I am so stoked...my son is coming home tomorrow...that's right he called last night at 2:00 AM to let me know that he would be arriving in HOT ATL Saturday at 7:20 am. He will be home for the next 18 days. My daughter will be arriving today around 4:00 pm. Let the party begin...kill the fatted calf...get the robe and don't forget the ring.
Here is we I'm going to do over the next eighteen days...
1) According to my wife be at the airport tomorrow by like 4:00 am. She doesn't want to be late.
2) Go to I-Hop first thing Sunday Morning. My son plans on eating at every fast food place and I-Hop every morning.
3) Help lead a Best Practice Practicum. Dang it...been on the calendar a long time...however it is going to be awesome and it at MLC so I don't have to leave town. I hope I can get my son to come by and hang out with us a little.
4) Shop for motorcycles. Dave is planning on ordering a Harley Night Rider so we want to go check them out and I'm looking for something so I can cruise the country with him once he gets back.
5) Watch movies and play a lot of playstation.
6) Go fishing...since he doesn't want to camp...we will go catch some good size bass.
7) Have a big party on November 3rd. We have all of our family coming in from out of town and a bunch of friends coming over. I think we have nearly a hundred people confirmed.
8) Attend church together as a family. Since I am taking a lot of time off it will be neat just to go to church together.
9) Maybe take a road trip or two.
With all this said...please remember to pray for our troops...my son spent his last two days in Afghanistan in the Hospital visiting 12 guys from the 82nd Airborne 3rd Platoon that got caught in an ambush. One of them lost his leg...another got hit in the groan area...all of them were cut up with shrapnel and shot up. These are the guys he served with. He called me and asked me to pray for them. I asked him how he was doing with it and he told me he was mad and wanted to go back and take care of business. Coming home is hard on these soldiers...they are so committed to each other.
When you worship this weekend thank God for your religious freedoms and pray for our troops...pray for peace on earth and good will toward all men. Thanks.....david
My son in law is in Iraq and my daughter and 2 kids are with us while he's there - its a constant reminder of the sacrifice families make to ensure our freedom and lifestyle. Thank you for making a sacrifice as well!
