And y'know what he told me just before he left? He told me that he's gonna take me to Disneyland, and stay from open till close, as soon as he gets back! Oh, that really made me feel better. It still sucks being away from him...anywhere between 7 and 9 months, Tinkeroon (gotta love the military) but the initial weight has lifted ever so slightly.

Originally Posted By Shiva >>just don't let him forget from opening to closing<< so many fond memories. Tinkeroon and I would always try to be there when the turnstiles opened and invariably ended up getting walked out of the park by security. It was always a special treat when some of them would call us by name and say, "Good night, see you tomorrow"...alas, it's gotten to be a little harder the past few years. It was *so much easier* when we were young. KP, you and Mr KP need to carry on the tradition for us
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Well KP, it look as it most of the Lp family has given you great advise and helped you through the first rough days of him being gone..but before you know it, it will be 7 months gone by and he will be home or almost home!! Don’t forgot I am here for you too.. *waves* ♥

Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 Thank you guys, he was able to get a calling card. We're only able to talk for literally just a couple of minutes, but that's enough for me! Ohhh...you guys better believe that I will hold him true to his word of "open till close" What's the phrase... A happy life is a happy wife...? Lol, the tradtion will be kept alive! I'm there right at the turnstiles in the morning, but security has never walked me out at night...how cool! And the only CM that has ever addressed me personally, and remembered me day by day is on of the Dapper Dans (Jon, is it?) He sang to me, and called me his Cinderella in one of their songs, and the day after, he noticed me, and said "Hi Cinderella!" DH, wasn't there...shhh, don't tell!

It's just great to hear the other person's voice and know that all is well. Again, Ah...the memories.
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 ^^^ Man, I remember when he was in bootcamp, he got to call me ONE TIME in the whole 3 months that he was gone...and I missed it! But there he was on my cell phone voice mail... aww, man! Ya got me going again retlawfan!
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Thanks for sharing your special moment on the phone with us. I am surprised and glad that he could call you so soon after his departure. May God continue to bless and keep you both safe.

Think about how proud you and all of us are of him and the others over there ! Start making cookies and send them(better make a lot) because I know how fast they go when home baked cookies get opened over there !!! You can get boxes for free at the post office, tell them they being sent to the military, You can fill them as much and as heavy as you want(as long as it doesn't bulge) and they charge one flat fee ! E mail me for Ideas. Please take care, hope to meet you at Dl one day soon !!(((((((((HUGS))))))))
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 Ohhh...you guys are gonna love this one... Mr KP was nearly ARRESTED in Tokyo! Ok, so here's how it happened... he and the other guys had to switch to a smaller plane in Tokyo. I guess the city that they were ultimatly gonna end up in doesn't accomadate international flights. Ok, so we're in Tokyo, and the airline wouldn't allow all the guys on the plane with all of their luggage, they had to split up. So, Mr. KP is in this second group, and he ends up having to check his bag, plus another guys' bag... everythings going fine, UNTIL they walk towards the gate to get on the plane... my husband then hears his name called over the airport intercom. They escort him and his master sgt. To a backroom somewhere, and question him about a liter bottle of zippo lighter fluid wrapped in a bunch of wires (????) Again, this bag WAS NOT his, it was the other guys' well, everything was explained and taken care of. My husband isn't in trouble, but he told me this other guy got a new one ripped! Tokyo security thought it was a bomb! They were told not to have lighters or anything like that at all, they even had to sign a bunch of papers confirming they didn't have anything hazardous! After he told me this, I just laughed... Thought you guys might've enjoyed this one too!
Originally Posted By Pollyana I am glad Mr. KP is not in trouble. I do wonder what was his master sgt thinking???? Sounds like he is not the sharpest tool in the shed....
Originally Posted By Shiva Poor Mr KittyPrincess!! I'm glad everything worked out ok. Small question KP...am I the only one wondering if you'll be able to work a side trip to Disneyland Tokyo out of this deployment?
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 Master Sgt. From what I understand, is kindof a jerk. However, since they've been over there, he seems to be getting a lot nicer, at least to my husband anyway. This guy that had the bag, I guess is a real *winner* and nobody was really surprised. He got in SO MUCH TROUBLE! It's his own fault though, he knew better. Oh Shiva, I've already thought about that! Where he's stationed though...he's pretty far. Waaayyy down South. It would be so awesome if I could work it out!
Originally Posted By Shiva >>It would be so awesome if I could work it out!<< KP, lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope the opportunity arises. Disneyland Tokyo would be nice but we both know that, for you, Mr KittyPrincess will be the major attraction. {{{KittyPrincess}}}

Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 I just learned today, that Mr KP is way ahead of his schedule, due to amazing planning on his part! So, his Master Sgt. is giving him off base liberty! Thanks guys for all of your happy thoughts They're all paying off!
