Ready

- Last night we made a sign that says, "Welcome Home Daddy!"

- Yesterday we went grocery shopping for all of Matt's requested foods. Apparently there is a severe lack of vegetables and ice cream in Iraq.

- Saturday I did our yards for the LAST TIME alone!! And, might I add, they are looking goooooood.

- Tomorrow I am shipping Bennett and Jace off to a neighbor's for a few hours so I can get down and dirty with my house. I will also be deep cleaning my car.

- Wednesday night I ordered a new dress off the Internet to wear on the homecoming field. Pray it gets here in time...

- Tuesday, mine and Bennett's hair were both recreated by my fabulous neighbor friend who works at a very posh salon and I am just lucky enough to know her personally. I will also be getting a manicure and pedicure tomorrow. I feel so grown up.

- A professional photographer has been arranged to meet us at the field when we are reunited as a family. As a military perk, this is costing us nothing.

- A weekend getaway trip and babysitter has been acquired for some much needed alone time.

- My page-long list of projects to be done before Mattie gets home has been completed for several weeks (except the organizing of our printed photos, which I highly doubt will ever be done).

We are ready.
Now all we need is Matt...and a healthy dose of patience...
