What I found today :)

My platinum wedding band!
My husband and I eloped and used cheap gold bands to get married (almost 9
yrs ago). Last Christmas he bought me a platinum band, to match what we
call my *fancy* ring. We were never engaged but after I had baby #2 (5 yrs
ago 2 weeks today) he bought me what essentially is an engagement ring. My
gold wedding band didn't match, so he bought the platinum band last year.
At the end of my pregnancy with baby #4 last summer, I was too swollen to
wear my ring so I took it off. I *thought* I knew where I put it back in
May. Not there, couldn't find it anywhere. Happened to look today one last
time (where I've already looked) and found it!
And on my birthday!
And I got flowers from my husband (if he can send them from Iraq, other guys
have no excuse – lol) and a call!
If everyone here has half as good a day as I've had so far, you'll be okay
:)

Bummer. Isn't he on a ship? Can he call?
Mine calls for free since I'm on base.

He can't call unless they're in a port. :( He gets to e–mail me a lot
though. Not the same, but better than nothing I guess.

If you get really down, just think about what a miraculous
blessing email would have been to those of us who had fathers
and/or husbands who were overseas in the 1960s and 1970s
(not to mention Korea, WWII and WWI). My parents wrote
each other every day when my father was overseas (as he was,
for approximately a third of my childhood) and I remember how
long it took letters to arrive (2 weeks if you were real lucky).
(Also how strange it was that the letters from Viet Nam didn't
require stamps and instead my father would write free in the corner
of the airmail envelope.)
So technology has really blessed those of you with loved ones
away in the military! & I hope every one comes home safe and
sound.

My husband doesn't pay for postage now from Iraq – he just
writes "free" in the corner :)

have calling cards then either. Oh there were also MARRS calls. Really
fun
to say "over" after everything you said and knowing the operator was
listening cos you could hear him breathing – lol.
