Actually Underway

So, yes BW left last week... but not really. The squadron went out to San Diego and had just a little more training to do before actually pulling out. So, the boat pulled back into SD this week (Wed) and the guys were all off the boat until Friday morning... when it actually pulled out and is now on its way

somewhere to do something important.

As thankful as I am for those last few days to talk to him and have him back... it meant the good-bye's all over again.

I hate good-bye's. Period. Always have. I can remember hiding behind the couch as a little girl when my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents whoever had come to visit would be leaving so I would not have to tell them bye. I remember crying every time they left. I cried (almost) every time I left one of my travel assignments. I cried every time I left BW during our visits while we lived apart.

So, to have to say good-bye again sucked.

And this time... I know it was for real.

This time he isn't out for a week or a month and then coming home....

this time the countdown REALLY does start!

So now I am back to work... back to spending time with the girls... back to thinking of him and knowing how proud I am and being reminded daily of how much I love him.

And, now I get to look forward to this!
