			<title>Tim is Home!!!</title>
			<author>Aidansmom07</author>
			<description>After a very long wait, he has finally been returned to me.&amp;nbsp; He's about 50lbs lighter&amp;nbsp; but he's still the same man I always loved.&amp;nbsp; I am so happy right now!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I was lost without him.
Hopefully we have a good length of time together before he is deployed but thats only a hope as we are in a time of war ...</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well...I am excited to say, that I have but 2 more weeks until my husband is finally returned to me by the military.&nbsp; How long he will be home remains to be seen but I'm so glad he is coming.&nbsp; I have missed him like crazy, but it's almost over...for now!!! YAY!!!!</p>
<p>When he returns it will have been 4 1/2 months in total that he has been away.&nbsp; I know that when he is deployed it will be for longer than that, and while I am not looking forward to it I feel a little more confident that I can deal with it.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for your support...if anyone wants to countdown with me, it begins today!!!</p>]]></content:encoded>

Spring has finally come back to us here and so Aidan and I are getting out more and doing fun things together.&nbsp; I am still having my struggles with him as his dad leaving has really affected him but he seems to be coming around more.&nbsp; Less than two months and I get to see Tim for a weekend.&nbsp; 9 weeks after that he will be home.&nbsp; Wish I had more time to spend on Minti but have been so busy.&nbsp; Everyone here is so supportive!!<br />
Thanks everyone!<br />

<p>I was extremely touched at the heartfelt, considered answers to my question about attachment issues.&nbsp; All of the answers were extremely helpful.&nbsp; I was moved to tears by the people who caught the underlying issue that I have...which is Military Deployment...something that I will likely have to deal with many times and were kind enough to share what they know with me.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I really love this website...I must say.&nbsp; I used to want to check my hotmail all the time, but now I just want to see what's new on Minti.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Ok I think thats all I wanted to say!!!</p>
