it's all happening

Chris is deploying for 6 months next month and they told us today! I wish we had more time to prepare. We were going to go on a trip and everything, but we’re going to go on it when he gets back… we’ll need a lot of alone time then anyway. Plus I’m just not ready to leave Austin for more than a day. And since he’s nursing he needs me too. Anyway it’s going to be hard, but I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I’ve been mentally preparing myself since AIT. I just hope that I’m prepared enough. I’m going to be a “single” mom for 6 months with two kids. What a nightmare! I think I’ll be able to handle it though… it will be hard but I see woman do it all the time in the military. Plus we could really use the extra money.

Anyway so this weekend we’re going to celebrate Valentines Day and our anniversary! I so excited! I feel the love in the air :)

Everything will be fine. You have Natalie, Nikki, us and your friends so you won't be alone. At least Chris has the kind of job that won't require him to be in actual combat...so I'm thankful for that!
