Today marked a milestone for us! Andrew made his journey across the world 100 days ago, and I have nothing but to be thankful. It's been a rough 100 days without him here, I'd do just about anything to be in his arms right now, but instead, I'll wait some more.
100 days since he's been gone means a lot of good things too...
- It's been 102 days since he asked me to marry him :)
- 100 less days to go until he's home
- 100 less days of being a fiance instead of a wife!
I really can't complain, I hear something from Andrew most days. I very rarely go to bed wondering if he is ok. Skype happens, its blurry, but it happens and I am thankful for that! I have had nothing but wonderful people standing by my side making this bearable.
So thank you to all of you who help keep my company when I am sad and let me whine. You have 100 less days of listening to me! :) haha.
On a completely other note, I waited on an old elementary school teacher this weekend at work and spoke with another. Both asked me how Andrew was doing and asked me to tell him hello. They told me how much they thought about him and reminded me that he was in their thoughts and prayers. Teachers we haven't seen in years. I guess that's part of growing up in a smaller town. It makes me happy and feel more at ease that Andrew has so many people keeping him in their prayers. I didn't even know they knew he was away, I guess word gets around. But thank you to everyone who remembers not only Andrew but all the soldiers away from their families every night. It's much appreciated.
A chunk of this journey is over but we still have more to go. So prayers to the 603rd MP Company please! <3 We have another day down.
