Can it Really Be True?

Let us refresh our memory. Go back into the memory bank and pull out January 15, 2009. That is when we said good-bye to our daddy and hubby for a year long deployment to Iraq. These were our countdown jars. We decided that we, the kids and I, would have 1 piece of candy for each day that daddy was gone. WOW! I'm glad that I picked Jelly Bellies, they are small! but still a lot of those little suckers!


Fast forward to January 7, 2010! Now look at our countdown jars!!!! OMG!! I cannot believe that it is really here. Can it be? Am I dreaming? Did someone just eat all of the candy or do we really have only 3 DAYS LEFT???? We do only have 3 days left! Glenn will be home Sunday night!

Everyone is very happy and excited, but a little nervous too. The kids and I have been working as a team, most of the time, for 1 year, solo, alone, without Glenn. Now we have to reintegrate and readjust to having him home again. I know that sounds strange, because he is my husband and the kid's dad, but he was gone for 1 year! There will be an adjustment period, but I know it will all be all right!
