Bring on the Berrrrrrrrr Months!

Today is the first of the BERRR months (SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, DecemBER), Andy usually refers to them as the "BRRR" months as they are the colder months for Colorado. This year is a little bit of a different story as the heat has stuck around. I guess that only means we're in for a bitter winter this year! As I am looking forward to the long, much needed weekend that I will be spending with Andy I am beginning to think about how these next couple of months are going to just blow by, and all the changes that are going to take place.

Andy is going to be one busy, busy man these up coming months and I am almost just dreading it. I have been so very lucky that for the last year (and almost half) that I have not had to be away from Andy for so long. At the beginning of our relationship it was just 2 hours apart & seeing each other every weekend until late last year we finally moved in together. And at most, it's only been two weeks here and there for field training. So with that, I have never really been away from Andy for too long & I am so thankful for all of that time!

Schools & more training ahead for Andy. And it comes in a few different options. Option A: Mountain warfare training & Sniper school. I am so excited that he is finally getting sent that way. There were many opportunities for him to go, but the Army is awesome at losing packets or someone else is trying to play God (screwed him over) Option B: No Mtn. Warfare Training, Sniper School & JRTC. Which means he'll be gone for a consecutive amount of time - this is where I begin dreading things a little bit. I have mentioned that I have been so lucky that we have not had to be apart for very long.

The year seems to be wrapping up a little quicker than I want as we start to creep into the colder months & the next thing we know it's 2012. Time flies & I have no idea where it has gone. For those of you that are in military relationships or marriages a certain number of months seem like such a short time. Especially if those months are counting up to what you all know as D-Day (Deployment Day). I am starting to feel that way now. I have quite a number of months before that dreaded day, but I feel like there is so little time to share with Andy before then because of all the schooling & training he'll be attending.

In a sense, almost can't wait for him to go! haha, yeah you read it right. I almost can't wait because I can't wait to miss him, and get that grand feeling of having him back again. And almost, I almost even wish that he would just get going on deployment already... so there are no periods in between where he'll leave, comes back & then has to leave again =/.

But thank goodness for the wonderful family & friends whom I have surrounding me here in Colorado.
