You have his parents cell numbers on speed dial.

You throw sweatpants on to go to a movie.

You sleep with your cell phone because there's always a chance if you put it on the table on the other side of the room, you'll miss his phone call.

You have a bowl of cereal for dinner.

Keeping your legs shaved on a regular basis is no longer a top priority.

You're already trying to decide what to wear on the day he comes home - and that's within five minutes of when he left.

Homecoming has nothing to do with football, parades, alumni, or dances.

You notice bumper stickers more often and wonder about the story of the person driving the car - do they have a friend or family member deployed?

Every time you go to check the time, you do math in your head to figure out what time it is where he is

Each time you get to turn a new page on your calendar, a little voice says, "YES - another one down..."

You spend more time checking your email, and the mail box and going to the post office than you do with your friends.

You ignore some of the calls you get in the day because you "might" miss his call if you're talking to someone else. At night is a different story.

Every unknown number that shows up on your phone inspires excitement (it could be him!)

Someone says "Afghansitan" or "Iraq" (no matter what the context), it immediately becomes personal.

You experience random moments of crying for no particular reason

I LOVE MY SOLDIER!!!! Miss you baby see you soon....(smile)
