One-Month Anniversary
Like a high school, puppy-love romance that’s lucky to last 6 months, I’m keeping track of my deployment time done by celebrating each month as an “anniversary”. It’s the last day of November; one month deployed…one down, five to go. The good is that it seems like the first month has gone by relatively quick. Of course, the bad is that I’ve got five more to go. I’m anticipating that January, the third month, will be the hardest. I think the length of time will start hitting me just before I hit the halfway point. Hopefully, moving into a roomy, hard-billet dorm room and enjoying the new MWR tent “sometime” in January will occupy some of the month. Then can I start focusing on being past the halfway point. Still, I hope Val and the kids have a mini-celebration today with some kind of dessert. Later tonight, I plan on enjoying a chocolate Zinger while I watch a “30 Rock” DVD, both of which Val sent in her latest care package. “Happy One-Month Anniversary, Guys!”

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart. I hope the next 5 months go quickly for all of us. We Love You and miss You! - Val
ReplyDeleteI was going to say instead of being like an anniversary it could be like a pregancy. You enjoy it at first...glowing with all the new changes..and then you start hating it and just want the whole thing to be finished and done.
ReplyDeleteStay active. Inshallah the MWR tent will go up in Jan and you'll get new dorms in Jan.
