Waiting...

So now begins my waiting period. Ben called me today about 11:30am to tell me hello and that he was getting ready to pack up the last few things that he was bringing home and head to where ever it is that he has to wait for his flight out. I just wish I could know when he would be here, but such is the life of an army wife! :) I would love for him to be here this weekend but then there is part of me that would like to him not arrive until this next week so that he can stay longer through the holidays. He will be home for 15 days, the longest that he has been home since he left this past March for training. Who would have thought we'd be here way back then!?
I had my last class of the semester today! It felt very good to turn in my last paper and get my study guides back to be able to study for my final. Thankfully my final will replace my other test grades if I do better on this test, so I can't loose! I also worked on Christmas cards tonight, trying to keep myself busy. That way I don' t have time to sit and think about where Ben is and when he will get here. I'll keep you all posted on his arrival!

I'll Be Home for Christmas...

So...I really should be writing one of my final papers for Developmental Psych. right now but as usual I'm procrastinating. The most likely reason for this is that Ben will be home this weekend! I wasn't expecting him to be here so soon but we will take whatever time with him that we can get right now. I was looking at my last blog and saw that it had been in April since I last wrote anything. How time flies and I never would have guessed that we would be were we are today when I wrote that. When Ben finished his training in July, he was home for about a week and then found out that he would be deploying to Iraq. That Monday when he told me was a tough day but I knew that if this was where we were headed God had a reason for it! And even though I still have no clue where we are going with the Army and how long we will be in Chattanooga, I know that God has a plan through all of this. And right now I'm enjoying the time that I have to be able to work and take classes at Covenant to hopefully try and go back to Nursing school.
I'm looking forward to Ben being home for Christmas, when he left in August I never would have expected him home so soon. I will get to have him home for 15 days and then I won't see him until the return for good in July/August of this next year. After August life will have new changes, only I have no clue as to what those may be at this point in time...but for now, on to my paper. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!
