Well my husband has gotten into his Machine Gun section at his training school. This is good news for me and him. Apparently the other sections are spending mutiple nights out in the field which has been very rainy lately. My husband's section will no longer be spending nights in the field. This means more phone calls for me. He has been able to call me every day so far this week. It's weird to think that in less than a week I'll get to see him again. But I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to him again. For several hours after we left the guys and started home I just sat there crying and praying that he would be able to call me that night. (He eventually was able to call me) Some people say that seeing each other in between actually makes it harder. They say that having to see each other and then say goodbye again is harder than just not being able to see each other. I definitely agree that it is very hard to see my husband, spend every single minute with him for a weekend, and then have to say goodbye again. It's kind of like going through withdrawl. But I wouldn't trade that time we had together for anything. At this point the only thing I have to look forward to is seeing him again. It's a lot easier to count down the days in a couple weeks than in a couple months.
