Almost halfway through!

In a few days, Royal and I will have hit the (hopefully!) halfway mark for his deployment.  It's been tough so far, with a hospital visit, going 32 days without a fridge or freezer, a very good friend hurt and too busy to talk since I am not able to afford to go home for her wedding, and my Dad going in for tests on his thyroid (praying it's not cancer) to name a few. 
But I'm still sunny, and that makes me so happy.
 
I don't know if anyone really knows how they will react when a significant other goes off to fight.  I was fairly confident that I'd be okay considering we had spent the first two years living on separate continents.  And so far I'm okay.  Not great, but okay.  What more could a girl ask really?! 
The communication has been good and that is worth £5 million alone!

I just have to make it through a while longer - and two work events to which I'll be going stag - no biggie.  I'm thinkin' a fun holiday is in the cards for when he returns, a little time for both of us! Maybe France, maybe Spain, maybe Austria - somewhere quick and inexpensive!  Any suggestions welcome...

France, Spain and Austria...quick and inexpensive? Funny woman... I'm glad you're enjoying your new home!

I have a friend who's in charge of a missions trip to Honduras right now. At a restaurant last week, he commented, "I can't wait to be at the Mayan ruins on Tuesday!" Tuesday. Not, "Wow, I'd like to go to the Mayan ruins some day," but "Tuesday."

Again, enjoy your side of the pond. :)

Haha, I know how it sounds! But, being in Britain so close, you can find fairly inexpensive vacations (well, I don't know about Austria, but places in Spain definitely!)
And I need a break!
I've always been a bit envious of people able to travel - the Mayan Ruins - Yowza! Hope he has a safe trip :o)

don't go to France, you might accidentally take it over and then look at all the problems with muslim radicals you'd have.

go to ireland - it's awesome.

Been to Ireland and it is super awesome - will go there again someday, it's ace! But probably not until Royal is out of the military.
As for France... it's the closest! But I get your meaning and appreciate your concern ;o) Heck, I'd just pass my new nation to your wiseness, you'd have it sorted in a matter of days!

[Patriot Xeno]

Well, if France got passed to me, there'd be some changes over there, that's for sure.

I'll get right on that, just leave the cheese and the pastries alone, for me okay?

The Vorarlaberg in Austria has beautiful mountains - I had my first honeymoon there. Spain used to be cheaper than France
but I am out of touch. Not long now.
