Ryan is opening his call tonight!!!

I'm dying! It doesn't even seem real yet, he's still just my little brother.  I cannot believe how fast time flies by.  I guess my dad was right when he said, "Oh you just wait, you'll graduate high school and when you look back it will all seem like a blur."  I remember this time last year, and found myself always joking with my family that it was looking like I'd end up waiting to get married until Ry got back.  I had always had a year dating rule or a 4 seasons rule.  Clearly that rule meant nothing to me, seeing as I got engaged 7 weeks after Corb and I started dating...yeeeah.  But hey, when it's right it's right.  Anyway, that was always such a concern for me, and little did I know I would end up being married before he left.

In just a few hours he's going to open his call.  I wish I had some sort of an idea where he might be going, but I have no clue.  He was told he won't be going anywhere 3rd world, because of an eye condition he has.  To me, that's actually a relief.  Corb is crossing his fingers he goes spanish speaking.  Who knows?!
