A few weeks ago the hubby called me at work and left a message. It was to call him as soon as I could because it was important. He wanted to let me know that another battalion had called him wanting him to deploy with them. He wanted to make sure I would be okay with it. What can you really say but I'm fine with it? I really am, but I am NOT looking forward to it. It will be weird to not have any other spouses going through it at the same time.
I have been in denial over the last few weeks because the official orders have not been submitted. Friday that denial came crashing down. Hubby had to go on base to fill out some paperwork that the Navy didn't like the way it was submitted. This is the paperwork that was needed to get his orders. I guess it finally hit that he really will be gone. That this is really happening. I guess it is time to buckle up, put the big girl panties on, and just do this one day at a time. Because the faster it gets here, the faster we can get to the end.
