Everyday during a deployment has its ups and downs. Some days are a struggle to get through, some days fly by. But Sunday mornings are the loneliest. In the years we’ve been physically together, weekends are spent sleeping in, running errands, and just enjoying each other’s company. We’d finish off a weekend at church, at brunch, or just spending too much time in our pajamas.
I realized this last night whilst surfing Instagram. I came across Jen’s post of freshly made cinnamon rolls, ready for baking in the morning. It hit home that we haven’t had a normal weekend in 8 months. We haven’t eaten warm, crispy waffles in our jammies since last year. I’m just glad that we’re on the shorter end of this deployment, and we’ll be able to make brunch and lay around doing nothing soon enough (even if it is next year). Now, if only IHOP delivered…
Aww… yea I can understand that 🙁
I get breakfast delivered all the time- LAZY. I suggest doing the same as a treat until you get your normal Sunday mornings back!
I can absolutely relate! While it’s been only about 4 months over here, I miss weekends & sunday’s the most – our Church/Brunch routine was ‘our time’ and it is dearly missed! I was very bad about attending church when he first left and I think it’s because of how much I didn’t want to do it alone, some wonderful girlfriends stepped in and I’ve been much better these past couple of months – I’ve missed time with God, but still can’t wait until we are there together!
