well it happened

So i held on to so much hope that this deployment was going to be cancelled just like all the others, but looks like instead it finally happened. Now I think to myself. What to do now? Well on the upside to this is i start my cosmetology school tomorrow, and im looking forward to it, not only cause it will help time pass, but because ive been waiting to do this for quite a while now. Keeping busy is probably the only thing i can do right now to help ease the fact that he is gone for about 6 months and there is nothing i can do about it.

The day he left was heartbreaking for me, and i am so thankful i had two of my girlfriends there with me helping me through it. They both helped keep me busy that weekend so that i was not at home crying every night. I thank them for that. I am so grateful for the friends i have made here,and if anything im glad this deployment is happening now and not all the ones he could have gone on earlier. if he would have actually went on the ones that he was tasked earlier in the year, i feel like i would have been lost, I didnt know the area as well and i hadnt had the close friendships that i do now.So as much as i didnt want this deployment to happen, im also glad it happened now then before or later.

Im already looking forward to his return home. It will be so exciting cause we have a trip home planned for Christmas. We will have some debt paid, and will be able to work on goals and plans that we had set fourth.

In the meantime i am going to stay strong, for him and I. I will keep thinking that it could be worse he could be gone longer than 6 months but hes not, and that it is summertime, and summers always seem to fly by for me. Keeping my head held high :)
