A wonderful distraction

We just found out that some military friends of ours are stateside for a bit. The real exciting part is that they are going to stop by our house and stay for a few days. We have only seen them once since we parted ways for duty stations in 1996, but they are great at keeping touch. She was an army friend of mine that I met during basic training and went on to school with and he was a good friend of Ryan's in the Corps and he was a groomsman in our wedding. We are so excited that they and their daughters are coming to visit. It really gives me a great purpose in this time of waiting. So, I'm off to clean the house now and get ready for our visitor tomorrow.
