Yay! And when do you plan on getting some sleep? :P

Sleep? Whats that? hehe. I think I will re-clean everything I have already cleaned at least 3 times already! Tomorrow I will do the rest of my laundry, go grocery shopping, wash the car and get Luz a dozen roses! Shhh! don't tell her about the roses!!

I just bought him a TV and DVD player for his room. When he gets here I will give him my new 30Gig 6gen iPod. I am also going to get him one of those stereos that the iPod docks into. He should be set 'till I get the cash together for a new XBox. I plan to spoil him as much as I do Luz!

Good work. However, my Wife was ready to go, although tired from the journey. The adrenaline had us out for dinner and drinks.. You may be suprised. Be prepared for that.

I know the surreal feelings you are going through during the final hours before she arrives at the airport. Your life will indeed change! Congratulations to all three of you Gary, you have earned this moment, and a very happy lifetime together.

You two have handled a very tough situation with a great deal of calm, and helped a lot of folks around here along the way. May the rest of your lives together be filled with well earned peace and joy.

Ok, at least I can say I tried. I can't SLEEP!!!!!! I am tracking her plane right now. Cool web site that lets me do that! She will land in Minneapolis in 7 more hours! I can imagine myself on that plane right now. The movie is playing, she just had her meal and people are starting to settle in for the rest of the flight. I wish I could have gone there and flown back with her but the vacation time just wasn't there considering that I just took 2 weeks in Feb. No matter, I will try and get a little more sleep before I get up for good.

Thanks guys for letting me go on and on about this today. I needed someone that understands to listen. Your all great!!! :thumbs:

That's why we are here. (L)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Came by today to see any updates and can feel your excitement but try and get some rest. LOL been there, done that and gotten the Tshirt so to speak. Cannot wait for more updates! :)
