2 years.

This really isn't a update, just a milestone really...

2 years ago today Eric left for for a 2 year deployment in Japan...and in a few weeks, 

he will be home for good

November 2010, at the airport before he left for Japan

and then we were apart for four months, November-March

He then went to jump school in Fort Benning, Georgia. 

My mom and I flew down to see him.

Eric got some leave after jump school and was able to come back to Ohio for a few days in April:

After April he was gone for 8 months..and came home for Christmas 2011

In January he went to Freefall school for a month in Arizona.

I flew out to see him.

After that we were apart for 7 months, till he came home in July

:) 

can't wait till you are finally home babe!
