OK, you guys! I'm SO excited! My hubby just called! Woohoo! Apparently, there was a slight location change for Family Day at basic graduation, so they were each given 5 minutes for a phone call. My parents, my kids, my sister, her hubby, and daughter, all had decided to go to the beach (which isn't anything like the Southern California beaches - think 65 mph cold winds - ha!). My kids decided to "fall" in the water, and were all wet, but having a lot of fun. We decided it was time to go home, and started walking back up the beach to the parking lot, when my phone rang. I'd almost left it in the car. I didn't recognize the number, and thought it was a credit card place.
But it wasn't!!! It was CAPTAIN AMERICA!!! I had to practically put my jacket over my head to get the wind out of the phone. He wanted to know if we were in the car with the windows down!) He told me about the change in plans (about 1 1/2 mintues), talked to our oldest son, Jacob, about football and his campout (about 1 1/2 minutes), then I told him that we were all good, and everyone missed him (about 1 minute), then he said he had to go and that he missed us (about 1 minute). Then he was gone. But let me tell you, it was SO GOOD to hear his voice, to chat with him, even if briefly.
So, because I have this silly little smile on my face that I just can't seem to get rid of, I'm putting my WHOLE STORE on sale for 30% off! But, the sale ends 9/29 at midnight. So, you gotta go quick! I'm just passing along my happy mood to all of you! Thanks :)

So happy for you!
Yeah! I'm so glad you got to speak to your husband even if only for a minute. It takes away all the sad feelings you were feeling yesterday. ;-)
How wonderful to get to talk to him!
Here's a quote I heard tonight that I would love to see beautified!
Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
James M. Barrie
