A Little Ray of Sunshine

Most of you have hundred of pictures with your spouse. And you get to talk to him or her over dinner every night. And see his or her face when you wake up in the morning.

I do not have that pleasure. I have been begging Bryce to skype with me, but because he doesn't have his own computer and internet is slow, it just hasn't happened. I get to hear his voice when we talk twice a week. But it just isn't the same as seeing his face.

Now I am not asking for sympathy or for anyone to feel sorry for me or us. This is the life we choose no matter how hard it is. But I had to preface this with that so you understand what this meant to me. 

I opened me email to find an email from the Family Readiness Officer. She sends out pictures ever so often, but I haven't found on of Bryce yet. Today however, was my day!! It is a side profile of him in formation. He isn't even looking at the camera. But it is the first time in almost 2 months I have seen his face. And needless to say, I cried. A happy/sad cry. Happy because I have missed that face so much. Sad, well, because I have to keep missing that face.

He is in the second row and the second person in. The tall skinny guy <3 He looks like he has lost some weight, but this picture was taken about a month ago (I think) and he has told me since then he has gained some weight. He should. We are spending an arm and leg on protein powder!! This is my little ray of sunshine!!!!!
