I have been missing my husband a lot through the holidays. I've reached a real slump in the deployment and it's only been a little over 2 months in. The first two months I was very optimistic, and tried to stay up beat. I told myself that we've been apart for 12 months before, and we can do it again. I reminded myself about how Matt's tour in Korea went by fast. But all of a sudden everything seems to be going wrong and time has been dragging by ever.. so... slowly..
As for Matt he's doing well health and safety wise. However, he's very homesick and not at all enjoying his time in afghanistan (to be expected of course). I wish he was home so badly. I just can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit with him gone.
To cheer him up for the holidays I sent a care package with pine scented air fresheners, a mini christmas pre-lit christmas tree, a santa hat, some holiday window vinyls, and a string of outdoor lights to go on the outside of his conex (yes, they live in a conex storage containers over there). He really enjoyed his christmas care package which made me really happy. We skyped shortly after he received his package and he showed me his christmas tree all lit up and decorated with the mini star and ornaments.
I really cannot wait until next Christmas when we get to make up for this not-so-awesome one. I cannot wait for us to all be together again.
