Well, I got one truck task accomplished today.. I replaced the dash and radio surround . Some how it was all broken the surround had 4 tabs and 3 were broken. The dash was cracked and broken in places.. I got a replacement off eBay. It had a couple extra switches since I came out of an expedition.. it fit great and was in better condition than advertised..

Good morning everyone. I’ve had a crazy busy few days.

But another month has passed. Four down. And unfortunately, seventeen more to go. I received news that when they changed his mission it reset his deployment clock as the new mission is also slated for eighteen months. I’m a little pissed. I didn’t know they could do that.

It is. But I guess stuff like that happens from time to time. I signed up for the Armys wishy-washy crap when I decided to be with my soldier.
Today, being the 24yr anniversary of black hawk down makes me a little more on edge about him being over there. Which is a little silly as it’s really no more dangerous than it was yesterday.

Morning Steve, Kay! That's ridiculous. But, I'm glad to see you sticking it through, I've seen how tough deployments can be on significant others.

It is tough. Especially with the only communication being a letter every 6 or so weeks. But I’ve got a great best friend that supports me. And a love for my man so strong it surprises me sometimes. He’s amazing, I wouldn’t give him up for anything. I don’t know why his ex wife did, but I’m glad she did!
