6 weeks and 1 day

I miss home.
I miss mom.
I miss childhood and youth and what life used to be like.
But at the same time, I'm happy with my marriage and my husband and my tiny little 2 person, 1 dog family.  And I like the opportunities that the military has opened up for us.  I enjoy traveling and taking pictures and seeing the world.  Sure I wish we could go to more extravagant places more often, but I'm okay with the small little unknown corners of northern Italy - places you've probably never heard of but I'll look back on one day and say, "Those were the coolest adventures."  And we'll get there.  We'll get to see Spain and Greece and Egypt and Germany and Hungary and the UK and all those other places in between.
