Well, just a little over a week from now, I will be sitting in my home all by myself and Chris will be on a flight to Washington State. I am really not looking forward to this long journey but I am hoping that it will go as fast as this date has approached. I really don't like this being in limbo business either. What I am talking about it the 10th-12th where Chris has to report for duty at the armory and he has to stay up there too because we live more than 50 miles away from the Cities. So while Chris has to be there I am kind of obligated to stay up there too until he gets off because it makes no sense for us to have 2 vehicles up there. I just don't know what I am going to do while he is at the armory all day. On the 10th though, they are having a dinner for the members' family and friends and fortunatly Chris' parents and my dad are able to come to the dinner as kind of a last goodbye type thing. My mom will be in Arizona visiting her sisters so she won't be able to attend but I'm glad, and I know that Chris is too, that my dad can at least come. I know my dad is really excited that he can give his son-in-law a good send off. There will be lots of picture taking I am sure and I just have to figure out how to put pictures up on this thing so I can keep everyone updated!!
I am also kind of sad that I don't get to see him off at the airport either! Chris pretty much told me that I just get to drop him off the morning of the 12th at the armory and that's it.... :-( I know my mother-in-law, Jane, is very worried about me driving home that day.... I know I will br crying, a lot, but I told her not to worry as I will have my trusty waterproof mascara for those 3 days!
Well, I suppose there is no sense in dwelling on it as it is inevitable no matter what! I really just wish it was this time next year where I could be writing to you all that Chris is coming home soon....hopefully it will go by super fast! I best go start that grill as I have to make Chris his last homemade steak dinner he will get for awhile! I will post more soon! Thank you everyone for your prayers and support..... :-)
