Goodbye 2010!

Before I talk about how elated I am to be done with this shitter of a year and how close it is to Shane being home, I have a few updates since I did not post for a little while there. I swear I am trying to post more frequently, but I just make myself too busy sometimes.

-I had a lovely time home from the 24th-29th. Lovely minus the blizzard that is. The stupid amount of snow kept me from seeing my grandma which bummed me out, but Shane and I will be going home to visit everyone in February anyway.

-I am basically done getting my apartment in order. I still have the whole curtain thing to start and finish again though. Hopefully my friends will be able to assist me this weekend, since I would never attempt such a project on my own again.

-This coming Valentine's Day will be the fourth that me and Shane will have been together for. However, it will be the first that we will actually be together-together so I am looking forward to the stupid holiday for once. In honor of actually being in the same state and country this time around, we are going to go to New York City, since V Day falls when we will be on the East Coast visiting. We have also never been to the city together, so to say I am excited would be an understatement.

Okay, so moving on...Happy New Year everyone! 2010 has been the worst year of my life, but a lot of positive things have come from it as well. I have made amazing friends this year who I can't thank enough, I have learned a hell of a lot about myself and how I function under stressful situations, and my marriage has only grown stronger.

Shane's window for his arrival to Fort Hood is January 14-18 now. He will basically be on his way home in 2 weeks, so at last, the final home stretch is here. I will still be on edge until the day he leaves, because he will be doing missions until then, but knowing I can almost count the days left on two hands is a relief.

I am welcoming 2011 with open arms because I will have a husband to welcome home very soon. I am pleased to say that after almost a year of waiting, we are almost there and I couldn't be happier.

Time to ring in the new year with friends! And champagne! Cheers all around!
