8 Months

So we've made it. We're a little over 3/4 of the way done with the deployment. It's crazy because it seemed to go pretty quickly, but then I just think that there are still 3 1/2 more of these long months to go. I don't know how deployments usually go since I've never been through one before, but Quinn and I don't really have a lot to talk to say to each other anymore. I don't know if that's normal or if that's a bad thing or what. I don't do a whole lot and he does a lot but it's a lot of the same stuff over and over. I think he's pretty ready to come home though. There's a possibility that he'll be back a little before the year is up which would be great, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't think that deployments will ever be easy, but it's nice to know that I've made it this far without breaking down completely. It's good to know I can handle it.
