Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter with family and friends! I'd be lying if I said this really feels like a holiday. Not at all. All this feels like is one more day closer to seeing Drew. It is all we can think about! Yes, I have seen Easter baskets, eggs, candy, little kids dressed up for mass... but my brain is focused on one thing. I get to see my husband in one week. Drew and I attempted to say we were not going to talk about it because if we were too excited the days would drag on.... well that lasted all of five minutes in the conversation before we went right back to how excited we are. Drew's schedule is still crazy. He has multiple missions and is still pulling the 24 hour checkpoint security. Things are becoming more active in Iraq as the warmer weather sets in, but the guys are prepared and staying sharp. But even with staying sharp and focusing on mission, Drew is completely focused on coming home!!! Yes, I will cut this blog short since it's a little duplicative. Bottom line: Drew leaves Iraq on Friday, April 9th. He could be here as soon as Sunday or as late as Tuesday. It's taking 2-5 days to get home. I will take two weeks vacation. We will be here for a week and on a cruise to the Bahamas for a week. We CANNOT wait!!! Oh the power of patience!!! I've decided it's time to cut myself off from caffeine. I'm wired!!
