Rachel came to visit!

Well, as promised, I would keep you updated on the goings on between now (or when I made my last post) and when my darling husband returns from his desert excursion.  Last week, a very dear friend came down to visit me!  It was so great to see her, but of course, I was completely terrible about taking pictures.  So, I don't have any except for the ones I took during our walk through Magnolia Gardens (which I will save for a separate post).  We went to Magnolia (which is one of the old plantations around here.  It is pretty much all gardens and the house now, but it used to be a rice planation before the Union army flooded the fields with salt water during the civil war).  Anyway, we walked through the gardens and went on the house tour.  Such a beautiful place.  We also did some shopping (of course) and I found a really cute dress to wear for Kyle's homecoming, ate some really yummy food and talked.  A lot.  It was fabulous.  I am so thankful to have such a great friend, who drove 10 hours each way to come visit.  Thank you Rachel for coming down, and hopefully I can repay the favor soon!

In other news, they have already begun talking (more like speculating) as to when everyone, including Kyle, will be home!  There is a plan but, as the squadron commander said, that plan "is about as firm as room temperature jello".  Ha!  For some reason, that phrase really made me laugh, because I have never heard it before and its so true.  BUT, they have started talking about it, so I will take it.  It's not any different than I expected anyway.  To say that I am excited about him coming home is an extreme understatement!  Not to long now... :)
