I have these moments that overwhelm me throughout my day.
I (quite frequently) start thinking about Max coming home.
And realize that it is getting closer and closer.
It's almost so close that I can touch it.
It's so close that I am, all of a sudden, starting to realize that my huge to-do list is STILL huge.
And I have a bunch of things that I want to get done!
The days ahead of me are going to be BUSY!
But oh so good, because they are just leading up to standing in front of my very bestest friend.
And being able to peer into his eyes and know that he is safe, that he is home.
And hug him. Just feel him. You know?
Gosh, I have been overly emotional today.
Every little song or thought brings tears to my eyes.
In good ways.
Here I am, tearing up, again!
When did I become such a girl?!
I NEVER used to cry, at ANYthing!
The point of my blog post is to seek out some advice.
On a few counts.
You see, we've never done this deployment thing before.
And although I am ecstatic and overly eager to have my husband home,
I also understand that the transition and re-adjustment period will not be all unicorns and rainbows.
You know?!
So, I am wondering from those of you who have gone through deployments
or other long periods of separation,
what suggestions or nuggets of advice do you have?
Something else.
Max and I have never lived with each other.
{I know, I have yet to share our entire story, huh?! That really does need to happen one of these days!}
So not only will he be coming home.
From a deployment.
But he'll be coming home and we'll be starting our "living together" from square one.
PLUS, throw two babies into the mix, and...well...
I KNOW that things could get interesting and prove to give us some good stories!
What advice do you have for me as we start this "living together" adventure?
As newlyweds or simply from having roomies, you've gotta have some good advice (or stories!)!?!
I am trying my best to stay realistic and flexible as homecoming approaches,
and as we adjust to not only living together, but living together with babies.
It'll be an interesting journey, that I am sure.
I am so eager to walk through it, to see where it leads.
I know that God has big plans - even if it is sometimes hard and challenging!
And I am SURE that we will have funny stories, which I'll do my best to record and share!!
So, PLEASE?!?!
Advice?!
It would REALLY be appreciated - I need all the wisdom I can get!!!
