The Big Day

Well... tomorrow is the big day... I'm not quit sure how I feel about it. I didn't really have any feelings today about loading up all my gear onto the truck and watching it drive away... I'm sure tomorrow will be a bit different.. especially with all the emotions from everyone else going... The past few days have flown by, and now that I think of it.. the past 2 months Travis had been gone has flown by too. My cousin in law, who is pregnant said to me, 9 months fly by. I hope that she's right. I'm already excited to end this chapter of my life and start the next one with Travis.. I have a feeling a lot of good things will be happening in it! Kinda weird thinking tonight will be the last night in my own bed for the next yearish.....

Tonight I'm heading out for my last meal ;)  It's gonna be yummy thanks to Eddy and LJ Clark!

I'm thankful to be spending tonight with good friends :)

Preparing

Preparing for deployment has been pretty tough. A lot of longs days and hard training. The next month will be the busiest trying to get everything ready at home and making sure I have everything before I leave. Right now our going away Ceremony will be at Camp Dodge on the 28th of August, then we are off to Texas for some more training. Then it's off to the Stan.

 Travis left a week ago friday, so that's been rough too, but at least we will be gone at the same time. That's really good. It would be a lot harder if I had left first then when I got home he left or vis versa. I've had a lot of good friends keeping me busy too while Travis has been gone. They are life savers. I had no idea being away from him would be this hard. I miss him more and more everyday.

That's all for now. Short and sweet for my first post! Stay tuned for more updates from me!
