Well, I know it's been a while since I have made a post. In my defense, I have been really busy. The day after Hubby left I started a new job working for the town. And on top of that my dad just had a heart attack on Monday. Scary stuff, he's ok, but is still in the hospital, but will finally be coming home tomorrow. So needless to say, in between work and running to the hospital, the last thing on my mind was writing a blog.
My dad's heart attack made me think. He's a healthy person, I convinced he and my mom to get back to the gym over the summer, he goes about 4 times a week, he eat pretty healthy (having stomach problems and being lactose intolerant does that to you), his cholesterol is 120, which I guess is really good. Two of the main arteries in his heart were 70 and 80 percent blocked. It's funny how you can do everything right, but still get shit luck. Life has its own course of action in mind for each of us and sometimes nothing we do can change that.
I have been missing Hubby a lot in the past couple days, but I have been busy enough to keep my mind off the fact that our once a day conversations are brief, not nearly long enough to catch each other up on our lives.
Next week, my sister's family is coming out to visit which will be so much fun except that it will be the first week I work full-time, which is a definite drag. Luckily Tuesday is a holiday and even though I have to work late for a meeting one day, I get Friday off in return.
I am always counting the days to something. Now it's until my sister gets here and then it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, and eventually the day I get to go back to Hawaii. Always counting, always. I can't wait for Hubby to come home, so I no longer have to count. Hurry up!

Oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad! I'm glad he's ok and will recover, but I can't imagine how hard that must be for you, especially to go through it without Scott there with you. If you need anything, let me know! And I know what you mean about the counting down thing - I can't help it either! We're so close!
Hey,
I just googled surving deployments and your blogs popped up. Ive read several of them and I have to thank you. Im a newly wed and my husband is stationed in Hawaii. He just left for his deployment a few days ago. Ive been feeling like a wreck but your posts made me laugh and realize I am not alone. I know this sounds odd comming from a total stranger but you've really inspired me, given relief and new confidence that I'm going to make it through this deployment.
Thanks Again
Lindsey
Lindsey,
I am so glad you found my blog! Knowing you're not alone is a huge relief. It goes by quicker than you may think, just keep yourself busy. Stay strong!
Hi,
I'm an employee at Buildasign.com, and we just launched a promotion in honor of Veteran's Day. We're giving military families a free customizable banner to help welcome home their loved ones returning from overseas or the option to send a free customizable jumbo card to a loved one overseas. I thought this would be a great opportunity for you to take advantage of in preparation of your husband's return home. I was also wondering if you could offer me any tips or suggestions on who to get in contact with to get the message across to people that can take advantage of this promotion. Also, it would be great if you could help spread the word by posting about our promotion on your blog. The link to this promotion is www.buildasign.com/Troops.
We are giving away a total of 20,000 banners plus jumbo cards to support our troops at home and abroad. Thank you again, I greatly appreciate your time!
Best,
Katherine
