Thankful

Valentines Day was just two days ago but I am feeling both thankful and in love.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and since I am a sucker for the lovey dovey stuff I also like Valentines day too. This year I am thinking of them both at the same time.

This deployment has taught me a lot about being thankful and the strength of love.
I am thankful for Dane's sacrifice and love my hero with all of my heart.

Dane has finished with his leadership school and is back to his regular room and regular schedule. He said it is supposed to be 55 degrees this coming Saturday in Kosovo. I can't remember what that feels like!

I worked at Helzberg again over the Valentine's Day weekend so that kept me really busy! I am starting to get some things ready for when Dane comes home on leave. We are applying for a mortage and trying to pick out some prospective houses. Recently, Dane's car didn't start and I am assumming (and hoping) that it is just a dead battery so I will try to fix that this coming weekend. (Doesn't that just sound like fun!)

About 31 more days until Dane is here!!!!!

Days

42 days until Dane comes home on leave
188 days until Dane comes home
256 days until our wedding

Clearly I have been watching the days click down until I get to see Dane. I am positive he is aware of them to and maybe because I remind him often!

Dane has been in school for the last week in Kosovo for his Sergeant promotion. I don't think he is having a blast doing it either. He doesn't get to stay in his regular room, doesn't have Internet access there, and it sounds pretty boring. He has one more week of it but after he is done with that there will be only 4 weeks left until he gets to come home on leave!!!

Last weekend I took a little trip up to to visit my cute niece and nephew! We didn't get to see each other at Christmas so I gave them their gifts and got some cuddle time in! They will be the flower girl and ring bearer in the wedding! Aren't they going to be SO cute!


Loving some cuddle time!

I will continue to countdown the days until my honey is home! My good friend Lisa whose husband lives with Dane only has one more day until he is home on leave. I am so excited for her and her girls to see Ben tomorrow!
