(Just noticed this is my 100th post!! Woohoo!!)
So my hubby is leaving me for 10 weeks in less than a week and half. :o( I kind of have mixed feelings about it. But mostly I'm really getting sad and downright nervous about it. I don't know if I'm ready to be a single mom (and dad). But it's something I'm just going to have to get used to, right? I am very proud of my husband for choosing to serve our country and I admire that he wants so much to take care of his family. I'm just sad that I won't get to see him. (Selfish reasons). And nervous of being alone without my best friend around. And especially with two toddlers. ALL the time! The night time is was scares me the most. I hate being alone in a house at night. I freak out over all the noises I hear and keep expecting this to happen....

And someone to attack us all in our sleep! Gaah! I hate that feeling. I've watched too many horror movies, I think. Luckily Kylann is leaving me his pistol handy. :o\ Though I hope and pray that I never have to use it.
I'm also not looking forward to days like this one....
Which leaves me feeling like this!...
How do military wives with kids do it?? It's definitely going to take me some time to get used. But I'm also really looking forward to a totally new experience. And possibly getting the chance to move to a different country at least once. Please keep us all in your prayers. Especially Kylann...that he will be able to get through his rigorous training. Both in basic and his AIT training. Both physically and mentally. (He's not as young as he used to be). ;o) We love you Kylann and we'll miss you more than you may realize.

I'm nervous for you too. I'd be bald or completely grey by the end of it. Good luck. Wish I could come keep you company and protect you in the night :) (I'm terrified at night too, so maybe we could just hold each other until sunrise :)
I know how scared you must be feeling...it will seem like such lame advice, but seriously take it a day at a time. Basic will be tough because you can't skype or talk to him. I remember Shawn calling a couple days after he left and he read a script of 2 or 3 lines to tell me he was safe. It was awful. Just know he wants to tell you more :) Pray like you've never prayed, know we are doing the same for you all!! Even though you aren't close to a military community, doesn't mean we aren't aware of our girls left behind ;) PLEASE call if you have questions, need an understanding listening ear, to vent, CALL!!! I also recommend making sure you tell your Bishop and Relief Society Pres. about him leaving and for how long. If you are too nervous, tell me your ward and stake and I WILL CALL!!!!! Hang in there, 'this too shall pass' and it will go quicker than you even think ;) (like pregnancy, lol)
Thanks so guys. Sister, I would totally love it if you could come out here. You don't need to go to Disney World. Come see us instead! ;o)
And Michelle, I really appreciate the advice. I really hope we can meet up with each other at least once while I'm out here.
