Wedding Bells

Heard from Ty last night - I was about to go to bed and the phone rang. We had our usual rocky start to the conversation - "hi!! how are you?" pause "good" pause "What ya doing?" pause "not much - you?" pause "not much either". But eventually we got to talking. I really hate phones.

He got his Stryker license and he should get another pin or medal or something for his dress uniforms. He was telling me about PT last Friday - they did some special thing instead of just PT. He said they took the fat guys/guys who can't run into the woods somewhere (to be casualties) and I guess the other guys had to find them and put them on a stretcher and bring them back. At least that's what it sounded like what they did, to me. Ty said thier guy who can't run ended up showing up late and was with the rest of the group instead of being a casualty and they had to keep waiting for him to catch up. And the Sgt somehow didn't realize there was a lake in the middle of where they were headed so they had to go around an extra mile and were the last ones to get done.

Wedding is planned for May 14th (Mother's Day). Gee last year I got a nice bouquet of flowers - this year I get a daughter-in-law. I can't for the life of me see what the big hurry is, especially since she's not going with him and he will be gone for 18 mos. Just wait the 18 months...the kid hasn't even lived yet. But it's not my life or my decision. I just hope it works out. Forever is a long time!
