Thanks for stopping by, follow me through my year!

Well this is all pretty exciting for me. I am new to the "blogosphere" but thought I would document my journey through another deployment.
This is the fifth deployment for my husband, and each one is different and difficult in its own way.
There are many men and women out there just like me; spouses, fathers, mothers, sisters brothers, and children. So many of us that put our lives in a bit of a holding period waiting for our loved ones to come home.
For most of us, we know the sacrifice our soldiers pay, as well as the sacrifice each of us pays while they are gone!
For better or for worse, we keep the home fires burning.

Feeling grateful for the small victoires!

I am so thrilled this morning - I was able to talk to Doug on ichat. So really not just talk, but see him. I did not expect to see him until next week sometime, so that was a real surprise and joy! I wish Seth had been up too talk to him also (hope he is not mad I did not wake him up).
Last night around midnight Doug called from a hotel, they were all there for the night because a pilot was snowed in from the NorthEast... GOOD on the side that I was able to talk to him and hopeful I would be able to do so again this morning (and I was) but BAD in the sense that he would have that much of a delay in getting to his final destination.
As expected it was rough to fall asleep last night - all alone, and it will be for a few nights. Like many others in my shoes, you just deal with it!

But to make myself feel like things are a little like "normal" I put some of his old pill bottles on his vanity so it seems like he is still home... pathetic, really...

So now I just wait to find out when he will fly out from his current location to head overseas.

Have a great day y'all - I'm gonna work on doing the same thing! ♥
