I guess you can say I'm Back...

On July 10, 2008, my husband, the love of my life left to Afghanistan. My parents, little sister, his mother, little brother and I drove down to Ft. Hood so that we could spend the day together. It went really well. We got there around 10:30am and ate lunch together around 11. My mom made him pupusas, which he loves. and the night before my dad went to the mexican bakery to buy him some sweet bread, which he also loves. It was hard. So hard to keep my emotions throughout that day. I did well though. As the day went by, it was finally time to go into the Gym in where we would have to stay and wait with theym until it was time to get onto the buses. And yes that time came...they anounced that they had 10 mins left...so naturally I started to get sooo many emotions all at once. Then they said we had just a few more mins and to say our goodbyes....that is when i let it all out..and so did he...it was so hard...he said that he wanted me to be the last person he would hug...so i waited for everyone else to say their goodbyes and then it was my turn...everytime i think to that moment, i just start to cry...like i am right now... They then got into formation and got onto the buses. As the bus left, I felt as if my whole world was leaving.

It has not been easy...the first few days were very hard. it has been 26 days since i last hugged, or kissed my husband...and i miss him very much. I thought that i was doing okay in dealing with this...but im not...especially not in the past few days. I had been doing okay...i was dealing with it pretty well....but i keep thinking about him, wondering how he's doing, constant...IT SUCKS! It sucks to know that the love of your life is gone half way around the world...and not for vacation but for our country...it sucks yes, but at the same time i feel VERY proud to be his wife. He makes me soo proud of him

He has been able to call me...he tries to call me everyday..there are days that he cant and i understand that. But i am very gratefull to God that we have been able to have that sort of communication..otherwise, i dont know how i would be dealing with this... He does have it had though. The company he is in now, is not his original company. He was with HHC in the beginning but volunteered to be the communications guy for Delta company because they had none. So he is now the ONLY communications guy at his location..but im pretty sure he will do just fine..

Soo here are a few pictures from that day...
