The "D" word

Deployment...yuck! Getting ready and although I hate to admit it, it's coming nearer. But the sooner they leave, the sooner they return. It's like this every time....a visit home and then they're gone. BUT I'm trying to look at this as positively as I can. 1. It's going to be shorter this time. 2. I get alone time (and everyone knows I need that!) 3. I can work out A LOT and he'll see how much better I look when he gets back 4. I'll be busy with all the projects I have going on 5. I'll be DONE with school! We have a lot going on in the next few weeks. Going back to Michigan for a visit, and then moving into our new home. It's a shame that I am going to have to get settled in the house without him, but it gives me more time to adjust and get things exactly the way I want them. I'll have little projects to keep me busy and hopefully a puppy too by then! Yes, we are going to get a puppy. So in all this sadness and anxiousness that we have going on right now, I know it'll all go by quickly. There will be lots of surprises when he returns- hopefully I will physically be in better shape, and I'll have things all ready, unpacked and organized in our new house. Which means also tending to the outside (eeeek)There's a lot ahead of me! I will miss this little noisy apartment, and the lack of skills you really need to live here. Trading it in for a quiet house really will be nice, and everything to keep me busy over the summer. Enough with the depressing "D" word, I will look at this as positively as I can!
