My wife, it would seem, pulled a fast one on me. She was released from her unit in Iraq a few days ago, but she didn't mention that to me. Instead, she just came home. Around 2:45 this afternoon, she called me from the kids school - she had just picked them up and was wondering if I could come give her a ride home.
So, if you haven't guessed, there's a good chance that blogging is going to be a little light for the next few days.

I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Her name is Suzette. She's a very nice girl. She likes to talk - something, it turns out, she's very good at.

Congrats Mike.

Its obviously a sly move by the Bush administration to terminate your recent spate of non-conformist postings.
Who says blogging never achieves anything!
What a great surprise! Congratulations to you both. One of my friends came back from Iraq recently and it's such a relief whenever someone comes home in good shape.
Yay! You both need some good surprises for a change.
Way to go Brother!
Congrats!!
Git on and happy honeymooning, you two!
*Hugs*
Congratulations!
Y'all have a nice time now ;)
Glad to hear it. Hope we won't be hearing from you for a while, but looking forward to when we do.

Some of the younger guys come back with dull skates.
It's good to hear that she's safe and sound. I hope she's home for good.
Yay!!! I'm so happy for you!
So we should expect you back in a week or two? ;-)
Good to hear. Best of luck.
