Here we are again. Deployment in approximately 25 days, give or take a few.
This is deployment number 3 for us in the last 5 years. A year in Afghanistan in 2004, 3 months after we were married. 15 months in Iraq in 2006-2007 - that sucked. And now another week in Iraq. Sigh.
It's weird. I find myself strangely myopic leading up to this deployment. I don't care much about work, all the other stuff that clutters my life. I care about spending time with the family, and that's about it. There will be plenty of time to work and focus on life craziness after Mike leaves. For now, I want things to be good with my family. I have 25 days to be with my famuily - my entire family - all 4 of us. After that, well, no family together until Mike comes home on leave, hopefully in Feb. 2010. Damn. 2010.
So I will post this next year of deployment here.... if you want to read, go for it. Not sure how good this blog will be - be it's a place for me to get it all down.
Peace.
