The Day He Left

Today my husband left for a year long war zone tour in Pakistan. The torn bits of Christmas wrapping paper still lay scattered on around our trees when he slipped out the door. My goals while he is away:
1. Keep our kids happy and healthy.
2. Run a 5k race for every month that he is gone.
3. Write 20,000 words a week.

Though he'll return every ninety days for a two week R&R, he won't return permanently until December 29, 2014.  It's good to have goals, they help time pass, and I really want this time to go by as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

One day down, 368 more to go.
