He made it :>)
Mike made it back to his FOB safe & sound. I just got off the phone with him. He sounded good, tired but good. He is glad to be back "home" per se....1) because it took forever for him to finally get there, 2) because it's one day closer that he gets to come home for good! I know I've already said this but........... It's a GREAT feeling seeing the "headed home" counter in the double digits!
I love you Mike!!!!
I love you Mike!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day :>)
Mike

Headed home counter!
FINALLY............We are in the double digit's range of Mike coming home!!!!
Yesterday was a tough day. I took Mike to the airport and I was able to go to the gate with him, which was really nice; it gave us more time together (delay the inevitable). When Mike arrived, I posted how at peace I felt when I saw the plane land, "He was home". I felt the complete opposite when he left. I felt so alone and empty. It's not a good feeling knowing I would be without my best friend, AGAIN, after two, fun filled weeks; there was life back in the house, especially when Mike's kids were there. The house has felt so empty for so long, BUT if we can get through 8 months these next few months will fly by. Spring is right around the corner and it's my favorite time of the year. My girlfriend from Guam will be visiting me in March!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!!! Lots to do.....and lots to look forward to.....
Mike's trip back to the "sandbox" has been very long, so far. He left Norfolk yesterday morning at 7 am and made it to Atlanta around 1030-1045am (he had a layover in Charlotte, NC); he didn't leave Atlanta until 8 pm. Yes you read correctly....he spent the entire day in Atlanta! He flew to Germany all night and is now on his way to Kuwait (he called me at 500am this morning). After he arrives in Kuwait he has no idea how long it will take him to get "home"! Could be days or he could leave as soon as he gets there. I hope for him it's the latter.
We talked on the phone up until the door closed on the plane last night, it was VERY hard to even hang up. At that point BOTH of us were exhausted. Neither one of us slept good the night before and we had to be up at 330 am; that combined with all the emotions of the day, we were just mentally exhausted. When I spoke to Mike this morning he sounded much better. He was able to get some good (well as good as can be expected) sleep on the plane to Germany. At least he was able to sleep. I too was able to get a half way decent nights sleep. I will keep you informed of the rest of Mike's journey.....
I am happy to say that "Desert Periscope" (one of the Narmy Bloggers on the right) has made it home for good! Thanks for your service and for all you have done for me through this deployment. Your blog, especially in the beginning, gave me so much insight on what we could expect....Thanks Dan and good luck!!!!
I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!
p.s. Notice the new picture under "About Me".....it was taken Super Bowl weekend, (the kids wanted to see Mr. Mike in his uniform and get pictures) it's not the greatest picture of either Mike or I but I thought I would post it anyway.

Mike Left :<(
Mike is leaving today, he has to be at the airport @ 500 am. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he travels back.
It was so great having him home and it is really hard having to let him go again. It seems he just got here.
Will post more later.
I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!

Smiles all around :>)
Since I'm back at work (and have some spare time!) I thought I would share a little of what Mike & I have been doing. I wasn't able to take the entire 2 weeks off but at least I was able to take some time off.
As I said in an earlier post, for the most part we've just been enjoying each other's company, getting to know one another again. Eight months is a VERY long time..... We drove to Washington DC, Thursday to attend a Bob Seger concert. That has to be one of the best concert's I've been to. We had a GREAT time! Came home Friday, went out with some friends that night to welcome Mike home, again we had a great time. Left Saturday to head up to Fredericksburg to spend the weekend with some friends and they also throw a huge super bowl party, so that was a plus ;>) Mike's children went with us, which was nice. Sad to say DA Bears lost, but still a good time was had by all.
The time is slipping away rapidly and it's hard to think about him having to leave again. But all good things must come to an end. At least it's not for very long this time. We really can start seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!
I guess I should get back to work since I haven't been here since Wednesday but I did want to post something just to let everyone know we are alive and have a wonderful time together!
I love you Mike!
