I keep telling myself this, but even after a few weeks with him being gone, it still doesn't feel real. I feel like one of these days I am going to wake up and he is going to be laying there right next to me. The last deployment was waayyy worse than this. I knew he was gone the day I dropped him off. I hated life and every day seemed to creep by. I didn't think I would survive those 7 months. This is different...Maybe because I know what to expect. "Been there, Done that!"
I feel like I actually know what I'm doing! I don't stay in bed and cry, I get up and go about my day. I understand that life goes on. I know that tomorrow will be a new day. A new day to be me!
I've gotten quite a bit done since he's been gone. Bills get paid, the apartment gets cleaned, dinner gets made....I've registered for school and applied to a few places for a part time job. (One of which is almost 100% certain!)
I have also made some progress on our wedding!! We had to change the date due to some weather concerns but I found the place we are going to have it! The next step is putting our deposit down and holding a date! I have never been so happy....I just want him to be home so we can have this wedding. Things are moving along. Life is good!
I love my husband more than life itself. He is my hero, my life, my love <3
I can't wait to have him back!

The other day I spent a huge chunk of my day getting the apartment spotless! I opened up a box and what do I find???
BOOOOKKKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
So many that I haven't read yet! There is nothing greater than curling up on the couch to a good read!
Here are a few that I found:
If you need me, I'll be wrapped in a blanket, holding a glass of wine and nose deep in one of these treasures!! <3
