Sick and What’s to Come.

February 23, 2010

Sunday morning, I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. It sucks. I HATE being sick. But this winter has been seriously brutal on me, and I have been sick more than once. Which is unusual because I usually avoid the colds and such.
So I’ve been sort of out of it. [...]

And Then There Was One … Again.

January 24, 2010

Sometimes, the Army sucks.
I am alone again.
The husband left today for some training necessary for his recent promotion. We’ve known about this training for almost six months, but the fact that he’s going to be gone for almost TWO MONTHS still sucks.

Let the Redeployment begin! Well, sort of.

August 31, 2009

We got our first “re-deployment” email today. And, I have to tell you, it’s kind of crazy.
Don’t get me wrong, I am totally 100% excited that my husband will finally be coming home in just a few short months. And getting the emails with the timeline just make it all that more real. But I [...]

Post-Deployment: Round Two

July 7, 2009

Four months.
That’s what we have left until my husband comes home from his deployment.
It’s crazy to me that the time is almost here. To me it still feels like he left yesterday, even though when I think back through all this time, and I recount all that has happened since he left … when I [...]
