Home for Christmas

Mark is on a bus today, heading home from Ft. Lost-in-the-Woods, ahem, Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Judging by his letters and phone calls (yes, he finally got through by phone), I'm expecting to see a "new man" around here for the next two weeks (when he's not catching up on his sleep, that is).

I've heard people talk about how the Army experience changed their lives; how they learned lessons they will never forget; how it built character within and unity with others; how it made them appreciate things they took for granted before...

It may sound funny, but I think the Army has done a few things for his Mom and Dad, too.

I'll keep you posted.
