the next 2 years will be quite the challenge

DH gets deployed June 23 (just over a week after stella's first birthday) for a minimum of 9 months. to qatar (this is non-combat). leading up to that, its going to be a struggle: monthly drills will now be 3-4 days rather than 2 days. he will be gone 21 straight days in april or may as prep. he just returned after 9 straight days gone for guard stuff and that was a challenge at times! i always knew this would be a possibility but in the 5 years we've been together it never actually happened. the really unfortunate thing is over the past year i've really learned who my friends were when i quit going to the bars and then got pregnant. i fear this will be a lonely existance for me.

  • Im sorry that you are going to have all of that going on, but I am thankful that we have men and women like your DH who are willing to serve our country.  Maybe it wont be as bad as it might seem, and hopefully some pressure taken off being that he will be in a non combat situation. Hopefully you can make the most of a cruddy situation and find ways to keep busy.
