Staying Flexible

I miss my husband.

We're sitting on 21 days since he was home, which is really no time when you consider other various events where the Army has taken him away for a bit... but the house is still far too quiet. I suppose the situation has seemed more somber since our hopeful plan of seeing each other in 11 days has changed. Originally his platoon had an extra LT so they were going to be able to go on a rotating schedule where they each had a day off every week. Now, the powers that be saw fit to use that extra asset elsewhere.  I understand, and it's my job to be supportive, it just kind of stinks. I have learned over these last few years to be flexible and always be prepared for the possibility that plans will change. I count our blessings every day that we had some time to establish our relationship from the start in a military lifestyle. Granted, we've been spoiled these last 4 years while he was in school, but I think it has helped shift me back into this role much easier, with a little less heartache.

All in all though things are good! I've been spending my time trying to get all of our paperwork in order, shopping for wedding dresses with a friend, sitting poolside occasionally, and playing with the pup! I will say the house stays much cleaner with just one person living here ;) Jason is working long hours and I am bummed I can't be there for my sweet husband! He is out of his room by 5:30 every morning and hasn't been getting back until 9:30-10:00. Once back he still has to eat, shower, & possibly do laundry before he can hit the hay. He's staying very busy, so I'm praying that after the first few days things will settle down a bit so that he can rest! Right now we're looking at July 4th for our first visit so just a couple weeks longer than we thought!

We're also officially on the wait list for housing at Ft. Benning!! I'm thrilled! Praise God, it is definitely an answer to our prayers that everything went through.

Now to get a care package sent off for my love! Happy Monday everyone!
