300 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

300....300......300
Woo Hoo!!!!

Today is the day we celebrate 300 days of being done with this deployment! It's bittersweet. It's amazing that I have been away from my husband for almost 300 days (considering he had a 2 week R&R). Well, not amazing in a spectacular/good way. But amazing that we've HAD to do that! But, I'm so thrilled that we are this close to being done! I'm so excited that it is finally coming to an end! I will be a very happy girl when I see that sweet face & he is home with me, but I think I will even be just as happy when I know my hubby's feet are on U.S. soil!!!! Yay for 300 days...and here's to the last of it:)

Mental Health/ Care Packages

Ok, well today I decided to take a Mental Health Day from work. During this deployment so far, I have not taken any time off except for when Hubby was home & if the Dr. has been out. So, today (well actually yesterday) I decided I needed a day from work. I needed a day to clear my head, have some alone time, & just do what I wanted. I did just that. I slept in this morning, got up & headed out to print some pictures off to send to the hubby, came back home, talked to hubby, ate some lunch, sat outside & read, took a nap, finished up hubby's Halloween care package & took it to the post office to be sent out, came back sat outside some more & read, and now I'm catching up on blog world & facebook & getting ready to go enjoy some shows on TV & who knows what else is in store for today. These last few months are starting to stress me & the hubs out. I hate that it is, but we are so anxious for this deployment to be over. Hubby has been putting up with a lot lately & to top it off he's now sick. Poor thing! I feel bad for him, but we both just have to push through just a little longer. He finally was able to get some meds today & hopefully he will start feeling better soon. He was able to take today easy as well & we enjoyed just being able to talk to each other without a time frame (he normally calls me on my lunch break during the work week). Anyways, to help cheer him up & hopefully make him feel better, I let him know he would be getting a little something something in the mail shortly:) So, here's a preview of his Halloween package:

Friday Fill-In

1. What are some things on your bucket list? (from New Girl on Post) ~ to travel to Europe & Africa, become a mom, go parasailing, go on another missions trip, try sushi, and I'm sure the list could go on & on but I'm drawing a blank...

Ideas?!??!?!

Ok...yes, hubby's homecoming is still a ways away...but I'm already wanting to look for a super cute outfit to wear for when that day arrives. In the summer, it's easy to find a cute sun dress or summery outfit to meet & greet your lover...but what are some ideas for the winter??? So...blogger world, I'm asking for your advice, pictures, websites, etc.!!!! I want to look super cute for my hubba lubba!!!!

Thank you all in advance!!!!
