Bring it on #3

Alright you guys. Tonight was the Pre-deployment brief for Jordans next deployment. The consider these briefs as a sort of "wake up call" for me. It's sort of like,
 "Okay, Chris, this is really happening. You need to put your shit together and get ready before it comes or it's going to run your ass over,"
I really feel like I can do this now. I went to the meeting and seeing all the other spouses and families there, I feel like I'm not alone. I feel like I'm not going into this as blindly as last time. Jordan and I are not only going to make it through this deployment, it's going to strengthen us as a couple and as individuals. I really think that it's going to be the best thing that could have happened to us at this time in our lives.

It feels really weird saying that about a deployement. It seems that a separation that long could only pull us apart, but it's going to do the opposite this time. Don't ask me why I feel so differently about this one. I have no idea. But I do. The theme for this deployment is going to be:

"I got this."

We'll see if it sticks.
