The First Week


Its the first week with Brad being gone.  It sure does feel different.  I'm not sure it really has fully sunk in.  Sometimes it feels like he is just away for another test and that he would be home in a week or two.  Taylor and I still some work to do at the house.  We have been procrastinating a little bit.  Its Sad to go there.  We miss Brad a lot.  I know we are not the first family to be separated and definitely there are much worse situations, but this is all new for us!  We are all thankful for the support that our friends and family are providing to us, it makes all the difference.  The first day was really the hardest for me, but then came a little relief.  I mean it really sucks that he is gone but I think it will go fast or at least I hope so.  I think the anticipation of him leaving along with all the goodbyes is what made last weekend and maybe even the last month be so tough.  It was exhausting to go through those emotions every time someone else was seeing him to say goodbye. I think because I'm such an emotional person I just felt the sadness for everyone.

Hopefully we can get everything done this week, and turn over our house and get it on the market.  I really hope it sells fast and that we can just start saving that mortgage payment for our move.  I found a groupon for 3 hours of house cleaning at a decent price and have decided to let someone else finish up after we are done getting everything out.  It would take me way longer then that and probably be super emotional.


 
Love and Miss him....
 
 
Taylor is done with Cross Country!  So proud of what she accomplished!  Her last meet was a 5K and she was able to finish in 31 min.  She did not stop and walk, she ran the entire time! Way to go Tay!!!

Family time...

I knew that this weekend would be hard but not this hard.  Lots of Respect to all the military men and women who go on multiple deployments leaving their loved ones behind and who also move from state to state. This last month and half has gone by so fast! Brad leaves Sunday morning so the last couple of days are just a few errands and FAMILY time.  We've met up with friends and family had dinners etc. So now its time to be SELFISH and spend the last day with just the 3 of us!!! Thank you to all our friends and family for all your support! XOXO
