ie: paperwork out the wazoo for him to fill out, Dr. and Dentist appointments, shopping, packing, getting our pictures taken (thank you Michelle & Donna)....
Instructions for me on the checking account, weed eating, rototiller, lawn fertilizers, furnace filters, etc....you know, take your husband for granted kinds of things.....
Plan a get together so the kids can say goodbye and planning on getting together with Colby to buy a computer camera and getting it installed so we can skye each other occassionally and planning a "last date" for 4 months or so!
Wheeeeee!
The "last date" will be Saturday and that is only 2 days away and then he will fly out Sunday morning! The past week has gone so fast!! ! We are ready mentally but my heart is aching. We have grown so close. To the point of being able to finish each other's sentences. It will be hard to see him walk away at the airport but what a great blessing this will be for us to be able to pay off our home and put money in savings for retirement. I love my husband and the sacrifice he is making for us.I will miss him.

well, draw strength from Deedra - she's made it a year, and she still has 3 young kids at home! Get the church boys to help you out with the yard. I'll visit every now and then to keep your mind occupied :0)
I can do the yard. Not worried about that. My church calling will keep me busy and hopefully I can get some deep cleaning done as well as some projects I want to do. Thanks. I'll be fine, Your right, If Deedra can do it so can I. :)
That's what I had to keep telling myself...if other women can do this when their husbands go off to war then so can I...and my husband is safer than theirs would be. Or I think of single mothers or the pioneers. If they can do it, so can we. It helps to have other people to look to for encouragement. So now I'm glad that I've had this experience so that I can help you through it :) I also looked at this as a test for myself and having been forced to take care of everything, except the mowing ;) I too have learned how much I take Curtis for granted. So I plan on being a better wife for him when he comes home.
We will miss him too. Give us a call if you need anything.
