Yes, when Bryan gets to OCS he will have a laptop and a cell phone! WOOT! I feel bad for even complaining because I know that there are wives who have gone and will go much longer without seeing their husbands. By the time all of this is over and are actually PCS’d I bet it will be close to a year though. The distance is hard, but being cut off from all contact outside of letters is difficult. We are managing though. I am very communicative person, so it has been hardest on me. Bryan can be an intravert, so he is probably ok with it more than I am, but I know he still misses talking to us.

I guess it’s all relative isn’t it? I think that having Mike deployed at the same time makes Bryan’s absence even harder for me. I am learning though that I am not alone in the least. Not only do I have other military wives (such as yourself and Butterfly Wife), but I have an absolutely awesome Church. They have been there for me in ways I never even knew that they would or could be! So, if I wasn’t going through this I would never have known just how awesome they all are — blessings abound. I just have to open my eyes — no close them in prayer a little more.
