Tomorrow is the day I've been looking forward to for a while...or so I thought! Tomorrow is DH's separation date, meaning the day he becomes a civilian again. We've only been married almost 3 years, but I've been living the military life for almost 12 now because of my step-father.
I thought I'd be excited. This is the end of deployments! (Of which I have had quite enough thank you!) But it's also the end of a lot of other things. I did not expect that I'd feel this nervous. I mean it feels like a chapter in my life is slamming shut. It will be so weird to drive by the base and not be able to drive on! It's been weird enough trying to understand health insurance talk while signing us up under the coverage offered by my job!
I'm happy/sad/nervous right now I guess. DH is trying to decide between jobs, he has 2 lined up. Finances are changing, he'll be in school soon too. After tomorrow, I become the main breadwinner in the house, unless he takes the second job....
We go first thing in the morning to sign for copies of my medical records and turn in our ID cards for non-active reserve ones. I thought we'd be throwing a party about now...but this whole thing has got my stomach in knots! I just don't know what I will do with myself! I can't wait for everything to be settled and routine again...
