4 more months of the deployment to ride out. Think of the lives of the military family. We are some strong ladies. We have a life to take care of back here at home front. At times it can be straight up a bitch. Especially the nights when our children do not understand why, somehow we manage to hold ourselves together for our children. That alone was the hardest thing this year. Saying that, I think with any bad situation you have to find something good out of it. A life's lesson. I have come to love that I did it. I actually am a little proud of myself. This isn't our first deployment but last time I went back home with the family. This deployment I decided to put on my big girl panties and stay here. I learned a lot about Lisa (for the record I am NOT stubborn I am strong willed). I fought my way out of a lot of life's test that has been dropped upon me this year. I have stuck my foot into my mouth a couple of times. Most importantly I have made a LOT of WONDERFUL memories, I will take through the years with me. Luckily our company has some pretty wonderful wives that I was fortunate enough to spend this deployment beside of. They have helped (laughed) at me through the lesser times. I admit I might giggle a little too at times with their "issues"!!! That is what friends are for, right? I guess what I am getting at is even though this deployment has had it's rough edges at times,at the end of the day it wasn't so bad. I owe a huge thank you to my friends and family. This deployment would have been horrible without you. I am excited to show Ryan all the new tricks I have up my sleeve. 4 more months to go. When that bus comes pulling in and our soldiers take the walk down the steps I will hit my knees and thank God their home... Take care everyone.
