The Talk..

[misskathee]

so me and tom had our first deployment preparation talk. it was soo wierd. he told me for sure that he's leaving yesterday because they're already making railroad plans to ship out their stuff by the end of january. it was so wierd, it was like i knew it was going to happen sooner or later but when he told me for sure over the phone, it hit me like a brick. i wanted to break down but i was at work so i had to keep my composure. i then started thinking about God forbid if anything happens, and i told him.. and he was like "well, you just live your life regularly" i mean isn't that wierd to hear that? i immediately hung up with him and rushed to the bathroom. only 2-3 more months, i know it's going to fly by fast.. but i guess.. the faster he goes, the sooner he'll be back

just enjoy the time you have left before he leaves.

i remember feeling so anxious during the last week before my db left that i wanted him to leave already ...like you, i figure, the sooner he's gone, the sooner he'll come back

yep me too...now that he is gone i feel a little less stressed...but its taken over by the fact that he is deployed now

the waiting part is the worst...you just have so many questions about will he be ok? what will he be doing? what will the communication part be like? but once he leaves and after the first week hes gone...it gets SO much better

I remember when db left, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders...now i know that sounds horrible, but it wasn't that I was hapy he left, i was just glad that the waiting part was over...now i can concentrate on him being there and the countdown to begin...

you will get through it tho, keep trucking a long...if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

first of all: at first the waiting part was like what tallblondie said...this was me:

now that hes actually over there I feel like I can breath a little easier but theres still some waiting:
Im just trying not to get like this :

Ive already got the countdown going tho!

Waiting for him to leave is the worst part. Once he is gone.... it will get easier!!
We are here for you!!

The ladies are right. The worst part is just waiting around for them to leave. But try to enjoy these months with him. Try not to focus too much on how much time you have left before he leaves.
We are here for you!

Make every moment count (and don't wash all his laundry before he ships out - you'll understand later). I turned super clingy once he got his orders. I could tell I annoyed him at times but I just didn't care. The suspense wasn't necessarily worse than the actual deployment, but that part blows 2.

you ladies are the best i swear
