That’s what she told my wife, that I may not want to come home.

Ever.

This past Friday my esposa went out to dinner with a good friend. Like a reeeaallly good friend who we’ve known for a super long time.

This friend, I’ll call her Callie, and my wife, I’ll call her Lisa (mainly because that’s her name ; ) )were chatting about life, the kids, and of course the fact that yours truly has been overseas now for 6 months.

Now, I obviously was not there with them, so I’m piecing together the convo based on what was relayed to me on a FaceTime chat with my wife, and taking a wee bit of creative license…

*** the girls are talking now ***

C: What if he doesn’t want to come home? Seems he really likes it there and the lifestyle is so much different than it is here.

L: I know. And the photos from social media are so peaceful. He does say that it’s a much different pace, and he gets to focus on things in a deeper way.

C: I think he’s going to want to stay and that you guys might be living there for a while.

L: There’s a reason why I nicknamed him Planetboy, that’s for sure. I guess time will tell.

*** I’m back now ***
