So Gregory will be home no later than June 5th. Pretty much garunteed. I say pretty much because nothing is ever a gauruntee. (I dont know how to spell that word ever.) But I figured since I'm back in Abilene with nothing to do until move in tomorrow morning I'd post a "things I learned from this deployment and my thoughts" post. So here goes.
Things I've Learned:
-Murphy's Law is true.
- It does not get easier. Anyone who says this is a liar and only trying to make you feel better. I wish I hadn't lied to myself. I expected it to be easier, and when it wasn't, it made it harder, so be real.
- When you're married, moving back in with you parents is not the same. Personalities clash when you are used to running your own household.
- Fishing is a great relaxation technique.
- EVERYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A BABY.
That last one is just because everyone I know is pregnant and I wanna be and obviously cant right this minute, and even when Greg gets back he's pretty iffy about the whole idea so we'll see what happens this fall/winter/next spring.
Song lyrics I liked on the way home:
"Damn these old wheels, rolling too slow, I stare down these white lines with so far to go, headlights keep coming, lonliness humming along. Who poured this rain, who made these clouds? I stare through this windshield thinking out loud. Time keeps on crawling love keeps on calling me home." -If my heart had wings Faith Hill. Perfect example of exactly how my drive went.
"I'm stronger than yesterday, now its nothing but my way, my loneliness aint killing me no more, cuz now I'm stronger" -Brittany Spears Stronger. Every deployment makes you a little stronger.
"I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive. I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise. To fly. I wish today it would rain all day and that will kinda make the pain go away. Trying to forgive you for abandoning me" -Fly Nikki Manaj Uplifting song about being strong by yourself.
Well those are my thoughts for the day. Peace out. :) I'll post pics as soon as we get settled!
