I’m going to consider today a major milestone since we are now 1/16 of the way done with the deployment. Aaron has his leave dates for September and I have my plane ticket :D I’m excited to see him. We’re going to see the sites in Philadelphia and then spend some time at a B & B in the countryside and do some wine tastings and look at gardens. Nice and relaxing. Unfortunately I know as I fly back to Duluth he will be getting ready to board a plane to fly overseas.
Bagley and I are staying busy. We just had my parents, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my nephew up to Duluth. We went and saw some of the sites but it just wasn’t enough time. Then we went camping up in Eveleth. Bagley and I shared our 2 man backpacking tent. He was a pillow hog – but when I got cold in the middle of the night he was an excellent heater.
I also sent Aaron his first care package. His birthday is next week and he’s going to be getting nine pounds of nuts and other miscellaneous things. I didn’t know what else to get him – he didn’t really want anything he had to lug overseas – so I got him lots and lots of salty nuts.
I’ve started communicating more with other army wives - Its reassuring that I am not the only one missing my husband. It’s also nice to know that am not the only doing some crazy house projects (painting, rearranging, ripping up gardens,…) to keep me busy :)
375 days to go
