Feeling really good about everything. One slight bump - yesterday H needed his phone # (he doesn't call it, so doesn't know it by heart) and I kind of wondered who he was giving it to. He needed to give it to the guy who will replace him when he comes home for good. It kind of bothered me b/c I think the guy is coming from where H was here which is also where OW still is and wondered if she would somehow get the #. I just told myself I can't worry about that. I would hope (1) since she is now married, she's not going to contact him and (2) even if she did, that it wouldn't "MEAN" anything to him anyway.
He is still SO excited & anxious to get home. I just can't wait. The holidays are going to be so much fun. The boys aren't going to be able to stand it when they see him
I know once he's home for a week or so (or even a day) and then when he's home for good, that things will get back to "normal" and then we'll be dealing w/ the old day to day stuff, but I just know that we will appreciate things so much more now and just deal w/ everything in a more positive way.
I can't explain to you guys how I'm feeling right now. Not only was the whole D sitch so very hard, but then having to deal w/ him being gone like this . . . Life is so interesting sometimes, you know? I've learned so much through all of this. I'm just so thankful every day how blessed we've been. I can't dwell on all the time I feel I/we wasted taking things for granted before -- I'm just going to enjoy EVERYTHING from now on.
