It has officially been a week since my husband left. At first I thought being alone with just the boys (3 an 5) would be one of the hardest things to handle, but honestly, they are such a blessing. Not only have we become closer [in just a week!!] but they are listening better. Best of all, they are keeping me distracted. Chasing them around, tending to their needs, doing homework, laundry, cleaning rooms..all of these things have kept my mind off of their dad being gone.
Oh their Daddy.. I feel bad for anyone who has never felt this kind of love. He was literally sent to me from God, an Angel, to be my best friend and lover for all of time. I miss every thing about him, his kisses, his cuddling, all of his love. It's very hard to go on day after day without him here, but knowing he is coming home keeps me going. Mostly I reminisce about the beginning. No one thought it would work, everyone had something to say, but I just knew. Our first date was January 17th, 2009. I didn't even realize he was asking me on a date, silly me! I thought he just wanted to be nice to the new girl at work. Little did I know that night would be the beginning of the rest of my life. We haven't been apart at all really, other than when we had to be [and when he was gone to fire department meetings, my sweet little volunteer firefighter :)]. It only took about two weeks [if that!] for me to know that I loved him with all of my heart. By week three we were moving in together, and by week four we were married. He brought into my life two little angels, Joseph and Joshua, who can be an absolute handful, but are great none the less.
He's finally getting a chance to call today, thank God! I haven't heard his voice since tuesday [4 days o.O!!] and I can't wait for the phone to ring. It sucks that he's going to miss our first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and probably even our first anniversary, but thankfully, we have a lifetime full of them to share!
I love him and I miss him so so much!

I understand! We are 6 months into our deployment. I have become closer with my daughter and even my husband. All of us have to work a little harder to make sure we stay close and it has really paid off. I just keep counting the days! :)
