today is amazing

Yes yes yes thats right!!!! 4 MONTHS DOWN in this stupid deployment! 2 more months to go! I can’t believe that we are here already. It hasn’t really been as bad as I thought and here I am only days away from spending a little over a month with family and I just know that time is going to fly by. It’s going to suck going through the holidays without Chris here with us, but it will help the time we have left apart go by so much faster.

I’m watching this show right now that this guy is sitting here talking about how 10 days away from family is really hard and he misses them and is homesick. And all I can think is "dude, do you have any idea how many times I’ve been away from my husband for 10+ days since our marriage" I mean seriously… come on?! 10 days? That’s like nothing. Lets see in the almost 2.5 years that I’ve been married we have done WLC-15 days, GG-10 days, TDY 1-5 days? I think, TDY 2-16 days, deployment #1- so far 123 days and we still have 2+ months to go. Not to mention while we were dating/together/engaged we only saw each other once every 3 months or for a couple days. We have probably spent more time together then apart in our relationship but not my much. And then he is going to come home from this deployment for 6 months and turn around and deploy again for another 6 months. And this guy is seriously talking about how hard it is to be away from his family for 10 days?! It’s almost annoying to hear something like that lol.

But ok ok… enough griping about other people lol

I don’t have the buy the stroller after all. One of the ladies from my mommy group is going to let me borrow hers. Its a MacLaren and I looked them up, they are like the umbrella strollers of umbrella strollers and are around $200! I’m kinda looking forward to borrowing it. And on top of that good news, someone posted up about a promo for baby slings for FREE all you have to pay is shipping so I got a $45 sling for just $20 instead of the $65 it would have been to order and ship it! Score! AND Nicholai slept through the night again last night! Triple score! And today is 4 months down in deployment…. yes….. today is an amazing day and the only way it could be better is if Chris wasn’t deployed lol.

Ok… entry for today in… I have to look up bills and make sure that I’m not falling behind.
