I loved this entry!!! When you discuss stuff like this, touching on other people's perspectives of having a loved one at war, then lending your own insight to the story, you're at your best!

You are such a sweetheart. Carl is not one to go into a whole lot of detail. "He's a just the facts Ma'am" kind of person.
Thank you for your always sweet words

Just about 5 weeks left. YOu know I get this big silly ass grin on my face everytime I think about it, we are almost done. Compared to where I was sitting on this date last year, you have no idea just how quickly the days are passing. Of course, I have about 20 projects in the works that I want done before he gets here LOL!

I hate I've been away too long....not surprised you are as centered, grounded, smart and just plain wonderful as ever....what did I ever do to deserve two daughters like that?!! Send Carl a big hug and kiss and have him give you one back for me....the days are flying off the calendar...well, I know they aren't flying...but, in retrospect they are! You are so right about not needing any a hero...you need your husband!

MW, they never tell you everything, even when they can, I don't think.....
I know now how sheltered my daugter-in-law, my husband, and myself were, now that my son is home from Iraq and retired. I still don't think he tells us everything, he doesn't want to talk about it, and it's ok. That's what it's all about. They do their job so well. That's why we love them so.
You're right, the ones who boast the loudest are the biggest exaggeraters. We just can't be so gullible and suck it all up.
Your Carl is a fine soldier and you're a fine soldier's wife. He does his job so well because he's got such a supportive wife (that's you) lol

Carl has this habit of "volunteering" for things that make me CRAZY. He has this thing about getting paid to do the same work as everyone else. I told him that hte last thing I wanted was a "War Hero". He laughed at me and said he would never be a hero. I just want him to come home safe...the rest is irrelevant to me. Thanks hon.

Not wanting a war hero? That's a sign of you maturity as well.
You're both in my prayers...

Your husband seems like a caring and understanding person. Believe me, I know plenty of men who would climb a tree to explain every little detail of an experience, (often times, exaggerated), when they could stand on the ground and keep their mouths shut.
Yourself...you seem to be a strong person. I am sure you have heard this time and again, so I won't repeat it, but you show such power and character in your words.
I do like this blog...
