So I have been trying to keep busy while Chris has been gone. We have passed the 2 month mark and he will be home in 4 months for R&R. I have work during the week and on Saturdays some of us girls get together for shopping or dinner. We end up back at one of our houses and play games and watch movies all night. Sundays are always errands day. So I keep pretty busy. I get to talk to Chris on a pretty regular basis too. Saturday night while at a friends house we both got an email about a loss of one of our soldiers. He wasn't in Chris' company , but he was in his batallion. He was a victim of a roadside bomb. Please keep his family and our Brigade family in your prayers. I didn't get to talk to Chris until Sunday which was the longest wait ever. As soon as something like that happens they cut off all communication for soldiers so nothing gets out before next of kin is notified. So it is pretty scary not getting word from your loved one even though you would already know if something happened to them. So needless to say it has been a rough holiday weekend. You know war is real , but it hits you really hard when it's so close to home. I just can't wait until they are all home and he is safe with me!
We are moving on post in April. I have to do the move without Chris so I have already started packing. The Army will move us , but I need to pack. I'm excited to get on post.
We are going on vacation to California in June/July. I'm really excited to see family and get some time with my husband. The beach will be nice too! =)
Please keep me and the others in your prayers.This deployment is going to be tough on the soldiers and their families. It's already showing that....
