R & R (I Get Him For a Little While)


Billy's Coming Home......I seriously want to shout it from roof tops. It has been 9+ months since I last got to touch, hold or just look at him. For those of you that don't experience the military life and always wonder how 'THE HECK' do you do it.....This is it! R and R.....Rest and Relaxation. It's the Coming Home that makes it all worth it (kind of). In our family we try to make R&R a vacation. We take the kids out of school and we just play for 15 days. We get to be a family 'TOGETHER'. Billy doesn't have to work into our schedule and we don't have to work into his. We'll save that for when he gets home for good.

One of the hard things for me when Billy is gone, is people that know me don't know that I have this amazing other half. He makes me laugh and giggle like I was a 12 years old again. He is the perfect half to what I can't complete. He makes life not stressful and makes sure to tell me (often), "Every thing is going to be alright!" (he usually sings it, which makes me laugh).

He's the Cheese to my Macaroni! (I heard that recently and thought it was cheesy.....but funny!)

I love you Billy Come Home Safe!
