This cruise has gone by so fast. I still can't come to grips with the fact that he will be here this week.
Ever since I moved to Virginia I have had a lot to do with the apartment. Painting, cleaning, rearranging... Being a perfectionist is quite a large flaw sometimes.
After tomorrow I will not do anything else around the place. I keep telling myself that once he's here I won't be stressing anymore. All of the hard work I put into the apartment will pay off, and I will lose interest in perfecting everything once he's home. Having him here is all that I could ask for.
My dad and step mom are the only ones traveling here for the homecoming. His mom and my mom couldn't make it, but at least we will be taking leave in December to see them. My dad and step mom will be here on Saturday. I can't wait to see them! Granted, it has only been a month since I moved, but being alone makes a person homesick. I told them they are not allowed to stay in our apartment on the night he comes home :) They wouldn't appreciate us too much.
HOMECOMING!! There is not a day better than this. At the homecoming last year I felt so proud to call the United States my home. There was such a strong wave of patriotism, and there was not a single person there in a bad mood. Everyone is there for one reason. Seeing fathers meeting their children for the first time will always leave a mark in your heart. There is nothing better than being surrounded by reconnecting love. After nearly 8 months of waiting, the servicemen and women will finally be home with their families. Everything will be complete, and the huge celebration makes the day a million times better. This homecoming is different though. The USS Enterprise is decommissioning after a long 51 years of being active. Veterans will attend this homecoming to witness the new sailors, the old ship, and all that has been accomplished since they were aboard. Just another reason why on Sunday I will be more proud of my man and our military than I have ever been before.
