Separation

I know being a military wife means that my hubby will be gone for various reasons and for different amounts of time. This however does not make it any easier and I'm sure lots of other wives will say the same. It just hit me this morning as I watched him get ready for the day. I know we will be fine it's just sad to be apart. And I know that he will be safe and kick ass at whatever he is doing. He is rather awesome at kicking butt.
One thing I do not understand are the spouses who count down the days with excitement and anticipation that their husbands will be gone.  And I'm not talking about a week for training but even deployments. ..I even dread the short trips! Don't even get me started on deployments. ... His last one I wrote him every single day sometimes more than once and sent tons of care packages. My phone was glued to me just in case he called. Hearing his voice is the sweetest thing ever even now together and doubley so why he is gone.
I find myself a couple days before he leaves following him around like he might disappear before I can kiss him goodbye.  Sad I know. It may be because the Army has often changed their plans last minute and taken him days earlier and made him home late. Like way way late.
So as usual while he gets stuff he needs done for work I try to keep busy and not start to feel to sad/anxious about him leaving.  Have to be strong for him so he doesn't worry about me! That and it's good to be strong for your man. But I miss him already!
Well here is to hoping he gets done early today so I can soak up as much time as possible and stay positive:)

Random I know but this would be so cool in my front yard. ..
