I'm going to miss you guys.. I loved speculating and discussing army wives on here as well as the other boards.... And SUNDAY NIGHTS!!! ughhh.. now Sundays are just boringgg Sundays! Can not wait for season 2.. Army Wives is always in the back of my mind, im serious, i'm always trying to figure out what is going to happen next and thinking about all the episodes... OK.. I will admit, I'M OBSESSED!!!!! So glad I was flipping through the channels and found it! And I will admit it was Frank's attractiveness (is that a word?) that drew me in!! -- Erin, 17:13:00 08/29/07 Wed [1]
