They always come. Those pesky jitters, the uncontrollable nerves, the obsessive worrying, they always come before a first date. Mine is with my husband.
I always seem to get nervous before seeing David after a deployment. It seriously feels like our first date. I have been shopping for a week to find something to wear, practicing on how I am going to wear my hair. And I have been non-stop planning surprises. But last night boy was I nervous. I couldn't fall asleep. This morning I had knots in my stomach, I am tense and well nervous.
It is stupid because I have know him for 3 1/2 years and yeah we are now married but a month is a long time to be apart. We got to talk on the phone a couple times but not very long. Of course a 6 month cruise is a lot longer I feel about the same amount of nerves. Cruise becomes habit after a while. You forget what he smells like, and sounds like, you try really hard to remember the prickle of his whiskers or how hard he squeezes you in a hug. Your life consists of email and you don't take it for granted. Calls are short because it is some crazy long distance and you start to just ehhh not need them. So while cruise is tough the middle is the easiest.
Anyway, David gets home tonight. I can't say when just because, whatever stupid Navy. And I will be so happy to have him home. But little Abbey does not like David. So we will see how that meeting goes. I have a feeling she will pull a Kitty Houdini and disappear for a couple days.
So welcome home David!

I am glad he's coming home. I remember the days when Leah and I dated long distance and saw each other only once a month. That adjustment period when you get back together is a little awkward but you are so happy to be together, you barely notice it. We love you guys. Say hi to David for us.
