Good morning!
Today Three weeks ago, I dropped brian off at the pier. Awaiting the dreaded deployment. But its been Three weeks to learn, grow, and long with and for someone. I feel that the time is traveling by pretty fast. And it is also setting in whole heartedly that i truely have a long time until he is back with our family. But if i let myself get caught up in the time aspect it would just be stupid. So i just focus on the ending; because it will not last forever! What i LOVE about this process, and what i was looking forward to the most, is growing the relationship. You learn so much about who you are as a person without your right hand man. You learn how much you can do on your own. You grow pride, as they grow pride for you. Little milestones are huge and exciting to report back. flames and sparks are rekindled. The butterflies re-appear, and the ear to ear grin is prominent on all phone calls & skype, and most emails read. ITs a great feeling to be SO in love with someone. But knowing the feeling is mutual is more than amazing. I feel fortunate to have such an amazing husband and father to my children. He writes every chance he gets, he calls every chance he gets (which probably wont be so good when we see the bill...) and this past weekend we got to see him skype in twice. WOW was it amazing. I wanted to just squeeze him through the camera. He looks the same im guessing, but he's hot to me again because not seeing his face everyday you arent used to "looking" at him, so seeing him is a BIG treat!
Skype is amazing. amazing is apparently my new favorite word. Anyways, the kids just melted over their daddy. Sladen was hogging the camera. Brian kept telling him "bud, you have to back up so i can see all of you." he would back up of a second then work his way back up there. But he was just excited for his daddy. Sis has grown alot and brian was amazed. Seeing his smile as he was watching the kids was a great thing! I dont know what i would do if we didnt have modern technology to keep us going!! Im not going to keep typing about this subject because it tends to bore people. But just know that we got alot of contact with brian this passed weekend and it was great for all of us. Just what our spirits needed!
Memorial weekend went well. I put together my first charcoal grill yesterday. You forget about the stuff that you have to do when you dont have a husband around to help. but i put it together and it withstood its first bbq! i was pretty proud! First of many things to come. We had a princess birthday party for my mom. I had told slade that "nan's" birthday was coming and he said that she had to have a birthday party; well of course!! It was decked out with princess plates, cups, table clothes, and even princess party hats. Mom was topped with a birthday crown and purple cakes! it was a very fun time. And mom was a good sport. Everyone obeyed slade when he told us we had to wear our party hats. Even papa!
Its finally warming up here in michigan. today is supossed to be pretty darn hot. without an AC unit, hot is a scary word. YUCK! but we will try to stay cool.
So far everything is going good. time is going by fast, and we are starting to get our lives back together without daddy.
That is all for now. short & sweet.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
