It's Time...

The dreaded day is here...Chris leaves on his first deployment tomorrow! I knew when he joined the Army, he would have to go, but I never imagined this soon. He has only been out of training for 3 months. I guess the one thing I have to be grateful for is that being a Ranger he only has to deploy for 3-5 months at a time. That is a lot better than the soldiers who go for 12-18 months at a time. I don't think I could handle that! Plus he would miss his the birth of our baby. He should be back sometime in May or June. I am not quite sure how I will do tomorrow, dropping him off, but we will see!!!

While Chris is gone, I will be back in Utah working. Part of the agreement, when I left Utah was that I could keep my job and work from home in WA as long as I came back there to work when Chris was gone. So, I myself better start packing and get ready to head back to Utah since I leave on Saturday.

I'm off to spend one last night with my hubby!

Happy New Year!

To me, New Years is just dumb holiday for those that drink to have another excuse to drink (as if they need an excuse)! For the rest of us, what is the fun in forcing yourself to stay up late just to say "Happy New Year!" and then go right to sleep? Well, as dumb as I think it is, year after year I find myself participating in the tradition. So, last night Chris and I rented a few movies and got a pizza. We really wanted to spend as much time as we could together before he deploys next week. But As hard as I tried though, I couldn't make it to midnight, I was sound asleep well before 10pm. I told Chris it's because I'm pregnant and I'm just so tired! I think I'm gonna love using the pregnancy excuse...hehehe! But he was sweet and just let me sleep. Then just as the clock struck midnight, he leaned over and whispered "Happy New Year Baby!" with a sweet kiss on my cheek. I woke up long enough to return the gesture and wished him a happy new year. Maybe next year I'll do better at staying awake!
