And the countdown is on!!!

Well, as of today, I can officially say that my husband will be home NEXT WEEK!!! Now, which day...that's a little sketchy. But, next week!!! I talked to a friend of mine who's hubby is with James tonight. She went out to the base tonight because the 1st group of guys arrived. I told her that she is so strong to be able to go show her support like that, knowing that her husband would not be getting off of that plane. Knowing that she would be watching so many other wives and children greet their Marines. That takes a strong person, a great friend. I'd like to think of myself as strong, but I don't know that I could hold it together for that. She went to show her support and I commend her for that. She called me on her way home and told me how wonderful it was to see their homecoming. It made it all so much more real to me. Since having Colton last March, I have not had any trouble falling asleep. Well, tonight (and I'm afraid the next week and half) was a totally different story. I was tossing and turning, watching stuff I've DVR'd (the best invention EVER) and now I have such terrible nausea. I took nausea meds over an hour ago and they're just not working. I'm going to be a mess tomorrow. Looks like I'll be making an early morning trip to Starbucks!

I can't believe hes coming home the same week we are! Life is odd. I'm so glad hes coming back. Its been hard to watch what you've gone thru even though you've done it so gracefully. You make it look effortless. Hang in there one more week!
