So here i am in Texas, life has been pretty busy, but wait i am getting ahead of myself....let me lay it down for you all who have been out of touch.
Back in 2008 My husband Josh got deployed to Iraq for his second time (first time since we were married) I conitnued to live in GA with my family and his while he was gone. I became close friends with his brother and his high school friend, Barak, along with his 2 yr girlfriend, Chelsea. I got to learn more about myself and him by talking to him on the phone, atleast once a day, if we were lucky. He got to come home after 8 months of being there for mid tour to share our 1st year anniversary together and Thanksgiving with the families. He of course was taken away again to return to play in the sandbox. The last four months were busy, on planning and renting an apartment and getting ready, packing and moving to Texas, where i reside right now.
Josh came home March 7th. My dad came out with me to help me move all the heavy stuff in. Well i was sent an email that told me josh was coming home on Sunday the 8th, but to my surprise, josh called on thursday and was like see you on Saturday. I freaked and my dad and i drove 15 hrs straight to get to Fort hood on firday. We moved everything in on Sat. morning and went to the bas in plenty of time to get Josh. When we got there we, along with hundreds of families, lined up on a chalk line and waited for them all to arrive in buses from the airfield. When they finally arrived they had them all line up behind the buses. Everyone in the crowd started to shout, "move that bus" over and over. Finally they moved the buses to display the entire 4th ID. They all marched forward to a line that was a good 50 ft in front of us. I was worried that i would not find him in the crowd of people and 4th ID members. I saw a guy in the front with a huge grin and looked so anxious. It took forever, they say a prayer and then you have to wait for 5-10 mins for a guy to say RELEASE. when he finally said that special word, Josh was the first one to me. He picked me up and just held me. The wait was over, now we are just adjusting to being under the same roof in a strange place. We have our good days and bad days like any married couple but we will get through it with patience and understanding.
Anyway so here i am in TX for the next 9-10 months and going to make the best of it. I miss my famile and my friends but my love for Josh is more important. If your ever in TX give me a call!?
