Life is good. My husband is coming home in
5 days
from a 6 month deployment. Has it really been six months? Have we really gone that long without seeing each other, without a touch or a single kiss? It seemed like an impossible task but looking back on it, it really wasn't that bad. Of course I say this with only 5 days left. I'm curious to see how we will interact with each other the first couple of days, heck, the first couple of hours. Is it going to be weird? Are things allowed to be weird with your husband? Are we just going to stare and giggle? I probably will. I did when we got married- Tom cried, I giggled. I have so many new things I want to show him. From all the new things I've bought, to the newly updated kitchen....to a few surprises.....I've spent the last 6 months alone. Just me and the kitties. I welcome my husband home with open arms.

On another note, the 5k (2.6 miles) run is tomorrow morning. I'm getting a little nervous but also excited. It's something I've wanted to do since high school and am looking forward to it. I've actually talked to Tom about running some road races together. Also, the Christmas party is tomorrow night. I'm really looking forward to getting all dressed up and hanging out with the girls. It's going to be a busy next couple of days.

Oh and also, if any of you are thinking about delivering chocolate to my place of employment, please anything else but chocolate. A nice big basket of fruit would be nice. We have received about 20 pounds in the last week and if I see or eat anymore, I'm going to die of a chocolate overdose.
