14 days

OMG!

from JoeUser Forums

I was IM-ing with BlueDev the other day when he asked how long until my husband comes home.  At the time it was 16 days...and when I told him it kind of hit me that it was that soon.

Now I'm down to 14 days.  2 weeks.  It's not sinking in (yet).  Not next Friday, but the Friday after, I'll be making the 20 min drive to the local airport to get my husband.  I'll be going to get him, and I'll be bringing him home.  I can't fathom it, I really can't.  After over a year of being apart (all except for a couple of weeks), after a year of near-catastrophic events...he's coming home.  Wow.  Wow! 

I get my Dave back....and we get to know each other all over again.  I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome of a feeling this is!

Dave, I know you read my blog.......I love you, and I cannot wait to see you again.  Seeing you come up that concourse towards me, knowing that you're not going to have to turn around and leave again anytime soon...well, it's going to be awesome.  I think I'm going to be laughing and crying at the same time - laughing because it's going to be over, because we did it, we survived this separation and we're still together and still in love. Crying because...well, because I'm a girl and we get emotional about these things.  But they'll be tears of joy, not of sorrow.  I love you...ad infinitum.

2 weeks and counting.....

Yay!  That is so cool!  I'm sure you'll fall off the blogging scene for awhile when he first comes home.  I'm sure you'll be busy doing other things

How soon after he gets home do you move?

How soon after he gets home do you move

He gets back on the Friday evening, and we leave Ellsworth for good the following Thursday.  We have the weekend with not much to do (I did that deliberately) but the packers come on Monday and Tuesday..and they pick up our belongings on Wednesday.  Then we have to clean the house to inspection standards (the important things are done already) and our final inspection is at 1300 on Thursday. 

After the 17th of August it's going to be hit and miss as far as bloging and emailing goes.  I'll be able to use my in-law's PC once we're there, but once we leave....I won't be around until after we move into our new house and get internet access and all that stuff set up.

I think I'm going to email people my cell phone number so I can at least be kept up to date with what's going on around here!

Yes, I admit it...I'm hooked and the thought of not being able to blog scares the crap out of me!

I am sure we will go through Karen withdrawl when you are not bloging as much. We will have to rely on email and snail mail!
