Now I know this isn't a military homecoming officially. As in, Dane hasn't been deployed over the past couple months, but long distance is no walk in the park. It's constant effort, late night phone calls compensating for time changes, and understanding by both of us that sometimes it just plain sucks. There's really no two ways around that part. We know long distance isn't forever, but for now--it's what works and we make the best of it. All of this aside, seeing him only a handful of times per year really makes the time we do spend together special. I'm looking forward to almost 3 full weeks.
In the meantime, watch this and I dare you not to cry. And the crazy dog lady strikes again...
If you've got some extra time on your hands, check out Kristine and her amazing post on getting RACK'd!

ReplyDeleteYAYYYYYYY! As a survivor of 2 years long distance I can totally appreciate how happy you must be!! And we didn't have time change issues, so it was much easier for us, and I STILL wouldn't sleep before I got to see Dom! I'm so excited for you!! Can't watch the video though, just did my eye makeup and I don't want to roll into work looking like a raccoon. Because I WILL cry! haha
