Milestone
Before this Sunday wraps up I want to share some more good news. Drew tells me that today marks the half way point of his deployment! Obviously, anything can change in the next 6 months, but at this point September 20th is the finish line!

Sweet Saturday
Look at the sweet surprise I found on the front porch this morning!
Yes, two dozen roses from Drew. I didn't even hear the doorbell ring. i just happened to be running out the door to get to the gym for a class and found the box of roses. Needless to say, I didn't make it to that class, but I did eventually get to a spinning one. And, I have these beautiful flowers to smell and look at all week long.
If you are wondering what the special delivery is for... Drew and I had our first date two years ago today. It's hard to believe. To be honest, it seems like way more than 2 years have passed since that first "hey, let's get dinner." But, I am SO GRATEFUL he asked me to get dinner that night. I can't imagine being anywhere, but here, at this point in my life. I have Drew to thank, my family, and all of my friends and his family to thank for all the fun and excitement that has made these last two years, seem like much more, because of all the great memories that make them up. It's amazing how much fun lies ahead in these next two years!

Tick Tock
It's hard to believe that it's been almost a month since Drew came home for his R & R. Yet, when I think about time, it seems as though the days are dragging along.
A friend brought it to my attention that I haven't posted in a while and I think it's because it's hard to think that it will be another six months until Drew comes home again. And, I know that before I can post anything, I have to mention his visit. On the up side, he is half way done - there is a light at the end of the tunnel... it's just a very LOOOONNG tunnel.
It was great to have him home for the two weeks. I was able to get some days off work and extend our weekends together. We took some time to do wedding things, visit with friends and friends of friends who have been sending him letters. We even took some time to look at some open houses. No, we aren't planning to move now, but decided to get an idea of what's out there and what we both like/don't like. Not to mention, Drew LOVES looking at homes that are for sale.
I think it was really good for Drew to get home and take a break from working continuously. That mixed with getting his masters just makes for some really long days away. Plus, it's not getting any warmer over there. Spring and summer are right around the corner which means the temperature is rising... and will continue to rise to about 120 degrees.
He got plenty of love from Lexi while he was home and I know she will miss him while he is gone, but will be even more happy when he returns... for good!
