So Robert will be coming home in less than 2 months. Yes, I am extremely excited for so many reasons...
- I get my cuddle buddy back
- I'll get and get to give tons of hugs
- I'll get at least one 'real' meal a day :)
- I won't have to drive all the time
- I'll have someone to come home to and tell about my day
- We get a second honeymoon
- I'll have a reason to get a little dressed up every once in a while
- We'll try to complete our bucket list for HI
- I'll finally be able to breathe
There are so many reasons to be glad this thing is almost over but as other military wives can confirm, the end of a deployment is just as bad if not worse than the rest of the deployment. The range of emotions experienced is astounding, I find myself extremely irritable one second and rediculously happy the next. I am anxious and just ready to close this chapter of our lives. I always feel like I'm forgetting appointments or other important things, like shoes. I daydream about the homecoming... it usually resembles a scene found in Nicholas Sparks novels :) Let's not even get into what I'm going to wear to the ceremony. Feeling overwhelmed sets in quick and I start thinking about everything else...
- Will he mind that I rearranged the furniture?
- Does this mean I have to keep the house a lot cleaner?
- What? Cereal's not okay for dinner?
- I was really enjoying only doing laundry twice a month
- He better notice all those hours I put in at the gym
Oh the rollercoaster that is the end of a deployment.
