Sgt Kim's mid-tour leave.

I have a lot to update about !!!

First thing's first -- David, ahem, SGT Kim, came home last Friday. It's been so wonderful having my sweetie back home. I'm feeling all sappy right now, especially since I'm blogging while listening to sample music from our string quartet. Yeah, feeling pretty lovey-dovey right now. ♥

We surprised his parents the night he came home. We just went over to their house, rang the doorbell, and his mom answered. No tears! She was just in so much shock that he was home, since he was scheduled to take his mid-tour leave in March. It was a sweet moment, and I will always remember the look on their faces and the smiles all of us shared.

Saturday, we went to dinner at Burke Garden with both sets of parents and my sister. My mom got teary eyed hugging David, and actually started crying when she watched the video of us surprising his parents. It's really touching to see how much my mom loves David. She says she feels like he's already a part of the family, and really, truly, loves him. Dinner was nice. Dad was in a weird mood, but he's been down lately because my mom has to have surgery. Long story short; she has a slip disc and it's pretty bad, and yeah, the epidural and steroid shots weren't doing anything, so she has to have surgery. Yup. It stinks but I'm just trying to stay positive for her.

UGH, I wish I could update about one of the BIGGEST things that has happened, but David said that it's our little secret. And no, I am not pregnant!!! At least, I hope not! No kids until after we're married. And, we want to enjoy married life for a few years before we bring kids into the picture...



I'm so happy. We are spending each and every day of his mid-tour leave being as productive as we can, and just, having fun, enjoying each other's company, and relaxing. I love having him home, and it just gives me strength to be positive and strong for the next 6 months until he comes home, for good. That is, unless he re-enlists, but we'll deal with that when the time comes. We have one more week together, and it's going to be a great one. I love him with all my heart. He is, my best-friend, and my rock. ♥

Life is good. La bella vie, yeah... ;)
