Our lives have been crazy to say the least! Brandon was able to come home for about 17 days to spend christmas and new years with us, and let me tell you it was amazing!! It's so weird to be married and living on opposite sides of the country.. but for now thats just the way things have to be. Thankfully, this summer I will finally be moving to California to be with my wonderful husband and finally starting our "married life" together. Suprisingly, I'm not scared to move across the country at all, and even though I barely know anyone out there I know that as long as I have Brandon I'll be alright! My biggest concern is that with Brandons unit's upcoming deployment, and with Brandon being told he is not allowed to go because of his shoulder, he will take his unit leaving without him pretty hard. For those of you who don't know, Brandon has had alot of issue with both of his shoulders and this past March he had surgery to repair or torn rotator cuff, a hole in the muscle in his shoulder, and also an exploritory surgery to look for the "missing" bone from his shoulder. These surgeries have limited his range of motion in his shoulder to the point of him not being able to lift his arm or reach to the side completly, because of this, the doctors have told him he isnt allowed to go on deployment. Although this is great news for me because he wont be thrown into harms way, but at the same time it's still very difficult because he has to stay behind, watch all his friends leave, and cant do anything about it!
In turn, since his unit is deploying, most of the wives that I do know are planning on moving home during the deployment so we both will be in a state we barely know with very few people that we do know, but like I said before..since we have each other we will be fine!
I really should be doing so many more things right now instead of writing this post, because tomorrow bright and early I will be flying out to California to spend a week with Brandon, and this coming friday will be my 21st birthday so hubby is taking me to Vegas!! This is the longest I have ever spent in California with him, its usually just a long weekend that I go out for, and so I'm having a VERY difficult time trying to pack because I want to have plenty of clothes, but I also dont want to have 16 bags. Please pray my flights don't get delayed with all this snow were getting here :)
