14 business days and counting.....

Until my husband comes home.

I can't believe it!

Thank you to everyone who commented and checked in on me after my last post, I was really, really in a bad place that day. I have never felt so down, so completely bare, and bruised. I really appreciate the good friends that I do have, and its times like that that it really proves to you that you are not alone, so thanks alot Ni, for bringing me back to a bit of light, and helping me realize that I don't have to be alone.

This week and next week, Erik will spend in the field. He told me last night in our last conversation that he will be "kidnapped" this week or next week sometime, by the sister platoon, to be held hostage. it his his duty as a Canadian Solider to escape, or die trying, (not literally) before his platoon rescues him. They nominated him due to the outstanding improvements that he has made while there, and because of his outstanding leadership that he has proven thus far.

We will head to Richelain, Quebec on March 4th for Erik's graduation parade on March 5th. If things go well, he will be coming home with us on the 6th. Keep your fingers crossed!!

I have also developed a plan to help myself out of this place that I am in right now. I know that for my own sanity, and so I don't commit complete social suicide ( my friends list is so short, its standing on the edge of a bridge wanting to jump), I have decided that I want and need to go back to school. I have a program chosen, and after my mothers recent hospital stay (she was released today), I know it is the perfect choice for me.

Once things are settled with Erik into his posting, I will be applying for school, and I am SO excited for that! The course is 2 years long, and not crazy expensive, so I will be able to pay for it without financial aid.

On a different note, my girls got a present in the mail from their daddy today....they each recieved a small black grizzly bear, with a beret and military battle gear on. They are SO adorable!!! Kallie walks around the house with hers, saying " my daddy...", and Tiana's is up in bed, waiting for her to sleep with.

14 more LONG business days.

Almost there!
