365

Well tomorrow I get to change the status of my count down calendar. I will have three total calendars when I am done making them. One is complete. I scrap booked a 4 x 6 brown card stock with green letters that says ...days until Jesse comes home! Then there are stickers of combat boots, dog tags and camo gear. In the top left corner are three hooks that I removed the number each day and put up one less number. Which means one day closer to me seeing my soldier.
My second countdown calendar is a clip board that is covered with brown army scrap book paper and the bottom reads ... days until Jesse comes home! Then I am going to make 365 cards that read...365, 355, 354 and so on.
The last one, which I am going to take to work with me is a white 5 x 7 picture frame. I will scrap book the background and leave a white box in the middle.  Then using a dry erase maker I can write the days until he comes home.


This weekend I spend the evening with his mother's Saturday night. It was great to watch the Tiger's play not so great and talk to her. I feel so close to her and I am able to act myself.  I was also able to sleep in Jesse's bed. I have slept well the past two weeks, however last night I didn't move until I looked at the clock and it said 6:30am.  I had to get up at 8:00 for a 9am soccer game.  Yes, I was still tired but I did feel rested and not stressed.  I felt very close to him last night. It was hard going to sleep knowing he wasn't there and a few tears shed but overall good feeling! <3
