Jack is deploying a little earlier than we had thought. Honestly, I expected myself to be a little more upset about it, but I think the fact that we get to spend every day together makes it easier. We have time. Not a lot of it, but at least we have it. And we are certainly enjoying it! My next post will show some of the exciting things we have been up to.
When Jack is in Kuwait, he would be the first to be sent to an area of conflict in the middle east. That means all chemical weapons supposedly perpetrated by the Syrian government and the subsequent talk of military intervention in Syria is making us very, very nervous. It seems as if Congress is really pushing for a military response, as are many of our allies. And Iran, Syria's closest ally, isn't happy about all this talk of intervention. We can't do anything about it but pray that peace will come to this country and that our military, if sent to Syria, will be safe, that they will be there as peacemakers.
What is surreal about this is that I can't get Syria out of my mind right now with all the tension going on over there and my husband's chances at being sent there. But it seems like no one has any idea what is going on. I guess this is what it feels like to be an army wife. You have so many concerns about the safety of your husband and pay attention to every little international conflict knowing that it could deeply affect your life, yet no one outside of this world has any idea of what is going on.
If this post is slightly depressing, I'll include a quote about marriage from my adoring husband: "I love having a wife! I just opened up a drawer, and my boxers were all folded!"
