My brother called from Germany in the middle of the night (: HE'S COMING HOME!!! BUT, he said it would be easier if we didn't try to come down and see him since it's a holiday weekend and travel will be a nightmare AND he would like to spend some quiet time with his gf. My parents understand completely but it's KILLING us that we can't see him yet!! not only THAT but I leave tomorrow . . . I won't get to see him for 1-3 weeks. ): Life is so weird. Anyways, I am soooo happy that he's home. (: Really happy. And he'll be out of the military in 90 days! civilian again. I hope he's ok . . . ok, well, had to spread the joyous news. (:
