    OMG!! Right now I feel like i have only one nerve and everything is leaning on it,,lol. I'm getting raw with the nerves. Poor KB acts so cool, but I caught him pacing down at the barn,,,lol. KB has already ordered a welcome home cake in town for him. I had to laugh. I think he's getting more nervous than I am! Then last night he was in his cupboard going thru his sweatshirts and shirts,, pulling out motorcycle shirts, rock shirts, hoody jackets, a winter jacket incase. lol. He's as bad as I am.

    I catch myself tearing up in the eyes now and then, from happiness, not sad. I'm just so dang happy. Now if the weather will co-operate all will be fine. lol. He is comming from the desert to the artic,,poor him,,lol. And all his platoon are so jealous,, they want to come here too!!

    7 more days to go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I have started to make more cookies and brownies for him. Altho by the time i get them wrapped or stored, KB has them half gone.

    Happy Birthday Joshua!!! My little boy is now 21 yrs old today. Well actually at 11:45am. When he gets here for his birthday, we are taking him to a rock concert, dinner and a party afterwards. Okay dinner first.

    taken right before he left for Iraq. Ignore the date, he can't figure out how to change it. Its my camera so I guess I'll have to do that for him when he gets here...

    A very Happy Birthday Josh. Celebrate it in style when you get home and have a drink on us!!
    I became a mum for the first time at 21 - now Duncan is 35!!!! :eek: Where does the time go?

    I love that first piccie Biita - Cousin It from The Adams family right? My daughter once dressed up as Cousin It at Halloween - her hair was down past her bum in those days. :stew1: Now my 'baby' is 25 years old. Gawd I feel soooo old. :(

    Not long now until you see that handsome son of yours again. :-D

    I will show my son this thread and make him say thank you to all,,lol. (thats what moms do)

    Between Josh and KB, I'll never get out of the kitchen,,lol. But luckily they both like to cook also. Josh is a BIG eater, at 6'3" and 195 lb. he can put some food away. Whats amazing is his sister is just as small and delicate as he is big. lol. Heres my daughter Brittany and her husband Stan. (Stan is Norwegian also) but they live in the states in Tacoma, Wa. for the moment.
