WOW! That is all I can think of. My husband decided to be sneaky and tricked me into thinking that he wasn't coming home until the end of the month but he ended up trying to surprise me! He comes home this weekend!!!!!!!! Let me tell you I AM SO NERVOUS! Every minute it become more and more true that he is actually going to be here in the flesh in a matter of hours. WHAT? Am I ready for this? Well I better be because no matter what he is on his way!!!!!
This year has been an roller coaster of emotions! But I MADE IT THROUGH one of the hardest years I hope to ever see!!!!!!! I know I wasn't in a war zone or fighting bad guys but I do believe that being left at home is a very hard job! There were days that I didn't think I would make it through or holidays I didn't think I could stand another minute!!!! But I did it!
Being an Army wife for a year has taught me alot about life, people, and myself. Life is too short! Enjoy every moment of every day. Surround yourself with good positive people. It makes your day much happier and easier to live through. There are hard days and there are good days. Push past the hard days and keep on hauling for the good days!!!
There have been many army wives before me and many after me. I don't know how these women did this all without technology. It was so nice to email, skype, and IM all I needed too. But, I couldn't help but wonder the wives in WW1, WW2, Vietnam, and Korea must of felt not knowing anything for many many months or not at all. Even during this war, the internet wasn't always available to many soldiers.. I am thankful for technology and being able to see my husband's face everyother week helped the time go a lot faster!!!!! It has been a crazy year, but I am glad I did it and even more glad it's over!
