He's Home!!

Well, on Sunday, May 1st, after 8 long months of waiting my husband finally came home from deployment :) The past 3 days have been just wonderful and I've never been so happy in my life. I'm also relieved because I was starting to get a little too tired of doing everything myself. For all the time he was gone I never once had help with anything...part of that was by choice but also because I don't really have any friends down here. I made one friend but all she wants to do is have me take her places and never offers gas money and the thing is she's totally helpless. She can't manage to carry 3 little bags of groceries into her own apartment. She's also a Navy wife and I worry that when it's time for her husband to deploy she'll get even more dependant. In any event, I'm quite proud of myself for the way I handled things while my husband was gone and this weekend we are taking some time to ourselves for small vacation...but before we can start to enjoy ourselves we have to first go to Walter Reed so I can have yet another MRI. I haven't had one since last September because I had no way to get up there while hubby was gone. It's not really a big deal except every time I go I get more nervous about going in the MRI machine and then I wait and get more nervous until I get the results. I'm sure it will be fine though and I really am looking forward to spending the weekend alone with my husband :)
Hugs and prayers....CA
