Hubby has been stuck on the eastern side of the country for over a week now because of snow. In all the brilliance that is the U.S. Military they sent him over to pick up new uniforms. Yes... uniforms. Can't just mail those out could they?! No they are making the soldiers travel all over Afghanistan to pick up new uniforms. And do they get to exchange them? No! They have to keep the old uniforms that they cannot wear and turn them in when they demobilize. So my hubby that I love and adore because he is so smart took all those uniforms in his sea bags to the post office on base and mailed them back to his FOB. The snow has finally stopped and the sun is shining; however, there is no traveling out of the airport due to some conflict going on between the US and Afghanistan... it's always something.
So we are on Day 222... don't ever let anyone tell you gets easier because it does not. You just manage. You take it day by day. But day 222 is so much better than day 2. Every day is a day closer to my husband coming home. And since he went back after R&R we have Face Time... the best invention ever! Seeing my husbands face is AMAZING!
128 left.... give or take - since nothing is ever set in stone with the military. But I can't wait til this part of our journey is over.
