Three Weeks

Unfortunately we haven't even reached the three week milestone in our long separation, but three weeks is when I will get to see Michael! His brigade will have pass for four days before they leave for Kuwait and then on to Iraq. I cannot wait to see him! I love talking to him everyday and seeing him on our video cam, but it just isn't the same has hugging him. I know, too mushy but sorry! At first I was going to fly down to see him, because I was worried about the stress traveling would have on him and honestly, I really just wanted to spend time alone with him and I. I was afraid (and still am) that if he came home, it would turn into a crazy circus of trying to see everyone again.

When push came to shove, I know he really did want to come home, and we do get to save a lot of money and best of all I don't have to fly by myself! (If you know anything about me, you know I HATE to fly and even had a panic attack on the way home from our honeymoon! ) Lovely. Even though I am going to love having him home, and so will our 'kids', I am still afraid of the whirlwind those four days could turn into. I know I am being completely selfish, but I really want him to myself. Isn't that awful? I love his family and mine, but I want it to be just him and I. I really do feel bad saying that, but it is true. I can't help it. He did tell his mom that he wasn't going out of his way to see everyone. If they wanted to see him, they would have to come to him, but we will see.

Either way, I have at least a short term goal in mind, and because of that I can get through the next month. After that, he won't have leave until June probably, so goodness knows how I am going to get through that. I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Until then, I can't wait to see my LT in three....
