hoW doeS oNE deAL?

Well, as most of you know Andy is in bootcamp now. He arrived there yesterday and I actually got a phone call from him last night :) It was te BEST thing ever to get to hear his voice before I fell back to sleep! Now, how I am going to deal with the weeks ahead? I have been asked this by many people and have even asked myself this very question. Here is the best answer that I can give.

I am going to wake up every morning and look into my children's eyes and know that thier daddy and I are doing this for them. We didn't just stumble upon the idea of the NAVY, we thought long and hard about it, and prayed for GOD's guidance. I know that everyday I spend away from Andy is another day of GOD's plan being accomplished. Andy and I knew going into this that it wasn't going to be easy and we still decided, together, that it is what's best for us and most importantly our children.

So when I have a moment where I feel that I need only Andy and I feel that I just need to break down.. I will let myself. Because I know by doing that, it just means that our love for each other is irreplaceable. And that thought alone will help me pick myself back up and go on with my day. Looking forward to the day that I will see him again!! And when I have any doubts or concerns I will give them to GOD. I can not change our families path now, all I can do is trust that we are fulfilling GOD's plan for us.

I'm so proud of you and Andy. You are in my prayers every moment. I know this is going to be great for you both. This season is but for a moment - the future is really bright for you. Ecclesiastes 5:19 - God gave you this, enjoy it, it is a gift of God, Andy's Dad
