ok so last night before i fell asleep the greatest thought in the world hit me: im going to fly down to georgia for when mark gets back from iraq and surprise him!! i figured he surprised me when he came home on leave now its my turn to do something big :) so i told his sister she is in on it...just to help keep things going smooth and help me keep it a secret (im terrible at surprises and keeping secrets like that lol) and i have his best friend who is over there in on it too, to help me with dates and get the low down so this can all go smoothly. so i am looking into all that i need to do: plane ticket estimates, seeing if i can rent a car (1. im not 25 but i have been driving for 8 years and 2. its 45 min from the airport to his post) and then if i will need to rent a hotel room or if they put him up in one when he first gets back.....so many details the more and more i think about it! but i just keep imagining him walking off that plane and seeing me and i am thinking about having a huge obnoxious sign that says "surprised to see me?" or something along those lines because i told him i probably wouldnt be able to make it because of work and needing to save to put down a deposit for our house. i decided whatever i am gonna make this work! pinch every penny and do some work on the side to donate to the cause haha. he told me he really wants me there this time when he first comes to the states and i really want to be there so yeah! this is the craziness i have been getting ready to plan since he will be home june or july-ish and that will be here before we know it!
