Less Than 5 months Left..

Everyone has been asking how I am doing with Jordan being gone. Well.. its not easy. No one really sees the hard part of deployments, unless they (personally) have gone through it themselves. But I can say I am handling it so much better than I did last deployment. Last deployment really prepared me for this term. I am a whole lot stronger than I ever thought I would be. Yes, I do have my moments where I break down and feel like I will fall apart. But who doesn't? And actually, I haven't had those days too often, like last deployment. But I don't let that bring me down. I just keep going. This past month and a half has gone by pretty fast, actually. With school, my business, and taking care of the kids... it has pretty much flown by. The end of June still seems forever away. But I know once it comes, and I look back, I will see the time all flew by.

I've also had some pretty amazing friends that have helped to keep my mind off things. Shannon & Jenny have been amazing and finding ways to cheer me up. Melissa is great, especially if I ever just need to drop of the kids for awhile. Switching off nights to babysit for each other, has been amazing. Jenn- thanks for always bringing a smile to my face & always offering to help & helping with my photography. Jer & Alyssa.. you guys are awesome. Getting me away from everything and just letting me let loose and have fun with no stress. When this deployment first began, I honestly thought I didn't think I had a huge support system. However, I learned that its not the number of friends that you have around you, its the ones that are your truest that will be there for you no matter what. And that's something that I have this deployment and I really appreciate it. Appreciate everyone that has stuck beside me and actually cares for me. Thank you. I may not always tell everyone whats wrong. I may tend to have my quite days, but its not something anyone did. Its just me, showing the world I'm ready for this deployment to be over with because I'm missing my husband. So take no offense, if I'm quite or not talking as much.

Landen & Logan have kept me busy and on my toes at all times. I'm always right behind them, whether its cleaning, running, or playing with them. They always keep me going. Which is a great thing. Although, at the end of the day, it does get very tiring. But it all is so completely worth it.

Jordan is doing good. We're missing him every day. Its so good to hear his voice and see him on the web cam! (best invention ever!) We usually get to talk to him everyday at least once. So that's good, especially for the boys. They miss their daddy so much, Especially Landen.

I am doing good. School is going pretty good. It is VERY time consuming, but that is to be expected. Business is starting to pick up. I have quite a few photoshoots and weddings for the early part of May, so thats good. I'm looking forward to it.
