Mark is in port this weekend. He called me this afternoon and we talked for over an hour! His phone bill is going to be ridiculous this month, but it'll be the last one for years! And I tried to get off the phone...but it was so hard. :-) I kept saying "I should probably let you go..." and we'd agree to get off the phone, but then one of us would bring up something else and we'd end up talking for ten more minutes. lol. Man, I miss him so much. I hadn't talked to him for two weeks, but it felt like months. It was so nice to finally hear his voice and to hear him laugh--if only I could see the smile on his face to go along with the laugh! Soon, VERY soon! It's great to know that his homecoming is just around a few more corners. :-)

Have a great weekend, friends--and go 'Dogs!!
