So I got KO's birthday present to me today.
There is a running threat that he has, if I don't tell him what I want he will resort to jewelry. I do not wear a lot of jewelry.
So.. I asked for a web-cam and here is what I got.
And it's beautiful and its my birthstone and he didn't get the web-cam. ;p He sent money for one instead. LOL Picked it up today.
With the present came a card with a poem by Emily Matthews. It is called "This Is My Promise of Love"
To believe in my heart
all the best about you,
To notice the sweet things
that you try to do,
To be your best friend
through both good times and bad,
To appreciate all of
the blessings we've had -
this is my promise of love...
To encourage your dreams
and to be by your side,
To remind you you're brave
for the things that you've tried,
To remember to show you,
in big ways and small ways,
You're the one that I cherish
forever and always-
this is my promise of love.
There are no words
for how much I love you.
You're my life,
my happiness,
and the one
who will always have
my heart.

I have typed it as it appears on the card. Now for the inscription he wrote.
Ahem...
"Happy Birthday. They didn't have our web-cams. I figure this visa can buy you one and get dinner for you and the kids too. As for the jewelry... well, I warned you.
Love Matt"
I will be having limited time on VR for the next several weeks.
I have a woman's conference here on base where I live on the 13th of March, I have been asked to be a guest speaker and instructor. (Woohoo for Friday the 13th!!!)
As many know from posts in my journal my friend Camilla has finished her radiation treatments. Well the 16th of March is reconstructive surgery and I have to have here there at 5:30am.
The 17th is Department of the Army Accreditation at the office and I have to make sure all of my files are in order per regulation. (Which they are but people are being anal.)
Then to make it even more fun... I may be having eye surgery on the 20th of March. It will be decided on that day and it will be an outpatient procedure.

Busy woman, good luck
So I am talking to KO on Skype, yes we got it working finally, and I get a phone call on my house phone.. Normally I would have let it go to voice mail but I decided to pick it up.
Its my brother Michael.. He has just arrived in Afghanistan and wanted to let me know he was safe and ask what FOB Matt is on. So I give him the information and guess what.. they are currently at the same FOB. Opposite ends but still the same place..
They will be having lunch or dinner together tonight. My step mother is very glad that they are, for the time being, at the same location. I do not know how much more she can take because Mike just told her that Lesley, his fiancee, just came up on orders to Iraq.
I think I will need to go see my Dad and Step Mom here soon...
