Thanks for stopping by, follow me through my year!

Well this is all pretty exciting for me. I am new to the "blogosphere" but thought I would document my journey through another deployment.
This is the fifth deployment for my husband, and each one is different and difficult in its own way.
There are many men and women out there just like me; spouses, fathers, mothers, sisters brothers, and children. So many of us that put our lives in a bit of a holding period waiting for our loved ones to come home.
For most of us, we know the sacrifice our soldiers pay, as well as the sacrifice each of us pays while they are gone!
For better or for worse, we keep the home fires burning.

Counting down the days....

Well here we are in the time frame leading up to another deployment. Typically I am the partner to hold my feelings in until he is gone, I reserve my tears when I am alone. I try so hard to be strong for him before he is gone.
This time (number 5) I am finding it hard to hold back the angst of his upcoming departure. I find myself falling asleep with a tear in my eye, knowing that in a short period of time he will no longer lay by my side as I fall asleep.
Although this is a hard time, I am proud of what he is doing to serve his country and I pray for his safety and safe return.

At the end of the day, I am grateful for ichat and skype to keep in touch with the man I love.
