Elliot and I went on a date last night sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project.  It was refreshing to be out with people who've gone through what we're going through.  I mean, to look at Elliot, you wouldn't think he was hurt.  He doesn't look hurt.  He doesn't act hurt.  By all intents and purposes he's not hurt.  Yet, he is hurt.  He does need surgery.  Timelines don't exist in the army.  And these people have experienced the unpredictable nature of this situation.  It was very nice to be amongst people who knew the right questions to ask and the right questions not to ask.  I know people are trying to be interested in my life and just wanting to know about the path my family and I are on....but that's the stress.  I can't answer your questions.  I don't know.

Anyway, it was nice to get out and meet new people!  It helped that we won too. :)

You won? What did you do? What did you win?? :)

I hope that I don't ask stupid questions. I realize I don't ask any at all! :( Sorry I'm so self-absorbed. Love you, miss you, can't wait to see you soon!
