Yikes, I can't believe I haven't updated this year, and we're almost a month into 2011.
January came all to quickly, and the LT had to leave shortly after the new year. He's in California for a month, right now they're in "the box" and were not allowed to have cell phones, so I haven't spoken to him since Jan 12, I think. He should be out of "the box" soon.
I think I struggled more with him being gone when he was allowed to call, but was too busy to actually do it. I hated knowing that he had his cell phone, and would have been able to call, but he was just way to busy and wanted to sleep, instead of talk to me. And now that he isn't able to call, it hasn't really bothered me. The first day maybe, and now that it's been nearly 2 weeks, it is. I think this will be the longest we've gone with out talking. When he was in BOLC in Oklahoma he went to the field for a week, and left his phone with me, and that was hell, especially being in a strange place, where I couldn't leave the hotel room. But now I am able to come and go when I want, and have friends to do things with. Back in Oklahoma, we weren't married, so I didn't have a military ID and couldn't go to the commissary or the PX and I couldn't leave post. Anyways, now I'm just over this whole not being able to hear from him, and I know he's alright, because no news is good news, but I miss him. But I know this is good for me. As it is helping me get ready for when he leaves. Who knows when I'll hear from him, or how often I will hear from him. I hope daily, but that just might not happen. So while the soldiers are off training for the deployment, the spouses are home, training for the deployment in their own ways.
Not much else to write about, just figured I'd update ya'll, and let ya'll know what's going on. A whole lot of nothing, lol!
