I got a little emotional when the ball dropped on New Year's Eve, because I knew it was a milestone in this deployment. Before I left for California I told myself that at the end of that trip, it would be 2012 and that meant we only had X many more months left of this deployment. I had prepared myself to know just how close we are to the end, by making the end of my California trip as a big marker...or milestone if you will...in this deployment.
This may sound crazy but the start of 2012 has given me strength. It has given me hope. I feel like these next few months are going to fly by, especially since I have a wedding to plan, p90x to finish, and a job to find. Lots to do to keep me busy. I'm getting so excited for homecoming!!!
2011 brought a lot of changes for me. News of a deployment that we were not expecting, getting married, moving to Colorado, starting our married life together, finding a place of our own, getting a puppy our little Lily, sending my husband off to Afghanistan, getting a job, then losing a job, welcoming my husband home for r&r, making new friends. 2011 was a good year but I'm looking forward to what 2012 will bring us. A wedding, hopefully a new job for me, starting school again, a HOMECOMING and who knows maybe an addition to our little family....thats still up in the air though.
Happy 2012 everyone! I hope this year brings peace, love and much happiness to all of you!!!
