Yay!

My husbands coming home soon (just on R&R but, whatever!). I'm so excited. Apparently he's been given some traveling information, but not enough for me to know for sure when he's coming in. He kept telling me that he had a certain number of days left before he'd be stateside again. And then he told me that he was coming in on a certain day - and as you can probably guess they didn't correlate. But oh well, he's coming home and I'm so excited. I can't wait to see him again.

I'm kind of pathetic, but it's fun to me. I keep trying to visualize the moment, standing at the gate and he comes off the plane. Seeing him for the first time in months, having him see me. What will he think? What will I think?Are we going to be nervous and just kind of stand there and giggle? Are we going to run into each others arms like you see in the movies? Is the weight I lost visible enough that he'll see it and think I look great? How visible is the weight that he's gained?

Eh! I'm so nervous. I know from when he's left I've seen and heard of a number of changes with him. I don't know how prevalent those changes will be after he gets away from the army culture, but still. Nervous! Will I even really know him and who he is? What about after this deployment is completed and more changes are added to the mix?

I know I've made a lot of changes to my life and myself. I've also realized that there are areas of my life that have just changed on their own with time and various experiences. Will he really know me anymore? Will he be tolerant of the changes that I've made around the house? Will we be able to work within my new routines or is it going to throw him all off?

In the really shorter than expected time between now and when he comes home - I have the longest "To Do List" imaginable. Alas, I better go and keep plugging away at it. I wonder how much of it I'll actually get done before he gets home.
