BurgGurl Forum Champion Registered: Wed Dec 03 2003 Posts: 9455 Loc: Virginia USA	This week marks a year since my hubby deployed to Iraq, and he'll be coming home just in time for my birthday. It'll be my 40th, so I can't say I'm looking forward to that so much, but I am thrilled to have him home. We were lucky to have him for a late "mid-tour" leave for a short time back in March, so it wasn't too difficult to have to return him to the front lines, and I now marvel that he is just a scant few weeks from returning for good! _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

I'm soooooo happy for you that soon you will have your hubby home for good, and in time for your 40th too, so special. And listen, life begins at 40, you have a great decade coming up, trust me. _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.

You're right about that, I have been careful not to talk about that because I don't want to jinx anything. Looks like we'll be leaving here after six years this time around (finally!) and are definitely moving to Virginia. We spent that first week he was home househunting there, and though it wasn't what I'd hoped for, we did find a house. We close on the property on 22 June and then begin to transition ourselves down there immediately afterward. I've moved so many times over the years, and I suppose like childbearing, I forget how difficult it is! But unlike the last time I moved, I will have help so it will be easier, there's nothing like moving alone in the winter.

ClaraSue Forum Champion Registered: Sun May 18 2003 Posts: 7842 Loc: Arizona USA	I'm just now checking in after being gone for a bit so sorry I'm late in telling you how happy I am that he's coming home soon. I can't believe it's been a year already since he left. Time flies for the rest of us, but I'm sure it's been a long year for you. You're going to have to get me your address so I can pop in when we're in VA; I never did make it back to NY. And it's great he'll be there for your birthday. Congrats! _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.
