Holy Cow. 10 months ago I would have never thought I was going to make it, but I sit here this morning with a little over a month left to go. (not allowed to give out specifics) It is a concept that is hard to grasp, that Joe will be home soon, but yet I am so darn excited. I guess I'm not the only one that is darn excited either, Miss A is right there with me.
I received our shirts in the mail yesterday for when we pick up Daddy. Again, another thing that tells us it wont be long now. We are down to 4 weekends on our wall, knowing that it is acually less than that just adds pep to my day. Miss A is a smart one and goes home saying "only four more weekends!!" Oh if she only knew!
I really do have to say that if it wasn't for Miss A I do not know how I would have survived this whole experience. I know I would have made it with my amazing family, Bennigan's family and Minnewaska family, but I think having something/someone to look forward to every other weekend really did help. I thank the Lord for that. I also think it was just easier to start at a smaller number for a countdown...haha.
So here we sit at about 1 month, 4 weeks, or about 35ish days. Wow. Now it is definitely in high gear to plan that party on May 26th!!!
This was fun to read this morning too!! I can't believe we are finally soooo close to be done too!! I'm glad you had Abby to help you through!! I read the part about who you guys had shirts made to wear when you pick Joe up! That's an AWESOME idea!! You should post a picture of the shirts! lol They'd be fun to see!! Glad our countdowns are much smaller now! Can't wait to hear when you have Joe home for good!! :) Keep it up lady!!
