I have been insanely busy the past few days working on a cake for a friend of mine. She welcomes her husband home from Afghanistan tomorrow morning. A mutual friend of ours found the idea for the cake and suggested I do it. It was late notice, but I was happy to be able to make a cake for a hero. I love the fact that I can make a homecoming even better using my talent and hobby in cake making/decorating. I was pretty proud with the way it turned out. If I were to do it again, I would have ways of tweaking it to make it work better, but for my first attempt at a cake like this, it is pretty awesome.
I know our time for reunion is coming soon, and I am anxious for it. Talking to my friend tonight as she did all her last minute preparations for her husband's homecoming, I realized that I have a lot to do between now and then myself. A few things can't be done until right before, but there are some thing that need to be planned that take time... like finding an outfit... that takes multiple shopping trips to find the right one. So, I am going to work on making a list of everything that I need to have ready for the day Ian comes home. That way, I can add to it if I think of something else and mark of things as I get them accomplished. I am beyond happy for my friend with her husband coming home. A part of me thinks that I am dealing a little better with my own deployment (or maybe it is that I see the light at the end of my tunnel) that is making insanely happy for my friend getting her husband back. I know my turn is coming soon, and I can't wait.
