Birthday and Distance

Happy Birthday Kasey!!

Today is Kasey's Birthday. I'm so happy about it. Celebrating the birth of my favorite person. And he's not here. He's 8 time zones ahead, and technically it's not even considered his birthday anymore with what time it is. I want to be able to take him out. Show him how much I appreciate him being in my life. We didn't get to do last year's birthday either. He was in Afghanistan.

He laughs at me patiently and says, we'll have a lot of birthdays to come for the rest of our lives, and many holidays to celebrate together. I completely understand and agree. We'll get Thanksgiving and Christmas together, unlike last year.

Don't get me wrong, I am VERY thankful for the time that I have been able to spend with my husband. Other Army Wives have had to deal with this longer, soldiers have missed the birth of their children. We haven't had to go through that, and I am very thankful. And grateful as well for all of those families who have had to deal with that.

I think I'm just having a bad day today, but I look forward to spending the rest of our lives together. We will have MANY holidays, birthdays, celebrations, etc to spend together.

And I don't want to be selfish. This is Kasey's day. He wants to be home and be with his family and his wife and his friends. I need to stop being whiny! But for now, I'm going to go grab his hoodie and wrap myself up in it. Then I'm going to think about November when he comes home! I miss you and I love you Kasey. I hope you had a wonderful Birthday :)
