My brother and his fiance has finally selected a date for their wedding. It seems it'll be a big one! Much larger than ours, although it wouldn't take much to achieve that. Mike and I chose to elope and we'll eventually, probably for our 5 year anniversary, do it again on a slightly larger scale.

Mike says he saved my life this morning. :) haha. The C-RAM went off (that's our alarm system that warns of possible incoming rounds. If you hear it, you're supposed to immediately take cover or drop down to the ground). All I needed was the classic airline announcement "Take a second to look around you, as the nearest emergency exit may be behind you". When the alarm went off I started across the walkway to the nearest hardened building when only a couple feet behind me was a bunker. It didn't register that it was there so Mike grabbed me and yanked me into it. Had he not, I would have been standing outside a building which not much more protection than I would have standing in the walk way. Of course the 'incoming rounds' turned out to be nowhere close but my scramble gave Mike a good laugh all day.
