It's hard to believe that it's already been 7 months since Justin left, but I'm excited to say that today is the day we've been waiting for since July! As of yesterday morning, word was that his platoon would be getting to their base in Camp Lejune, North Carolina about 8pm tonight. I can't wait to be able to talk to him. Monday morning I got a call on my cell from a number that I didn't recognize, as it wasn't even structured like a U.S. number. After listening to the voicemail left I started bawling when I realized it was Justin calling from Bahgdad. He'd never called me before so I wasn't even expecting it, but I'm still kicking myself for not answering it.
He wanted me to be there when he got off the bus in North Carolina, but with my school and work responsibilities that just wasn't possible. I am hoping to be able to go out sometime next month while he is home on leave for most of the month, but we'll see. If not then, maybe sometime during April when I'm on Spring Break. Hopefully it will happen soon though, it's been far too long since I've seen him.
