Day 63

Another snow day! Ahhh! I'm so sick of snow. I had a mini panic attack trying to make it up our street this morning. Then, I was passed by flying tractor and trailers on the way to work - but oh well.  Just call me Granny! I miss Louisville and living in the city. I'm pretty sure the roads got cleared back home (in the middle of nowhere) a lot sooner and more frequently than they do here. It's so frustrating. It snowed all day. The drive home was even worse. There were 5 cars stopped/stuck on the main drive in our neighborhood. I took the side drive up and somehow, with a lot of skidding and sliding, made it! I was too chicken to park in the driveway (with the several inches of snow) because my neighbors car slid down his driveway today. Crazy! Luckily it didn't hit anything!  He used his awesome snow blower to clean the driveway and then parked the car in the garage for me. Lets hope I have enough courage to back it out tomorrow... after all this mess freezes. Currently the wind chill is negative 2. Speaking of freezing, the high on Monday is 1 degree. Yes, the high.  Lord help me.

My New Years resolution is to be healthier.  Eat less, drink less (alcohol of course) and exercise more. 2 days in, I'm golden. We will see how long it lasts...  My boss at work bought us all Chick Fil A for lunch today, I got a grilled sandwich and only ate half of my fries. Stuart would laugh at this, and quite frankly - Im not sure he would believe me! If all else fails - I made it 2 days, ha.

He is waiting to hear whether or not he has a mission. He took a nap in preparation and will be quite upset if its a no go. I don't think he did much else, besides work out. Today, they did legs and I think he's a bit sore... working out muscles he forgot he had!

We're currently reading Mockingjay. Well, I am anyways. He was impatient and didn't wait for me. He started yesterday and finished today. Ha. There aint no way in the world I'm reading a book in 2 days.  Today, I read 2 chapters. I'm just shocked that I have managed to read 2 books already during this deployment.

Last night, our face time was abruptly cut short. No goodbyes - just a black screen. The internet failed us. I wondered if he had been attacked. I couldn't sleep. Hadley woke up. One of those nights... and then it got even weirder.  I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that he magically came home and was in bed next to me. But I felt him... there are no words to describe it. I felt some presence and woke up and was so freaked out. Then, I really couldn't go back to sleep. I'm hoping tonight is much better.

Really hoping that this backwards county will clear the roads tomorrow so that I can make it to work. We're supposed to get Hadley's second flu shot... and Jackson needs a hair cut.  I guess there's always Saturday...
