E-mail...

The closer it gets the more impatient I become. I am constantly checking my e-mail for that update from our family readiness coordinator. I have read all that handy information they have sent out about welcoming them home....things to expect....I even pulled out the comic book we got last time.

That e-mail will be everything I have waited for since he left in October. I know they start their "journey" this week. I know he will be home....after that. I want dates. I want times. I want the place. I want it now.

It wont make time go faster. It wont bring him home any quicker...but it will make it real. It will be the concrete evidence I need to prove this deployment.  This long, sucky, deployment is really over. Well, almost over...

I have heard rumors.
In the world of the military is better not to believe anything....ever.
well, tooooo late!
I did. I believe it completely. Now I expect it....
I made a guess on what day he will be home, and now I am pondering a time, we have a bet going on in the house.

I want to be the closest. You don't win anything. I just like being right.

Why is it that the last few days are harder than the first few MONTHS?! They also seem to drag on 10X longer and slower.
