John is officially at home back in the Army National Gaurd! Because he is in dental school he was moved up to a lieutenant (which he feels strange about and feels he doesn't deserve). I went with him the other day to get my I.D. card and everyone was calling him sir and when he is in uniform they all salute him. It was a little wierd to me. I have to admit I made fun of him a little and kept whispering "sir" to him and laughing. He get's all serious in "army mode" and he kept shushing me. I told him he knows who the real officer is around our house! ME!!! It was fun. And he really is happy to be back. He truly loves to serve our country in this way and feels it an honor. If I let him, he would go active duty and go to Iraq tomorrow. But it's not happening if I have any say in it! I love this soldier!

THAT's great!!! Congrats to John! He's a great man, always so willing to serve. Glad you guys got some alone time and got to escape for a little bit! I love what you said about the real officer around your house. :) I always tell Curt that I'm in charge and what I say goes. :) ha ha ha!
