So it's official my man is on his way. He is as of now somewhere in this world I have no idea what country. I haven't spoken with him since last Thursday... which on Saturday I was knew that meant that he had to of left. Had this been five months ago I would have called First Aid or been freaking out. But this is good. This means he is coming home.
Jon hasn't been home for almost 8 months. I'm so extremely nervous and happy. I can't wait for him to be in our home again... I can't wait to remember what it's like to not live in silence besides Brinn's beautiful little babbles. It will be nice to sit in bed at night and talk about our day. It will be nice to pray together eat together, lay on the couch together, ride in the car together, go to church together, eat OUT together. These things are so many things that I took for granted when he was here. I took for granted the rides in the car, the dates, the movie nights, the sitting in bed together.
These are ordinary things that most people don't even think twice about. Do it, next time you're sitting there with your loved one take it in soak it up. This world you never know what could happen next it's so worth taking these moments and cherishing them as a memory :) I know I will be!
This year has definitely been one emotional roller coaster I've gone from good to bad in a minute some days. Lately its been good and I've been anxious. Anxious just to see him again and see him with Brinn. It just brings tears to my eyes knowing that he has missed a lot with her, I don't know how he does it. He never got to see her taking her first steps. He never got to see her drink a sippy cup for the first time. He never got to see her sit in the big girl tub for the first time. I think that this will be so amazing for them. Their time together is so precious. I know she will love him... I know she will remember him he is the most amazing father in the whole world. I can't wait for them to reconnect and I know it won't take long and they will be back to leaving me out and ganging up on mom.
Anyways I'm rambling on I'm just so excited I've cried probably 10 times today happy and sad tears. Anxious tears, tears of Joy and tears of oh my goodness my house is gross. I've cried about what I'm going to cook when he is home. Ya like get it together. So the next two days will probably go extremely slow for me. In two days I will be in his arms and that is all that matters.
Thank you so much everyone who has helped me this past couple months. Plowing my driveway and fixing my outside lights. Being my handy man and just being there for us. It means so much and I just can't thank everyone enough. Hoping I remember to blog when he is home. I'm sure I will ;) we will probably sit in bed at night and do it together!!!!!!! can't wait well I'm going to ruin my new computer with tears right now HA so I'm going to go and get some homework done because sorry Lisa Norris I will NOT be reading 8 chapters next week over spring break I will be snuggling up with my man :)
Nicole, I am so happy for you and John. You two seem like you know what you are doing. Married life is wonderful. What you are dealing with just shows how strong you are. You have a adorable and beautiful daughter. You are sooooo strong. I would never be able to do what you are doing. Going to school, raising a sweet daughter and all while you husband is deployed. My sisters husband is also in the Army and after what she has said and what you have said, I have NO place to complain when I say I miss Mike because he works 16-20 hours a day. He comes home every night. You are sooo strong. I am really proud of you. I didn't get to know you a lot in high school but I see that I could have know someone who has their head on straight. Thank you for writing in this blog. I did not know you had one but now I am going to read it. I also think that John and all those other men and women serving our country deserve a HUGE thank you for all they have done.
