My fiance' is in the national guard and he come home for x-mas as everyone knows. But he is gone again and I won't get to see him until he comes home for his 2 week r&r. That won't be until like july or august probably. I miss him sooooo much and I cannot wait till I get to see him again. May god be with him and the rest of those great brave men.
