Glass Case of Emotions....

My emotions went through a roller coaster today.... I have been preparing for this deployment since 2009 when I joined the Army, and since the beginning of this year my deployment date has changed daily. Today was no different, when I got to work today my platoon sergeant decided to tell me I was going to leave on 4 flights earlier than I was suppose to. I was so happy! I know it meant i was going to leave pretty soon but the way I look at it is the sooner I leave the sooner I get home and out of the Army. Well I called Rose and told her the news she was pretty calm about it which is amazing because she is the calmest and most level headed person I have ever meet so i know she would take the news well. But go figure typical Army no more than 45 minutes later I got told I was off that flight and back on my original flight. I had to call Rose again and tell her nope I am not leaving on that flight Im back on my original flight. I know I should be use to the constant changes but to be honest I just really want to leave and get this journey started, I feel like Rose, Dylan, and I are just in a very long lingering goodbye and that is really hard. But at the same time I love all the extra time with my family.
