Surprise! We’re moving you to Fort Bragg, because you promoted, and we need First Sergeants right now, so when you get here you’ll probably get a company within a couple months.
Surprise! No, no you’re not getting a company. You’ve been away too long. Oh, and you’re getting deployed.
Surprise! Your husband isn’t leaving for deployment when you thought he was, it’s actually a full month later than you expected.
Surprise! So, about that deployment thing.. remember how you were supposed to get that job, and didn’t, and we’re deploying you? Just kidding. I mean, you’re still getting deployed ‘n all, but, you’re not staying deployed. You’re being sent back early to take a company.
Surprise, kids! Your mema is coming to visit. Just kidding, it’s not your mema, it’s really YOUR DAD COMING HOME EARLY!
Surprise! So, um, this is why I’ve been a little quiet 😉 Tee hee! We were just a tad busy with this…
And this…
And this…
It is SO SO good to have daddy home, again. *big smiles*
