The empty room

For almost a year now, our daughter in law has been living with us. We moved her in right after Seth left for Iraq, early last December. Now, she's gone. We moved Katie to Fort Hood this weekend...to a very nice house on post. I can't help but smile...even though I have sore muscles and an aching back...because the empty room is a sure sign that Seth is almost home......woohoo!!! Need I say more???

On a side note, yesterday was our wedding anniversary. Ken and I had planned on celebrating by going out to dinner and a movie...but that was when we thought Katie wouldn't sign for the house until tomorrow. So, instead of spending a romantic evening together, we spent the evening with Katie and Rick, toting boxes and furniture, putting things together, eating pizza, and sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. I swear, some of the things we do for our kids...... :)
