It has been 8 months since my husband was officially activated and reported to duty. I can't believe it has been that long. Day to day, it drags, but when I look back on it all it has flown by, thankfully! I am hoping these next two weeks fly by for both my sake and Michael's. I know he is getting tired of it and there is nothing I can do to help him. He doesn't seem to want to tell me anything, and I know part of it is he can't, but is also chooses not to share anything about what he is feeling. Typical guy I guess.
My running is still going well. With Michael coming home so soon, I feel the need to get as in shape as possible. Partly because I want to look good for him, but also because I know we are going to be eating a lot. I think he may be looking forward more to the food then actually seeing me (ha!)
I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I have a student in my class whose father is deployed with Michael. Well he came home on leave today. They were going to surprise him in school, but his Mom decided to take both kids to the airport instead. I am thankful for this. I don't think I could have handled the tear fest! Only 1 1/2 more days with the kiddies. 16 days until I see my husband!!
About Me
- Kelly
- I am a 4th grade teacher and love my job, even if I do need a glass of wine at the end of the day sometimes! I have been married to my amazing husband for over five years now and love every second we are together. We have survived a year deployment to Iraq and are happy to be together again. We welcomed our first child, Patrick, on April 2, 2011. He is truly a blessing! I started this blog as a way to keep Michael updated on my life if we couldn't talk, and for my friends at school!
Before our long year began...
Together again after our long year apart

We're super excited for you. I think Mike should be very afraid when you have him alone, or that could hold true for you as well. Anyway, we're still running in circles with the house and hopefully everything will work out. Courtney and I are going to watch Nancy and Steve's dogs this weekend since ECU is playing Carolina in the Baseball Super Regionals. It should be on ESPN U or ESPN. Glad to hear you're still getting some exercise in with your super busy schedule.
Have a great rest of the week...hopefully we'll talk to you this weekend.
