That question was directly asked to me and I didn't know the answer. She told me that I was supposed to say yes.
The truth is, I'm not ready. I have no idea how to get ready. Beyond the obvious cleaning and organizing, how can I get ready for this. I want him home yes. I'm also very nervous about it.
For the first time we will spend a great deal of time living together. Our record is 4 months. We've been married almost 18 months and so far he's been deployed 10-11 of those months. Most of our marriage has been spent deployed. We were lucky and got to talk every day on the phone for an hour or more. I'm scared our communication will get worse and we wont actually talk about anything.
Once the deployment is over what will I countdown to? Well I guess now that we are PCSing I can look forward to that.
I'm scared we'll get in a rut in our relationship. I'm scared that once the excitement wears off I'll be sad. I'm scared I'll go crazy during February waiting to figure out when exactly he's coming home. I'm scared to get too excited because there's still about a month left.
What if we both have changed so much that we're not compatible anymore? I'm scared of the transition between not seeing him and seeing him all the time. I'm scared we'll get sick of each other. I'm scared I wont be able to get everything done that I want done before he gets here.
I feel like I'm stuck in a rut this month. I have so much I want to get done but I seem to lack the motivation to do any of it.
