We're in the single digits!!!

We're in the final countdown to Cope coming home!!! He is scheduled to leave Iraq in 1 week. It takes a few days of travel to make it to the ATL but that is cool because we'll we waiting with open arms. I honestly can't really wrap my brain around the magnitude of what is about to unfold for us. We are finally going to be a little family, an entity unto ourselves. It has been quite a journey which will make our reunion that much sweeter. I am busy getting things marked off my to-do list so things will be all done and Ramsey and I can just focus on Cope. We're trying not to plan too much and see where the days take us. We plan to really try to live a "normal" family life ( if you consider only seeing your husband for 2 and 1/2 weeks out of 15 months "normal") and not be on the go the whole time. I am giddy with excitement that I will finally see my husband, my best friend, and most of all the father of our child. We have so much to celebrate.
