It has been 1608 hours since Gregory left and my list of accomplishments is piling up. I can figure out what is wrong with my car and either fix it or find someone who can. I have built a desk and a dresser. Kept track of all our finances, with both of us spending money thousands of miles apart, that is a real feat. I've finished the wedding plans, ordered almost everything we need, made programs, all the wedding flowers are put together thanks to me! No help at all! Ribbons and everything! I've made numerous decorations for the house, had surgery, kept my job, and managed to stay sane. I gotta say, who ever said a woman needed a man by her side? I'm just happy to have a man in my life who loves me as much as I love him. We adore each other and its wonderful. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, and return dates get pushed back a week and a half, we're both strong enough to handle it. I love my hubbins. :)
I cant wait to come home!!

Home Stretch
As I get ready for a hectic week ahead of semi annual and all its intensity, I'm taking a minute to pause, smile, breathe, and really be happy. Greg will be leaving Afganistan in the next few days, and I must say I am so relieved. The attacks on the base have been heating up, and with that every day I worry a little more. Its hard being apart. Very hard, but it will all be over soon.
Next Saturday I pick up one of Greg's co workers girlfriends, and also a good friend of mine at the airport and then its just a matter of hours and days until they return home to both of us. Until then however, I have roughly 40 hours to put in. I know all you people with real jobs, 40 hours is nothing, but this little girl usually works between 8 and 12. So yes, a big week for me.
We have some exciting trips coming up! No specific dates set yet since they're based on when Greg makes it back, but i'm excited. I'm hoping to go to Dallas for a 2 day trip, see the zoo, go to 6 flags, and stay in a nice hotel. Maybe even see the aquarium too. Then a few days later we're heading to San Antonio and going to stay at Lackland, AFB. 6 Flags again (we got season passes for Greg deploying for free, might as well take advantage!) Then Sea World we also get in free for being Military, The riverwalk, and hopefully the Warped Tour since neither me or Greg has ever gone to one.
The kitty cats are doing alright. Still bratty as always! I dont know what else to write about for now so Love to all~
