1st Care Package(s)

Well...first week means first care packages are completed and on their way to the sand box. It hasn't really set in yet. It seems like yesterday we just moved to Fort Hood. Now we are thousands of miles apart. It is surreal. Luckily our internet connection is far better than we expected. Also...much cheaper than I expected.

My emotions are in check for now...i've told many people that I kind of scared myself how well I did after he left. I get sad and down when I realize he isn't coming home after 5:00 or when the dogs jump up when they hear a car door slam thinking Dad is home. That stuff does break my heart. But what can you do? You put on your big girl panties and you move on.

A year is a long time but then I think about where I was a year ago...and it kind of shocks me. It has gone so fast. But then again I wasn't counting the days.

So the prayers will be appreciated and the love and support has been amazing. I've had people come out of the wood work to give me their support. It is inspiring. It makes me have hope for the human race when people become so compassionate. I thought some people would become very distant, but they haven't.

It is only the beginning but I have things planned and to look forward to. That keeps me motivated. My husband is my biggest motivation. I miss him but he is safe. THAT is what is most important to me, his safety.

I have the best family and friends in the world. I have been blessed beyond belief. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
