08 December 2008

And these are the days of our lives...

Waiting! Seems that is what Josh and I are doing a lot of these days. Waiting for any word, any movement to occur that will indicate he is coming home.

E-mails from Josh are quick and sporadic which means he is staying busy. I don't really get a lot of information. Each day more and more of the Illinois National Guard arrives, which means the end is near. They have doubled up in their living quarters -- 2 to a room, so they have 14 people in the b-hut now. Can anyone say crowded?!

Preparations for the holidays are in full swing at home. Still a few purchases to make, but for the most part the shopping is done! Some of the gifts are packaged up and ready for giving, some are still sitting in bags. The tree is not up yet... hopefully soon though. We invested in a really nice artificial tree last year. Though I prefer the smell of the real tree, I don't mind the stress free "up-keep" of the artificial one. It will stay up until Josh is home, so for this year it works really well, as we don't have worry about keeping the tree alive and flourishing. I guess that is why Yankee makes the scented candles!

We'll keep you posted...
