May 18th, 2010

Well today was the day I had to say good bye to Roy. He's official gone for 218 days, 14 paychecks or 6 months, how ever you want to count. I'm counting paychecks and NO its not because I'm money hungry its because there are 2 paychecks a month and 14 paychecks in my mind seem soo much shorter then 6 months.
We woke up at 4am and started getting ready. We got to base around 5am and Roy had to get his last barracks inspection EVER!!! All was good and we headed to the terminal around 6am. We sat around for what seemed like FOREVER. We kept on going in and out of the terminal, just sitting there was driving us nuts. Around 7:30am it was time to say good bye. His plane wasn't leaving till 8am but they had to start getting in line and get ready for boarding the plane.
I broke down, I never knew how hard it was to say good bye to someone you love so much. Even though deployments suck, I know how they work and I know what to expect. I WILL make it through this.

Why Do I Do It? Because nights alone aren't permanent missing him reminds me that I'm lucky to have someone to miss because I am not afraid to make sacrifices for TRUE LOVE

I left base and went to Nicole's house to cry. I'm glad I have her right here for the whole deployment and I will be right by her side when Preston deploys. That is what Best Friends are for :0) I hung out with Nicole and Izzy for a while and headed home. Natalie met me at the house and we went to taco bell for lunch. Food was MUCH needed, now its 3pm here & 6pm on the east coast. Roy should be landing soon so hopefully he can call as soon as he gets off the plane.

I haven't cried since Nicole's house this morning and I'm sure I won't till I go lay down in bed and realize that last night was our last night together.
