2 months to go!

We have two more months until our Hero's return! Things are finally being put into motion so it is seeming so much more real!

The plan is I'll be heading down to Mississippi the beginning of December. I'll probably leave Ohio on the 1st or 2nd, maybe even the very end of November. Right now I am driving alone so I am kind of nervous about it, but we'll be making the drive in a few days so I can stop before dark and stuff. I am totally not an independent person, so we'll see how that goes. Not to mention having to drive, and take care of a 2 year old solo. I really hope he'll sleep a lot. I also want to get a DVD player and hope that maybe some movies will keep him occupied.

After I get down there I'll be getting our house, which is on base. I am hoping to have our stuff moved in, and all ready for when Eric gets home. This is also exciting because I can get a banner and hang up on our new house for when we pick him up. It'll be so awesome. We plan on paying someone to move our things out of storage, and deliver them to our house. It's a much further drive from our storage unit and base so this would be much easier, and faster. Then I will accomplish as much unpacking and organizing as I can before Eric gets there. This is also good because we don't leave leaving until the 16th so we'll have a home to stay at, and to come home to after Christmas.

We'll be taking Christmas leave, flying out of MS on the 16th and we'll be driving back with all of our stuff that is left here. Which will be another 2 day trip. I'm hoping Eric won't want to leave on the 26th because one of his Christmas presents are Browns tickets, which are for the 26th. I'm hoping we can just leave on the 27th. It's going to be a long month, but well worth it! I can't wait to have our Hero home and finally be back together again. I'll miss my Parent's so much, but we are lucky to have had this 10 months together. Especially for Conner.

Also Eric is still in Africa. Kind of looks like he may be there for the rest of deployment. They are staying pretty busy trying to get the fence done, but he still sounds in good spirits. Knowing 2 months is all they have to go probably helps. I can't wait!
