Day 39

Really getting the full ‘deployment’ experience.  Not really, cause there are still people that have and will have it way worse.  The phone cut out when R tried call me yesterday at 2:30am.  I didn’t hear back from him after that which is totally not like him and kinda made me nervous.  I found out later that everything was okay.  Gotta love waking up and not being able to get back to sleep though…it’s GREAT fun.

I’m so excited for and proud of R today…he’s getting his first (and hopefully ONLY) combat patch today.  I know how much he’s looked forward to this day and we’s working so hard.  I just wish that I could be there to see it. Plus, he should be hitting SPC pretty soon and he’ll make it early so i’m super excited for him.  He’s such a good soldier and a great man and I can’t believe how blessed I am that he is with me.  I am so thankful. 🙂

Well, only 2 days in the office this week and THANK GOD cause I need a break!  I get to go take a one day course up in NJ then goin home to see the family this weekend.  Tricia’s baby shower is on Saturday…yay!!! 🙂  I’m so excited for her too and I can’t believe that she’s finally going to have little babies in just a few short months.  Ahhh!  Can’t wait to be an auntie again! 🙂
