Thanks! I really can't wait. lol He'll be home for two weeks in November by the grace of God. We were originally told he wouldn't get R&R but some slots opened up and he got one. Woo hoo!
Just have to get through this mission and it'll be downhill from there. I'm already doing all the planning for dinners and things. His request: two full weeks of homecooked food! We've got steak and lobster for the first night with broccoli and carrots. Sauteed portabello mushrooms, onions and bell peppers to top the steak. His favorite meal.
I'm going to be doing a huge Thanksgiving spread with all the traditional foods. All made from scratch.
He's going to be soo spoiled. I'm going to get the smoker started here next week and put on racks of ribs and pork loins.
I'm keeping busy. Lots of cleaning and cooking to do. But it's well worth it!
