Lets hope it won't be too long. What more can I say? All we can do is wait. Do you mind the waiting too much honey? There is a life time of happiness waiting for us once we do put our plans into action. It will be hard to wait now honey, but when I realize what happiness it will bring in the end I don't mind quite so much. As for getting home darling, rumors have it that we will start home next month. Possibly not to get discharged but at least there would be a furlough. Darling, you are now an aunt. That is if you want the job. I got the cable from Ken yesterday. It is a 7 lb 14 oz girl. As I said before, the name will be Karen Lee. Seems funny to have a girl in the family. They are both getting along swell.
