Well Kevin returned from deployment in March. He was home for 1 month then went back out to sea for 3 weeks, was home for 1 week (thankfully was home for my birthday), then went back out. He will be returning later this week for a few days then going back out again. I sure thought the 7 month deployment was hard, but this whole coming and going deal is REALLY not fun. It's a tease!! I miss actually being a wife & spoiling my husband. But when the government owns you, well there's not much you can do about it. So I continue to keep myself busy with work, my women's Bible Study on Tuesdays & hanging out with friends. Just last night I started scrap booking again. I forgot how much I use to enjoy doing it. I have a lot to catch up on, which is good!! :)

Coming and going is almost worse than just being gone. It's impossible to get a routine, and emotions are up and down all the time. You've got the right idea; keep busy and distracted and try to keep at least part of your life "normal". :)
