Married life is wonderful! It's so weird being able to experience it again...it's like starting all over again from the beginning. This is the first time since we have been married that I can honestly say we are 100% stress free. There is nothing to worry about in our lives right now....just time to sit back and enjoy it. In the past it was always ( Read more... )

He said he'll be leaving late tonight for the airport and then most likely arrive in Schweinfurt late afternoon...4 or 5pm or so. Oh I can't wait!!!! I hope they don't change it again. I hope this is for real and they really will be home ( Read more... )

Today is one of many days they said James would be home. Ha! Yeah he's still sitting in Kuwait having the time of his life. Hurry up and wait. So true, I love the army. Oh well. Today was a fun day! Amanda and I went to Ikea and both spent about 100 euro on fun things for the home. After spending hours there, coming home with all of it, I already ( Read more... )

James left for Iraq. It's hard to believe he's been gone so long. I remember clearly watching him stand in that last formation, putting his rucksack on, and heading for the bus...Waving goodbye and knowing it would be a rough road ahead. Although it's still not over, not long before he's home, and this deployment hell is over with!

Today is the day James was supposed to be home after a LONG year in Iraq. That all changed a few weeks ago when they told him he's one of two lucky guys in the squad that get to babysit the vehicles in Kuwait. After about 3 weeks of date changes, it looks like it could be the 21st or 28th that he should arrive in Schweinfurt. How frustrating to be ( Read more... )

Hard to believe we're half way through this deployment! It doesn't feel like it's been 6 months already. I guess that's a good thing? To top it off...not even a month until my visit home! I can't wait! So many people to see, places to eat, and SHOPPING! Oh such fun! :) Hard to believe it's been 2 years that James and I have been married. So much ( Read more... )

As of tom, it will have been 3 weeks since James left! I can't believe it's already been three weeks! The only bummer is that this doesn't count towards the 12months of being deployed, because he's still in Kuwait. :( The countdown doesn't start until they step foot in Iraq, which could be any day now. Man, gotta love it. I've gotten two phone ( Read more... )
