Yesterday was a really tough day for me! I don't mean to drag you all down, I just need to let it all out! Last week, Brian left for the Iraq/Kuwait area so he has officially landed over there but they have been unable to call any of us. The Commander got to email and then call his wife to let us know that they got their safely and to pass along their mailing address but it will probably be quite some time before I can hear from Brian. I guess there is like 1 phone for over 7000 soldiers so I'm beginning to wonder if I'll really get to hear his voice again in the next year or however long it is until he gets home. I miss him so much.

On top of all of that and missing him over the holiday weekend, yesterday was our 2 year wedding anniversary. I know it really bothered him when he found out that he wasn't going to be here for it, and I know there's nothing he could do about it, but I really would have liked to at least talk to him on that day. It's bad enough having to be apart, especially on special days like those, but it really, really stinks that I can't even talk to him! I've already started a really long letter to him and hope to mail it out either today or tomorrow just to get something headed his way to make sure his spirits are high.

Anyways, yesterday was a really hard day to handle though because it was supposed to be a day that we spent celebrating and I was here alone while he's over there with the company. It really stinks, but I'll stop complaining now!
