Halfway Home

Today marks six months which means Drew is halfway home!! The other great news is that, as you know, Drew was just home for 2 1/2 weeks. It was the best thing ever!! We looked forward to our time together for so long, and it was well worth the wait! It was everything we imagined and more. Yes, the cruise was amazing and island-hopping around GA was fantastic... but being able to eat breakfast together, sleep in the same bed, sit on the couch and watch tv, go to the grocery store... the little things were just as amazing. Oh it was the best!! I don't really know where to begin so I guess I'll give you a little slideshow. :) Let me begin by saying, when Drew walked in the door, the dogs absolutely went crazy. They walked right past me and that trend continued the entire time Drew was home. If Drew went in the kitchen, went to the bathroom, walked outside, the dogs were right there with him. They love their momma but they definitely miss their daddy!

The first week we spent our time visiting the different islands around here. We went to Jekyll, St. Simon, and Hilton Head. We did some fishing but more than anything we relaxed.

And how did I forget the eating and drinking part? We had so many amazing dinners at home and out. Maybe that's why we both gained 5 pounds. :) It could not have been better. I love this picture of Drew. :) I think I love every picture though!

Next, we were off on our cruise to the Bahamas. That was even more relaxation time, eating, drinking, swimming in the beautiful water and spoiling ourselves. It was so romantic!

In Nassau we rented a car to get out and see more of the city. We rented this hilarious little car. When we were in AZ last year we had a little yellow one... but I think this is even smaller! Drew looked so big in it!

And of course we had to go to Senor Frogs before we got back on the ship. But don't worry... we returned the car first so we were not driving. :)

The last part of our time together we did "normal married couple things" like running errands and hanging around here. We went to Tybee one day and had fun catfishing one evening but besides that we didn't go too far. It was the perfect way to wrap up our time together.

Then on Wednesday morning it was time for Drew to get back to work. I shaved his head the night before like I did last time. We think it's a good luck thing. :)

I took him to the Savannah Airport and was able to go to the gate with him. And that was it. We have six more months to go then we will be together for much longer. Drew and I agree that it was so nice to have those two weeks together, but it also makes us want to be together even more. We looked forward to our time together for so long and now it is time to set our sights on Drew coming home in October. Drew is in Kuwait right now on his way back to Kirkuk. I talked to him tonight and he definitely misses home already but he is focused on his last six months. I'm happy to wait another six months for that man. I'd wait for him any day.
