How many weeks until I get to see my husband?


Yup
That's right. 
Go ahead and let your jaw drop...

I mean, can you believe how fast time is starting to go? Because I sure can't! 
I've even tried to make sure that my countdown is right because it seems too close! I vividly remember a time (not too long ago) when I swore this deployment would never end... And it's almost over.

To put it in perspective for you, here's a little timeline I've done:

-This week I have to pack up our apartment and figure out moving logistics.

- I move into our new home next Wednesday (April 5th).

-I'm going back to Visalia for the second weekend of April.

-Two weeks later, on April 28th, I'll turn 24 (ugh, what an ugly number).

-Soon after that, Derek will finally be home!

Time is going to slip away from me and before I know it Homecoming will be here... 

GAH!

In the meantime, here is a funny picture of me climbing on a big truck at Fort Carson!



Obligatory Disclaimer:
Obviously OPSEC is really important when you've got a family member in the military - it keeps our soldiers safe and prevents bad things from happening it them. It is an important part of military life, and it's crucial to remember OPSEC when coming to the end of a too-long deployment! 

Remember that old phrase, "loose lips sink ships"? 
They said that for a reason. 

So, in order to maintain the security and welfare of Derek's unit, I'll only be posting weeks for the countdown until he comes home (but nothing specific).
