Time is standing still.
April 19, 2008
It’s been a while since my last post. The past four weeks have been really tough for both of us. I can’t believe it has only been four weeks since he left… it feels like it has been four months. Time has been going by really slowly. I feel like these next six and the half months are going to be the longest time of my life. Thinking about all the things we will be doing after he gets back doesn’t help. I want summer to be here as soon as possible. I want my birthday to be over and Collin’s birthday to be over. Then it will be October and I will be able to start the big countdown. Gosh, it seems so long until then.
We both have been really busy with school. Collin started taking online classes at the Central Texas College. They have a campus on the military post here in Germany and Collin is able to take classes online at his own pace while he is in Iraq. He just completed his American History class with an A and is looking forward towards his next classes. He is thinking about English and American Government but he will have to wait a term or a couple terms to start because of the current lack of internet where he is at right now. I am really proud of him. This will look really good when he goes to the boards to get a promotion.
As for me, I quit my part-time job that I had always worked on Fridays. I have a really busy schedule this semester and on top of tutoring Math again this semester, I am also the tutor for a class called control engineering. It is fun but takes up a lot of time. But at least it will pay for my tuition for the next semester.
On another note: We only have about 16 months left in Germany. Crazy. We started out with 36 months. I can’t wait to be back in the States again. I really miss our life there. I miss it so much!

Oh gosh, yeah 6.5 months still sounds very long, especially considering how long he’s been deployed already! I did not know you are going to leave Germany again so soon! (Granted it is still over a year but by the time your husband gets back it is only 10 months!) Do you know you will be PCSing to somewhere in the States or is Collin getting out of the Army?

gosh, time is a really weird concept… sometimes it flies and sometimes it just stands still.. and usually it’s always the other way of how we want it to be at any given time.
hang in there. time will eventually pass!
