Long days and nights

It has been a long time since I have wrote. Many things have happened in the past 2 months.

When I last wrote,it was me and Joeys last day in Chicago for his graduation. He has since gone to Pensacola for his A school. We were married there on July 30th. We are going to be stationed in Norfolk,Va. With the distance of 7 1/2 hours the toll is almost as hard as him being in Chicago. we only have 3 weeks left and it has really started to get to me. This past week has been the hardest. He has been sick with pneumonia as well as my dad being sick and in the hospital for 5 days. Both are feeling much better. I feel so helpless,couldn't help Joey nor my dad.With trips to the hospital daily and then attempting to speak to Joey and make sure things were ok for him. Been a whirl wind experience. Keeping myself busy with friends and cleaning anything I can get my hands on(it passes the time quickly)Lack of sleep,bad choices of food on the run,house turned upside down, I am ready for a vacation to put it all behind me. It will all work itself out,just getting there is the problem. I thought the first deployment was going to be hard.Try marrying,then immediately leaving to go back home,without your husband.

Long days and even longer nights.

It's just the first year,oh lord
