Countdowns

calindi · March 2012

What are you counting down to? If it's a deployment, please don't give us numbers! But share! I am obsessed with countdowns.

For me, today marks 6 months until we're married - woooo hoooo!!!! It also marks 9 weeks until we move out of here. Okay, that's tomorrow, but I'm willing to jump ahead a bit just so I can enjoy the dual celebration of single-digit weeks until we're gone, and only 6 months until I hook me a husband!

I am at 74 days until FI comes home (TDY, not deployment). It's funny because I keep thinking that in 3 weeks we'll be halfway through.

247 days til FI makes an honest woman of me. We've got the church and the reception venue, now to get the photog and start finding someone to do invites. That seems like a really long time put into days, but I know it's not.

I am counting down R&R and deployment so I won't share numbers. I can tell you that the end is closer than the beginning. So YAY!!!!

I am also counting down to The Carolina Cup which is a horse race in SC that I have been going to forever. We get to dress up in hats and sundresses and spend the day eating drinking and have a grand ole time. That is 4 weeks away. Oh and we will have been married one year in just 5 weeks.

Zeldakins · March 2012

WOOHOO! That's so exciting!

Also, I really hope you are feeling much better.

Right now I'm just counting down to spring break...I'm so tired of the constant schedule of work, school, home and always wishing that this semester could be over and done with. I have about 9 weeks left until the end of the semester, but only another week until spring break.

Alos, Husband hooking FTW!

Tiddlywinkles · March 2012

I'm counting down to our wedding, of course, in 120 days!!! Less than four months. YES!!!!

And then I only have 89 more days at my job before I can quit. Considering the place makes me borderline miserable, I am really, really psyched. And when I quit, I can throw myself into preparing for a 4,000 mile move full time.

Husband hooking...it's exciting stuff!

Zimsgirl · March 2012

Tomorrow is 3 months til the wedding!

kara811 · March 2012

Well ive kinda been counting down in my head until H leaves. I always do this. He'll be in and out a lot the next few months then eventually gone on a long deployment. Its not really a happy countdown, although we both just want thus deployment to be over with! I'm also counting down til Monday, it's our anniversary! No big celebration anymore since we had a getaway last weekend and ive received my gift but I have some plans for it and maybe we'll dress up for a fancy dinner somewhere.

shan87 · March 2012

I count down for big things, but nothing big is coming.

BIG as in, Wedding, Vacations, Moves (use to count down to finals, and days of class in College).

AmandaSC1988 · March 2012

I am half hearted counting down 51 days until I get married, I wish I was more excited…but when H is leaving soon (I'm not sure OSPEC really matters because it is training, but just to be safe) after the wedding…without me, it is hard to even care.

It's looking like my FI is going to be leaving right after our wedding, too, so I know how you're feeling. It sucks! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

Sammy0709 · March 2012

My countdown is OPSEC related. I don't have any other countdowns...yet.

Zeldakins · March 2012

Amanda and Zimsgirl: Wow, those dates are coming up fast!

calindi · March 2012

Zims, I can't believe you're at 3 months. Holy cow, where did time go?! I remember when you were a year out. I remember being like, "Yep, 10 months, whatever". Now it's a bit more urgent! Holy crud!!!

I'm taking this as a hopeful sign that the next 9 weeks will absolutely fly by.

kyrgyzstan · March 2012

I'm counting down until H comes home! And when I maybe get in of course.

CAB1217 · March 2012

I know I can't believe it! I'm so excited. The whole month of May and June will be great. My older sister graduates college and my brother graduates high school in May so it'll be fun to see the family and everything

Beachy730 · March 2012

I'm counting down for H coming home. If things hadn't changed we would be closer to the end than the beginning, but unfortunately with all the extensions we are still closer to the beginning. So I guess I can also be counting down to the halfway point too.

In the same timetable is our countdown to start TTC. I"m off the pill now, so when H gets home we'll see how it goes!

In 2 months though my mom and our good family friends (the mom and 2 daughters) are coming down for a girls weekend and I can't wait!
