Day 2...

I can't really say that it is starting to get any easier. It's only two days into the deployment, and I know the hard part is going to be after a month. Because after that, I know that he's not coming home from a routine field op. But a bit of good news.......I got to see him! Well, not in person or anything, but there's this group of amazing people in Maine that greet planes full of troops deploying. They take pictures of each service member disembarking, and then a close up head shot. And they got my baby!!! You can see him here. They are such a blessing!
I downloaded this app on my Droid today called the Donut of Misery (how fitting), and it's a little red pie chart that turns green the closer you get to homecoming. And I have a tiny sliver of green on my donut! I am officially 24 hours (1440 minutes, or 86400 seconds) into this blasted deployment! This app is my godsend. It has all these stats that show you the days, minutes, and seconds you've gone or until he comes home! Although I get all excited until I see the come home date. Which just so happens to be 19612800 seconds, or 227 days to go. Boo.
