Getting Down to the Wire

Mellow Mushroom was tonight's dinner spot! I joined Rhonda, Rich and their son Kenny. Our friend Kathy came along too. It's the local pizza place and it's got some yummy Italian pie's.

I took my camera with me because I realized this week that I didn't have a single photo of Rhonda and I together.

We should have been taking photos all along of our antics here. We have definitely had a few adventures and I hope to keep them captured in my mind forever.

Rhonda and I have been through some ups and downs this year...but we've ALWAYS been there for each other...and we always will!! She plans to visit me in DC and I'll get to show her around my stompin' grounds, just like she did for me here.

I can't wait! I have so much to look forward to in the coming months!!

I even told Rhonda I would share my Dad with her! She lost her father when she was young. And I already know that my Pop would instantly love her as a daughter!! So...that's a promise I plan to keep.

Get ready Pop to welcome another girl into your family!!! Rhonda is just like your other daughters...she's a real "girly-girl" yet she's strong and independent.

This week she put down 20 bails of pine straw mulch in her yard...and about a month ago...she laid, I don't know how many pallets of sod out back. She can do it all!! Rhonda is one amazing woman!! She's another keeper!!

I'm getting down to the wire now. There are only few more days until I'm finally home!
