14/November 9

Here it is, the second full week that Damon has been gone and I am beginning to really miss him. At first, it was the little things I missed... waking him in the morning, getting a hug before he left to work, talking to him after school/work, laughing with him, etc. Now, it's all the things... eating dinner together, sitting on the couch, feeling his feet touch mine, watching him play with B, hearing about his day, etc. I need to remember this for Iraq, that things are easy in the beginning before it gets hard. And that I need to settle in and then get busy. Really busy. I'm cleaning the house... from top to bottom... whatever to pass the time :-)

... 29 more days to go ...
