Ok so I said I was going to do this blogging thing while my hubby is gone to war and well he has left.. So I figure I will get started.. This last week has been by far one of the hardest weeks of my life.. Dont get me wrong Im so very happy and honored for my hubby, but that doesnt mean that I want him to leave.. We started the week off by telling our daddy that we will see him later and giving those last hugs and kisses, then me and the boys came home to Arkansas.. I havent told anyone this but the entire trip home I broke down probably 15 times and just cried.. It was a very hard trip.. My boys where so good but everytime I passed a gas station or a truck stop that we had stopped at on our previous trip home, I lost it.. I could imagine him beside me and remember very distinct details of what he said or did at each place.. Weather he was smilling or even upset with me at each stop.. It was so hard..
Once we got to my parents house things calmed down for the most part.. At least with my nerves.. We got settled and then on Monday I went to get Dyllon Back in school but they had a field Trip so he had to wait a day.. Then on Tuesday I took him to school that morning but they had an assembly and he didnt feel comfortable going so we went and walked around walmart for and hour until his class got back.. He did so good when I dropped him off.. I was svery proud of him.. Wednesday we didnt do much which gave me an oppurtunity to make the many phone calls that needed to be made and to get some packing done.. Although Wednesday was a very very very special day.. It was the first day that my hubby called home from over seas.. My heart melted at the sound of his voice.. I dont think he will ever truly know how much he means to me and how when I hear his voice or get an email it makes my day so bright.. Gosh I love when he gets in contact with me.. :) Thursday (which is today) we had some nasty weather come through which made me have to go get Dyllon early from school and after that I got ANOTHER phone call from my husband.. I was so happy and in the mits of rushing because of the bad weather it brought some calm in my storm.. I was to not thin about the pending Tornadoe Warning and the Sirens going off because I was able to focus on talking to him.. Hes always so calm when there is bad weather.. NOT ME!!! I FREAK!!! LOL but just talking to him calmed me down..
For the most part things have gotten off to a not so hectic start and I feel it will stay that way.. I still worry every minute of everyday and no matter how many times he tells me not to I will continue to do so.. LOL But I can truly say that He is an amazing man and is my life. Im very proud of him and nothing will ever change that..
STAY STRONG DADDY!!! WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you are blogging. I've been doing it since we moved away from the NW and it helps us stay in touch with family and friends. :) We miss you here but luckily, your humor can keep us laughing even across the miles. Our Troop is lucky to have you and our platoon is so fortunate to have your Joey. You are stronger than you know and we will survive this year....probably with some pretty good memories in the process. :)
