I’ve got so much to do to get ready for my hubby’s homecoming!  Laundry, housework, kids school work, my 2-3 daily workouts, grocery shopping, dye my hair, clean the vehicles, yardwork, bathe the dogs…this is going to be one helluva busy week!  Which makes me wonder why I’m sitting here at the computer!  :oP  Thing is, I know once my hubby gets home, I won’t be on here for a good 2-3 weeks because we’re going to be busy spending lots of family time together.  So, I want to make sure I get on here to show my support and encouragement as much as I can this week. 

I’m so excited to be having him come home early on the 9th!  It’s weird though…it’s almost like I never expected to find myself here, on this day in time.  I guess because for awhile there it just felt like February was never going to get here and I just missed him so much.  We’ve had our moments, way back, when we’d fight here and there…hell, we do have a 24 year history!  But, over the past 2-3 years or so, we’ve come to a very comfortable place in our marriage where we truly are best friends, lovers, partners…the whole deal.  We have a mutual respect for one another that is a true gift from God, and I will forever be thankful to God for giving me such an awesome man to be my husband for life!  Yeah…it’s true, he’s been gone a long time and it his coming home again is kind of like going through a honeymoon period where everything is just “hunky-dorey”…but these things I say are things I would say anyway.  So, don’t think they’re all just coming from the place inside me that’s been missing him.  hehe  You know that one saying, “All I want is for one guy to prove to me that they’re not all the same”?  He is that one guy for me.  He is far different than any man I’ve ever known, while still maintaining his “manliness”, which happens to be endearing to me.  It doesn’t matter what is happening in my life, whatever the stress may be…to be in his presence is calming to me.  Like a soothing balm.

 My head isn’t completely in the clouds though…I do know that while there is a honeymoon period where everything is just GREAT…there also is a period where we have to mesh back into our old way of doing things as a family and that can be hard at times.  But, we know the drill and are going to work together to make it as seamless a transition as is humanly possibly.  So, my head is in reality, too. 

He sent me two pics today.  I look at them and smile so damn big!  Pretty soon I am going to see him face to face again!!!!!  WOOHOO!!!!

I’m so happy that he is mine!!!!
