Final Post

So I've gotten all my blogs in on time and this is going to be my last one because I don't like leaving things with unfinished ends.

Playoff hockey has started and I'm hoping that Detriot, New Jersey, or the Rangers end up at the Stanley Cup. I'm still going to marry Pavel Datsyuk, mark my words.

Last night, Andrew and the rest of 5/10 Romeo deployed last night/this morning and I took it a lot harder than I planned. There is no way to describe what it feels like knowing that your best friend and love is going to be gone for 10 months and won't be the same person when they come home. I thought that it would be easy hugging Andrew and walking away, but it's seeing all the other girlfriends and wives that ruined my tough girl image.

Carrie, a wife of one of Andrew's friends, had just gotten done saying goodbye to her husband. We all heard a whistle and it was him trying to get Carrie's attention. He had a minute more to talk to her. She ran over and I swear it was right out of the Notebook. There wasn't a dry eye after that.

I hope that no one else has to experience what I've felt the last 24 hours. I don't know where things will be when Andrew comes home and I don't know if I'm wasting these next ten months hoping things will work out.

The four words I'm hanging on to are the "I love you too" I got out of him when he was hugging me before he got on the bus.

That and that alone will keep me here for the next 10 months to a year just to see if we can make things happen again.. Cause to be honest..

I'll be damned if we weren't the most perfect couple you could have ever imagined.
