Thank goodness for yoga. Otherwise, I'm sure I wouldn't have taken a single breath since last weekend. My stomach is constantly in flip-flop mode. My chest has this tight, anxious feeling. (Which is actually working out to be the perfect appetite suppressant -- I may look pretty good in all that new lingerie after all!) I constantly have tears behind my eyes, ready to fall anytime I hear or see something emotional. My husband is coming home THIS WEEK!!!!!!! Oh. My. God. Is this really for real? He should be leaving Iraq Tuesday and then be home by the end of the week. I'm just DYING of excitement!
I've spent the entire weekend trying to get the house ready for him. It's almost like having a guest come to stay -- too funny! I even cleaned my blinds and vacuumed around the baseboards. It is so wierd to look over at his side of the bed and know that he will be there by this time next week! It makes me very excited, but also a little nervous. I know from experience that it takes a while to adjust to each other again. But it's oh so worth it!
Right now, I'm at school trying to get things ready for the week. But I'm so anxious that I can't get anything done. School is still going really well. I honestly love coming to work everyday. My student teacher is doing a great job and will be starting to take more responsibility soon, which is great for me! The hardest part is knowing that we could possibly move before the end of the school year if Jon decides to stick with the Army. I love my kids and my school, and it would be REALLY hard to leave them without finishing the year, but after being away from my husband so much during the past 3.5 years, I think it would be the right choice.
I'll keep you updated on the welcome home. Hopefully I'll even have a few pictures to post soon!

Oh man, I am sooo excited for you too. I remember the jitters, the butterflies, and how it just seemed so surreal. I just couldn't believe he was actually going to be coming back on R&R. And I was so excited. I had bought enough new clothes to have about 3 "costume changes" a day, as my mother called them. I figured I had to get in almost a year's worth of dates, so I had to make the most of it!
I wish you the best and am oh, so excited!
Ohhhh, those jitters and housecleaning rampages are still fresh in my mind. SO excited for you...don't forget to take lots of pics for us! (and you too :)
So happy for you and Jon! I'm sure you'll look spectacular in that dress. You could probably be wearing some sweats and Jon wouldn't care. He has been in the desert!
Can't wait to hear all abou the homecoming and see the pics!
Is he home yet?
