Time's slowly passing...

So, according to my "Doughnut of Misery" I'm 17.4% through this deployment. In some ways, it feels like he's been gone a lot longer than that, and yet in some ways, it feels like he's only been gone a week. He's got just over a year left in and he's already planning on what's going to happen when that year is up. I have my good days and my bad days. I thank God for my friends, though. My friends Amanda, are always there for me. My next door neighbor, Amanda, calls me periodically to check on me, more often when she knows I'm having a bad day. My BFF out here, also named Amanda, is always with me. If she's not at my house with me, we're over at her house. We've started a routine where I will keep her kids on Friday night, and she will keep mine on Saturday night, just to each have a little bit of a break. Even if we're not together, we're texting each other, or playing on Pogo games together. It's awesome. She won't let me get too depressed, and she does whatever she can to cheer me up or help me if I need it. Anyway, that's just a small update on me, if anyone cares.
