I am writing this in Richfield, sitting in bed at my cousin Mandy's house. I'm getting my back rubbed by Eli because he doesn't want to go to bed so I told him if he rubs my back then he doesn't have to.
I realized on Saturday that Stewart's been gone for 2 weeks. I about died when I realized this because it seems like it's been a WHOLE lot longer than that. I just checked the calendar again...still 2 weeks.
So we are on a getaway to Richfield where I was nice enough to invite myself to stay in my cousins guest bedroom and she was nice enough to accept my invitation. ;) I will have to think of a years worth of distractions to get myself through this deployment...or maybe it gets easier.
The strange thing is that we have been apart for longer than this before for months at a time but it's never felt this way before. This time moving slowly thing must be mental. I didn't expect the deployment to feel like this.

I'm sorry it's so hard! Have a great vacation in Richfield. (He He, I've been to Richfield so that sounds funny!)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing. That is such a huge sacrifice. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to my sis-in-law about getting together to do some quilting this summer. I will let you know when we do it.
Becca,
ReplyDeleteyou are so strong and I can only imagine how hard it must be! How can we help? You can come over anytime and have distractions at our house. You know we have plenty of them!:)
I'm available. I have been known to be distracting.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I miss Stewy too!
Becca, this is Heather Kroeber. I don't know if you remember me but my husband Chris was in ROTC with Stewart. Chris spent a year in Iraq so I know exactly how you feel. The time goes really slow at first but it will speed up eventually. I used to love it when it was a new month because it meant one less month until Chris came home. It will get better. It's hard the whole time especially on Christmas and other holidays but time will start to go by faster. Good luck.
