What can I say besides I need some sleep. In the past 2 days I have gotten maybe 6-7 hours sleep. All I can say is that the hubby is leaving very soon and it's just now hitting me that he will be gone 7 months. I get very emotional lately when people ask me questions about his deployment and I know that's normal for any military spouse who has or is going to have a deployed husband. It's just completely draining all my energy. I try not to cry only because I don't want to worry him at all. I know God has a plan for each of us and that things happen for a reason but even then I know it's not a guarantee that he will come home. And that just plain sucks! But I have faith in God and I know he will bring him home to me alive, well & healthy. The same way I am sending him off. I know I will have my ups & downs just like any other military wife. I plan to keep myself as busy as possible & of course try not to stretch myself too thin. I am lucky to have my family so close by for support. Even though they will not fully understand what it's like but unless you have lived military style no one understands. I am just happy to have my family and friends here with me. I sure am going to miss his goofy butt.
So yesterday we celebrated his birthday at my mom's house since he will not be here. He had a blast hanging out with family & friends. It was a very nice day for the swimming pool. All my cousins, nieces & nephews were in the pool. They love my husband and since he is 6'2 and has the energy of a 5 year old they pretty much use him as human jungle gym. I don't think he minds though. He absolutely loves kids and I can't wait to see what he will be like when God decides to bless us with a child of our own. So back to the party. My uncle cooked for all of us ( there was about 30 of us there)...an assortment of different tacos and Tijuana (city in Mexico) style hot dogs wrapped in bacon...YUM! I ate way too much though. I had 5 tacos and a dang hot dog. I so have to work it off now. All the family also said see you later and good luck on his deployment to him. I am very happy he got the food he wanted and so much fun. Now today he wants to go to Best Buy and see if he see's anything to spend his b-day money on. What can I say...BOYS & their toys! Now when I get home I am going to try and get in a nap cause I am completely exhausted.
