I had the funniest phone conversation today with my husband. I was sitting at work and a random number popped up on my cell phone from NY. Here is the conversation...
Me: Hello?
Caller: Hey!
Me: Hi?
Caller: How are you?
Me: Good. Who is this?
Caller: Doug!
Me: Ummmm...okay?
Caller: I was watching a movie and thought I would call and see what you are up to.
Me: Who is this again?
Caller: DOUG!
Me: I think you have the wrong number.
Caller: No I don't!
Just as I was about to hang up I heard the caller laugh and realized it was Doug!!!! In my defense, this is only the third phone call I have received from him since he has been deployed. We talk everyday by texting on our iPhone/iPad, chatting on Facebook, and Facetime. And he has NEVER been able to call me on my cell phone before. I thought one of my friends was playing a very bad joke on me.
This is what happens when your husband is deployed for such a long time. I haven't seen him in 7 months!
Doug did receive good news this week though. His report date to Germany was moved back to June 15th. This ensures he will be here for Dougie's graduation and we will be together as a family again once he comes home. The thought of his deployment ending and having to report to Germany 6 weeks later was heartbreaking, but someone in a higher place understood he needed to be with us instead. THANK YOU!!!
Things just keep falling into place for us!
