You are getting deployed....(pause)... NOT!

Well, since it has been a year practically since I was an active blogger, B and I have experienced a bit more than just the weather changing.

You are told from the beginning to except the unexpected with the Military life. Hurry up and wait is another good one that is true to life.

The last of October B got news that he would be deploying the first of December. Not, the shortest notice ever, but a bit shocking still. With just a few weeks to prepare for his deployment, things started to get a little crazy. We planned a fast trip home in November to visit with our families. It was so last minute and unplanned that we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to see and do everything that we wanted to do. But, we got to go home for a few days at least.

We returned with one week left before his deployment. I cried, a lot. Then, on Monday he went to work. He had to finish some paper work for out processing and prepare for his flight out on that Thursday.

I was at home, probably moping when B called. He said, "Guess what!". I, not being in the mood simply asked, what. He said, "My deployment has been canceled." I remind you, this is three days before he was set to fly out. So I responded, "Shut up, that is not funny."

Well, it turned out to be true. Three days before I was to take him to the airport, his deployment was canceled. Oh-my-gosh! I was so excited! He would be home for all the things I thought he would miss! Our second wedding anniversary, Christmas, New Year's 2011, his birthday, Valentines, Easter...you get the picture.

Thank you Air Force, for the month long whirl wind ;) But, mostly, thank you for not needing my husband this time!
