1) I'm at work, and my boss tells me I'm going to get orders to a guard base in Hawaii, and everyone else in the shop is getting orders to the main base on Hawaii. I'm really excited, and I'm not sure who to tell first. I start thinking in my head how I'm going to write this on my blog. I call my Dad and start to tell him, but I stop because I'd rather tell him and Mom at the same time, plus I feel some strange obligation to write it on my blog first, too, knowing that my parents won't read it. So I tell my Dad that I'm coming home right after work that night. He's really silent on the phone for a minute, so I know he knows something's up, but I'm now sure if he knows exactly what.
