3 more days...

Its hard to believe that the past 6 months have flown by! I remember thinking that this deployment was going to be a walk in the park compared to his tour in Afghanistan back in '08. Boy was I wrong! I guess you can say that their are pros and cons to every deployment, either way your strength as an individual and also as a couple is definitely tested! For example, on this MEU Chris was never put in danger but he also wasnt compensated for being deployed. When Chris was in Afghanistan I talked to him almost every single day because he roomed with a guy who had a satellite phone. On this MEU I was lucky to get a phone call or email a couple times a week. I could list a million reasons why these two deployments were different but in all honesty i dont think it really matters. All that matters is that he is coming home in 3 DAYS and that our relationship has only gotten stronger! Now getting through these 3 days is what is going to be the challenging part. I have to straighten out the house a little bit, thankfully most of the deep cleaning is done! I have to go to the grocery store and get all the little snacks and junk food that Chris likes so that he has something to eat when he gets hungry. I have to give both the girls a bath (that should be interesting lol) so that they smell good when daddy gets home. Oh ya, and I'm scheduled to work the next two days as well. With all of this I'm sure that it will keep me more than busy until he arrives. Still seems unreal that he is coming home... almost too good to be true ya know?!? Well I guess I should get started on my to-do list lol. Wish me luck :) I'm sure the next time I decide to blog that Chris will be home!!!
