I've passed this way before...

For those of you who have read my wife's latest post about children leaving the nest and April Fool's pranks, I thought I would share a little something that happened very early on in our marriage. I had just entered the military and was a couple of  months into Basic Training when I received a card from Jacquie. Upon removing it from the envelope, the front read, in bold letters, "I'M PREGNANT". Well I went nuts...as in happy. I practically ran around the barracks showing everyone, yelling about becoming a dad. All were congratulatory. After I calmed down, I sat on my bunk and opened the card. Inside it read, "Not really, I just wanted to put a scare into you for Halloween"(it was October).


Guess I shoulda opened the card first....
