Well I would love to tell you that it gets easier as time goes by but honestly, it gets harder. I'm praying for my love everyday and for myself that with every passing day it will be easier than the last. I am getting through this and I am strong enough to get through this but the fact of the matter is I'm lonely. One of the greatest gifts God has given me is a supportive family and new friendships. I have been spending time with some lovely girls down the hall from me and also with my two best friends :) I'm so thankful for them because they're the reason I don't sit a wallow! I have also made deeper connections with other wonderful women and could not have been happier that they were put in my life at this time. Had Rico been home, it might've been harder to spend so much time with the girls.
But, one very exciting thing that happened with me is that my sister made it official that we're going to Europe in June! We're going to London and Paris and go to all the historical places and museums. I'm very excited and grateful that Rico is letting me go :)
Well enough of me, on to Rico!
It hasn't been an exciting deployment but it has been an interesting one so far! Rico was able to go out on the city of Dubai and to a water park. He had a great time off base but had a hard time with the group he was with. Without giving out too much info: they were all over each other. He hated being the third wheel. Hopefully and prayerfully when he gets back, he won't have to deal with that much. Especially with people he barely knows :) I am glad that there is no action but I'm sad he's bored out of his mind! He gets to go off base again soon which will be great!
I'm really missing him and I know he is missing home immensely!
That's all for now,
His Wife :)
