Counting Down..

If I wasn't so busy trying to catch up on homework, laundry, housework, and chasing my 15 month old around I would put a new picture up, but you will have to visualize it. Our countdown. With Richard in Germany on Military Training I made this really cute countdown for the girls to pull off a day so they know how long until Daddy comes home. This time they understand Daddy is gone. It is a little harder having him so far away. This is the first time he has gone over seas since we have been married. We have been so blessed his delpoyments and training have been state side. He is doing well and is adjusting to the time change. I update over the next little while how he is and how we are doing without him. As most of you know I do not sleep well at night without him, in fact last time he was out of town, I called my Dad at 2 o'clock in the morning to come sleep on my couch. But I am proud to stay I have been okay for two nights. Lets make it another. Post more late. I love you all!

You'll be just fine at night. See...it's fun to be a grown up! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I am going to go away for a while so that someone makes a countdown for me. I just need a place to go...

i am proud of you...i dont know how you do it. i would be a wreck!!! you are so amazing to sacrifice for our country...people always praise our soldiers, which is great and all, but the families of those soldiers should be praised even more! way to go!!!

Here here to Amber, well said. The families and soldiers of our country do sacrifice for the rest of us. Heather you could always come to Cache Valley for a rest.

Steph, you are so blessed to have a good man like Richard! This time he is away should really make you appreciate him and visa versa.
