Day 3

Today was hard. Knowing that now you're actually out of the States and on your way over makes me panic a little, even though, distance wise, you won't be much further from me in Afghanistan than you were in Baltimore. 5,538.9 miles. Ironic that you'll be flying around the furthest side of the world, and coming back around toward me. Sometime tonight, you will literally be half a world away, so in a manner of speaking, we can never be physically further apart than we will be in a few hours.

The movers came today for Jo and Keith's household goods. It took them longer than I thought it would considering it was just those couple of rooms. I can only imagine what it will be like when they come in here to move us. I put the dogs in our room while the movers were here. They were less than thrilled. After the guys left and I let them out, Flint sniffed the floor for 30 minutes looking for them.

Our ornament came today. It's really cute. I hung it on the tree by last year's. I took a picture for you of each side.

Sadie has been laying by the front door a lot today. She misses you bunches. Shelby is laying there now. I tried to play with her, but she gave up without getting too rough. I think she's afraid to hurt me... So she went back to attacking Bo. Guess she doesn't care if she hurts him. Lol

I made it through today with no meltdowns. Deployment-2, Stephanie-1. No soup disasters, although I'm going to need you to come home to peel my potatoes, please.

I hope you have the chance to call tonight. I miss your face. Love you so much, baby. Goodnight.
