Todd has been in the Army for 19 years, 4 months, and 12 days. The majority of that time he has been on rotating shifts (usually all 3 shifts), working weekends and holidays. Not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes weekends in the middle of the week are great :) but when he had to work on the actual weekend and everyone was out having cookouts and having fun he would sometimes be sleeping to go in for a mid (3rd shift) and that sucked. Well since he has been back from Korea in 2004 he has been what a lot of us refer to as a "day ho". Which simply means he works days with holidays and weekends off. It did take some time to get used to that. But my FAVORITE part about him being a "day ho" has got to be the 3 (sometimes 4) day weekends he ends up with!! They are simply wonderful. We get to spend a lot of time together and actually relax. This weekends just happens to be one of those weekends, so I am very happy :)

Happy Valentine's Day Lady! Enjoy the long weekend. I have to say it does seem like forever since the days of shift work.
