Dear Josh...

I love you. Twice this week I have been startled by Sam out of the corner of my eye thinking HE was YOU...he had on the ALMOST HANDSOME T-shirt the first time...anyway...it made us ALL really really miss you this week.

I found out today that Greg comes home June 4th. June 4th. He IS COMING HOME. That gives my heart hope. Whenever you get a release date I'd love to know. James Gardner is June 8th. Poor Clayton...he will be thrilled to have SOMEONE home.

I had a busy busy work week and that is GOOD. I'll have another this week. Michael leaves on the 22nd...he's not here very much so it won't be as traumatic for me as the other times he's left. Spencer graduates on the 27th of May and is in diligent job seeking mode. The DAY of sunshine we had was windy and SO nippy...but he was at the course! Sam is up to his eyeballs in baseball and will be for a few weeks still. They both have been glued to THE MASTER's on TV...Phil Mickelson won. Tiger came in 4th. The boys and Dad went skiing on Saturday...Dad was pleased because he never fell down...I was pleased because I didn't have to go:) I just worked and didn't have to feel guilty about it with no one home. Megan went to Vegas again with a group of friends for another friend's wedding...she left Thursday and got back tonight. She saw a Cirq de So-lei show and loved it. They all crammed into one room at Tuscany Suites. Guys and Girls. One bathroom...I personally would have paid the extra money for another bathroom.

The deer have eaten my tulips...AGAIN. I am having unloving feelings about them AGAIN.
2 new houses in the Ivory Homes development have started...it won't look the same when you get back. Great families have been moving in. Karie, Kimmie and I had a girls night out on Thursday and went to 2 movies and dinner...even though neither movie was great, it was FUN just to be together and be out. Kimmie is still as beautiful as ever, and Karie is still one of my BESTEST'S!!!! The house has been rocking for Spring Break. Most families didn't go anywhere with the economy the way it is. I was grateful...but we went through a boat load of food...and you should have SEEN the basement before Spencer cleaned it on Saturday...I was pretty much horrified for ANY female to go down there...poker chips, dirty clothes, popcorn, pop cans, fast food wrappers, cards, DVD's...you name it...it was EVERYWHERE. I'm ready for a REAL week tomorrow.

I 'm READY for a message from you. Did you get your package yet?
I love you!!!! Maybe I'll get to dream about you tonight....
