Day 200 Time passing slowly

We have hit 200 days. It doesn't seem to be any faster. I'm so glad January is over and we are another month closer to homecoming. January has been really slow. In some ways it felt worse than July when he left. But I try to stay positive and look toward the future.

Day 175 Officially halfway

Today marks 175 days of deployment... We are halfway through and its all downhill from here :-) looking back I can't believe we made it to this day. 175 days is a long time but it has kind of gone by quickly. I just pray the next 175 days goes as fast. I am adjusting back to work and hubby being back in Afghanistan. We had a wonderful time together. I enjoyed being off of work for almost three weeks and am looking forward to this summer. I've already begun packing for my move. And we now have FaceTime which has been so nice. I love getting to see my husband every day.

Day 170 What a blessed 2011

2011 was by far the best year of my life and I know 2012 is going to be just as amazing.

January brought me the man of my dreams, my best friend and soul mate.

February was filled with a trip to Washington state and a marriage proposal. And news of deployment.

March was when I married my love and was filled with more travel to the Washington DC area and Washington state. We also celebrated my nieces 7th birthday.

April sent my hubby to Louisiana for training.

May took me to New Orleans to visit my husband and I also turned 39.

June brought hubby home before he deployed and we traveled to Canada.

July was spent celebrating the fourth with my family in San Jose and the birth of my niece on the tenth. Hubby left for Afghanistan and I began counting the days until his return.

August was survival mode and adjusting to deployment.

September was my nephews fourth birthday and another month closer to hubby's return.

October was my sisters bachelorette party in the Bay Area.

November was the month my little sister was married in Tahoe. Thanksgiving was spent with family.

December brought my hubby home for 15 glorious days. We spent our first Christmas together and spent three days together in Las Vegas.

I truly cannot believe we have made it almost halfway through this deployment. It doesnt get easier but it is all downhill from here. It was our last time saying see you soon. Next time he is home for good. And I am so excited for the day he returns. I look forward to the day we find out when he gets to come home for good. 2012 brings big changes with my move to Washington state and I am slowly packing my stuff for the day he comes with the U-Haul.

I'm so blessed and can't wait to see what 2012 brings.

Happy New Year!
