Day 309: October 16, 2009

Tom's gonna be home in about 10 days. We got real lucky with that, they're sending him home with the first group of people. Before I know it, he's going to be back and its going to be like he was never gone.

Things have been so busy lately, which has been great because its made time just fly by. We are in the process of buying a house, and that's just taken over a lot of my time lately. It's weird... buying a house has been my goal for the longest time and now its so close it just doesn't seem real. I feel so old and adult lately. Getting married, buying a house, starting a career. Its a bit overwhelming. But in a way its sorta scary, because what do you do once you get your happily ever after? What comes next? Those fairy tales from childhood always ended with that, no more pages, but our story is going to continue on. I guess I'm a little scared of that. Its sounds odd, but I'm afraid of getting everything I've wanted, because what else is there to hope for after that? And then there's always the fear that it will all be taken from me. Ya, life is good now, but we all know how soon it can come crashing down. But I'll take it for as long as I can, and hope that our storybook doesn't finish before we're through.
