Getting a Little Antsy...

Last night Steve and I had one of our usual Skype calls. Have I mentioned how wonderful Skype has been for us while Steve has been deployed? Technology has come such a far way since the times of women sending their husbands and sons off to war and rarely receiving any form of communication from them. Thank God for the invention of a little thing called the Internet.

Steve has started to receive a possible timeline of his return home!!! It looks like it could be as early as October 9Th and shouldn't be any later than October 15Th!!! While this is all subject to change, something I've learned happens frequently in the military, we're keeping our fingers crossed that he will be home in a few weeks!!! I will keep everyone informed on any updates that we receive! Thank you for all your support and best wishes!

Last Month of Being Husbandless!!!

The excitement of knowing my husband will be home is starting to creep up! I'm allowing myself to get a little excited, but not too excited in fear that this last month will drag on. It's still hard to believe that Steve has been gone for six months, and that next month I will no longer be a party for one. I think being able to talk each other just about everyday has made this deployment for the most part fairly painless. Don't get me wrong, seeing your husband through a computer screen is not exactly the same as being able to reach out and kiss him, but I'm not complaining.

So, I'm keeping myself pretty busy in this last month of being husbandless. Over Labor Day weekend my long time best friends, Liz and Stephanie came to visit me at our townhouse in Clarksville. We saw each other back in March when Steve first deployed when we traveled to Charleston, SC to visit Liz. You know it's kinda cool when you have those friends where you can just pick right up where you left off. Well, that's the kind of friendship I have with Liz and Steph. I know that we might go for several months without talking, but no matter what we will always be a part of each other's lives. That is what you call a true friendship right there.



Last weekend my parents and myself traveled to Frederick, MD to visit Steve's parents. It's so great that our families get along so well, and that we enjoy doing things together. Steve's parents showed us a wonderful weekend. We went to Gettysburg and toured the new museum and we also ate lunch at the oldest establishment in Gettysburg, called The Dobbins House. That was pretty cool! This house was even used as a safe home for runaway slaves along the Underground Railroad.




They also took us to historical Alexandria, VA. This was a very eclectic and artistic town. Right up my alley. There we went to The Torpedo Factory Art Center where we came across floors of open studios and galleries of local artists. We also had lunch at a gorgeous restaurant right along the Potomac River. Great, great trip! What a way to spend a weekend! Thanks Dave and Sharon!





So, I'm keeping myself busy and I hope before I know it I'll have my husband back in my arms! I'm counting down the days! Yippee!!!
