So, background:

My best friend in San Diego has known this guy for years. I was with her when she met him. They dated briefly, it didn't work out at the time, they have been good friends ever since.

He's in the military. He went to Iraq last year and had to back a few months ago. Before he went back he was staying at his home town in Alabama. He called my bff up and asked if she'd wanted to hang out in Alabama before he left for Iraq. She said she'd love to but that it was short notice thus she could not afford a ticket. He offered to pay for her and that she could pay him back later, so she went.

She shows up and he tells don't worry about paying for the ticket. That going to Iraq last year made him realize what was important in life. He said that he's been waiting for a chance and now that he did, he had to talk to her before he went back to Iraq (she had a boyfriend for a while and they broke up a few months prior to this trip to Alabama). That they've been good friends for a long time now and he couldn't hold it in any longer, he is in love with her.

And ever since they've been love birds and he's so sweet and nuts about her.

He's now in Iraq and was supposed to come back in December, but he was told he is now going home in November.

He emailed me and asked if I would be willing to visit San Diego the exact day he comes back from Iraq so we could surprise her. He said that she talks about me all the time and that she misses hanging out with me, etc. "I know it will make her SO happy, please say yes."

Of course I said yes!

How cute is all this? SO CUTE. I am so excited and I had to say this somewhere so I don't blow it and say it somewhere she'll actually read it.

Okay? Okay. :P

SO EXCITED!

That is effing heartwarming.

It's sweet to know that love and real friendship still exist. :)

Well that's pretty cool, I thought it was going to turn out to be a drama thread but it didn't. So that's nice.

I'm like Helvete. I was holding my breath waiting for the drama but it just turned out to be a nice story. Guess I'm cynical. I'm heartwarmed by your friends.

Sorry I gave the impression that it was drama but glad to see you all share my "awww" response. :) I just had to share. I knew I'd end up spilling the beans and ruining the surprise if I didn't let it out in some form to other humans!

Ain't no drama in me nor my bff's life right now. I think our good karma finally arrived for us at this point in our lives. I just got a 40% raise and have an awesome boyfriend. She has an awesome apartment and wonderful fiance. Things are good.

Except my cat. He's the devil incarnate. But I guess not everything can be perfect.
