Comin' Home on Leave!
Well, I spoke to Ty last night - his leave started at midnight and he plans to drive straight thru to Gabby's in Cali - 22 hours. He's nutz. Oh wait - no - he's in love lol! Those kids plan to actually tie the knot. I find it hard to put into words how I feel about that. Hopeful, of course that it will work out. But the back of my mind keeps adding up all the strikes against them. Per Ty "they are not young & stupid". He said his sargeants or whoever talked to him for 2 hours against getting married. One said "I got married at 19 and look how f***ing miserable I am". But it didn't faze Ty one bit.
Plans are for him to sign the car over to her so she can sell it. He's pretty sad about losing his jeep - I could hear it in his voice. And it seems they are planning some sort of civil ceremony, I'm not sure. I just know family is not invited. Per Gabby they will do the big ceremony/party etc in 2 years when he comes home. Well...that big IF that lives in every Army mom's head is hard to ignore. The big what if he doesn't come home. It hurts to even type it out. Maybe that's the whole reason for the marriage, I don't know. Making sure Gabby is taken care of in case that happens. Making sure someone is waiting for him while he is off fighting..who knows. Dear God I hope they know what they're doing...
Anyways I am hoping to snag them for at least 2 days. The way his leave falls, I will only have 2 days off while he's here. So I requested to use one of my 2 sick days to take an extra day. We are hoping to take them to Kennywood one day and to the gunclub on another. Dom, who runs HOOAH radio, is supposed to be in Pittsburgh next week and plans to go to the gunclub. Something he and Bob got together on. So would be really cool to have Ty come when Dom is there.
Well, I have more cleaning to do - this house is such a mess and if they stop by here they can't even sit down anywhere. Oh, and doesn't it just figure within hours of sending Ty money for this trip at the last minute ( the other money got used up repairing the jeep) our fricking dryer broke. It's always something isn't it? But in the big scheme of things, it's not too bad.
