Tony has been gone now for a week. He returns in 2 weeks - so here is what this means…
For 2 more weeks I can go to bed as early as I want and not feel bad whatsoever. This doesn't happen most nights when Tony is here because he gets back from work at 7:30-8:00...soooo if I want any quality time with my husband, 8:30pm bedtime doesn't look too promising.
The next most exciting thing for me is that I can watch as much Law & Order as I want. This is Tony's least favorite TV show. So much that he refuses to watch it. Similar to me refusing to watch most of his stand-up comedy shows that he likes, but worse. I've always been a fan of L&O, along with McGyver, Renegade, and Quantum Leap. My brother would understand.
As much as I enjoy these two things - I will be more than happy to have him home again ;)
On my way home from work I called a friend on island and she informed me that her husband was being deployed to Afghanistan in April for 6 months. My heart ached for her. I realized I have never been through a deployment with Tony (he's been on 3) and I hope I never have too. I won't complain about 3 weeks or a month here and there….
Here is a picture of my co-workers out for brunch on Saturday morning. These ladies are awesome - and have helped my whole transition to Okinawa
