can't spend the money on a hotel and stuff again too, especially since I'll be there on June 2nd. . . I'm gonna have to see if I can't work some sort of magic here. He told me it wasn't a big deal if I can't, I'll just have to wait another six months to meet her.
My spirit is soaring right now. I'm so happy to have gotten a call from him. And I'm so excited about moving to TX. I can't wait for this new chapter/adventure to begin!!
what great news
