Holy Moley!

As I was sitting writing in my journal last night, it finally set in. He's coming home. Today is my last Tuesday without him here. Brandon will be home on Monday. It was weird to think about that yesterday, that he will be home in now, less than a week.
Last night, at FHE, everyone was talking to me about when Brandon comes home. And, it was weird to say, "Oh, he gets home a week from today." It really is weird.
Looking back on the time that I have waited, it doesn't seem like that much. It doesn't seem like it has already been 2 years. In the moment, the time cannot go any slower. But, now looking back, the time has really flown by. I'm going to list some of the things that happened in the 2-years that Brandon has been gone.
