He's coming home!

Yes, Mr. Top Gun is coming HOME!!! Not sure when, but I got the call last night at the lovely hour of 5 A.M. Now, here's the thing about calling Mrs. Top Gun at ungodly hours:

1. I either sound drunk.

2. Sound like I am on drugs.

3. Talk really, really loudly.

4. Can't find my darn phone, thus knocking the glass of water over on my nightstand.

5. Find the phone, answer it and end up clicking the "Ignore" button. Nice!

I was so hesitant to answer, because I figured it would be more bad news but it wasn't! I should have Mr. Top Gun in my arms in the next few days, so that means a few things need to get done around Casa Top Gun... Change the sheets on the bed, straighten up the house, clean the bathroom, get my nails done- yes. My nails. It is vitally important that I look my best when I jump into his arms! When he called last night, I asked him why he called so late.

Mr. Top Gun: "I'm all done. I rocked this flight, flew the heck out of the plane and got NO downgrades!"

Mrs. Top Gun: "Why are you calling so late? I was worried about you."

Mr. Top Gun: "Well, I was drinking with my crew."

Mrs. Top Gun: *blinks eyes, wiping sleep from them*

"At THIS HOUR? Who drinks at 4 or 5 in the morning?"

Mr. Top Gun: "Love, I fly planes. And when you fly in the middle of the night, your 4 or 5 A.M. is like my happy hour. Besides, it's tradition- you know that. I buy alcohol for my instructor (s) and the rest of the crew."

Mrs. Top Gun: " Yes, I know that. So, ya'll drank it all?"

Mr. Top Gun: "HELL YEAH, we did!"

I am just so happy to know he is coming home to me! We have a lot to do when he gets back (PCS, anyone?) but, we can finally close this chapter of our lives. Phew. What a relief! I recently spoke with Mr. Top Gun, and he told me was resting, so he could go out with the guys and "hoot it up" together before they all leave for different sides of the world. Oh boy... it looks like my evening may be filled with silly text messages and perhaps a VERY happy phone call from Mr. Top Gun! Hey, they ALL deserve a night out, and I am so proud of Mr. Top Gun and his fellow Top Gun buddies. They did it, and it's over! *GOOD JOB, GUYS!!!!*
