Thursday March 3, 2011 & Friday March 4, 2011
It has been a busy couple days for me, which has really been a blessing! I am so glad to keep busy and make the time go faster, even though I am exhausted. It's a good kind of exhausted. I've been running errands and hanging out with some of the ladies here, as well as going to class, etc.
It is actually about 2am on Saturday that I am writing this. I just got home from a little get-together. It is probably the last one we will have before all the guys are back home. So it was nice to have some girl time and talk about what we still need to do to get things ready, what we want to wear for the homecoming, and share all our hopes and fears of the adjustment period.
Luck for us it probably won't be too much of an adjustment. It still will take a little getting used to, but definitely not as difficult as the people who had one-year or more deployments. But no matter how long they were gone, they were still greatly missed and all of our lives were turned upside down during that time. We all had to learn how to do things without our "better half" and figure out a new way of living, with the ache of our certain someone missing from our lives.
I actually feel really fortunate that we were able to communicate as much as we have. There were only a handful of days that we did not get to communicate. It will be so nice to be able to see his face in person though!
I am getting a little ahead of myself because we still have a short time to wait, but it's close enough that I am allowing myself to really dwell in the homecoming and how wonderful it will be to have him present in my daily life... in person!
