Joey.

I love that The Big Squid has such a big heart. He pretends to be a heartless douche bag(and sometimes he really is), but I know the truth, he saw a fellow squid in need and opened up our home to him. Although, I won't say the fact that a new XBox didn't come into play there. The Big Squid has this friend, let's call him MikeKilo. He is our Joey, I haven't talked about him while blogging to be respectful that he might not want to be included, but I have been informed that he might not feel that way.
Homeless upon return from deployment, MikeKilo called our couch home for a spell. He was the driving force in our oldests new SpiderMan infatuation, due to them playing his SpiderMan XBox game all the time. It was adorable how certain she was that her controller was doing all the brilliant moves she was seeing on the screen. He was at my birthday party embracing the Mustache theme by not only sporting a glorious blonde creation, but also talking in character all night. He delighted us with what is quite possibly the best sausage gravy I have ever had. From a full on Lady GaGa halloween costume to Call of Duty free for alls, trips to Cracker Barrel and Barnes&Nobles, fancy Light Saber fights and diaper laundry mishaps, Creepy "wolf" pelts and being an incredibly loud drunkard, he was something else. I won't lie, I have bitched my fair share about some of his..........single, guy behavior, but in all seriousness he is missed around our humble home. He has found a new place in the city to hang his hat and I quite feel like a proud mom whos oldest son has left the nest. Proud and somewhat relieved that he is gone, but slightly worried and missing him. I can't wait to see his new place and I do hope he comes back  for lunch, to play some Call Of Duty and make some brinner. We love you MikeKilo!
