Time is standing still

WOW...could it really only be 5 days since Dee left? Seems like two weeks already. Why is it that time flies by in some things, but when you are waiting and watching the clock, it stands still?

Yesterday I was a little emotional. I'm not quite sure why because I've been doing so well. I think it's because I got a picture from Dee and put it as my wallpaper on my cellphone. So every time I took out my phone or just saw my phone, there he was. It was a constant reminder. The picture is incredible. He is in full uniform, holding some machine gun! WOW! I LOVE IT! And has that wonderful smile to top it off. He is so handsome!

I sure miss having him hold me. I know it's not even a week, but I do miss him.
The good news is......hopefully......IF the ARMY doesn't change it's mind again....he will have an additional day of leave before heading to Savannah. They return on Friday, Feb 27th and have the weekend off. Then instead of heading for Savannah on Monday, they are leaving Tuesday. It's possible he may have to work on the base Monday, but would still be home that evening. Dee seems to think that the Captain wants to spend time with his family too, so they will have the day off. It's good that his leaders are family men too!

His 1st Sgt. is so nice and he and Dee really get along. 1st Sgt. Marchert really thinks alot of Dee. Dee has done an excellent job being NCO while in Arizona, so for this trip, Dee was assigned NCO again. "Top", as they call him, has really been singing Dee's praises. I know that helps to feel appreciated.

Well....I think sickness is beginning to hit our household. Josh is sick, running a 101.6 fever and I woke up with a bad sore throat, which means a cold is coming. I started on Zicam this morning so maybe I can stop it.

If I can figure out how to get my pictures off my phone, then I'll post them!
