Well

I don't even know what to title this one. There has been a lot going on here. Aaron just recently got back from GA for a TDY. I was so glad to have him back here. I stayed busy every night hanging out with friends, and yes even going to the gym!

We decided to go to Toledo Bend last Saturday and spend the day with friends. I'll get pictures up here asap. 17 of us went and had a great time! The little girls spent most of the time playing with John Wayne (Bartles new puppy) and I attempted to help watch them. I think I did ok considering I only lost Zoey once and she only ate a little sand ( the other girls made a "birthday cake" for Emma) and did I mention she squeezed one of the little fish?!?! Sorry Jennie. I think everyone else did some fishing. Gary was the first to catch one. I threw out the line maybe 5 times before I gave up. We also packed a picnic and played some frisbee. Overall it was a very good trip. We are planning to go to Sea World next month and I can't wait.

Saturday night when I got home it finally hit me that Aaron was actually leaving next month. I just got our tickets to go to Ohio at the end of the month and I guess I really haven't taken the time to stop and think about it all. It was a very long week when he was gone on TDY, but 6 months? How am I going to do that? It's easy to say "oh six months is no time, it will go by fast." But to actually be gone that long, am not too sure. I know I can do it, I just know it's not going to be easy. I'm sure there will be lots of lonely, sad nights that I will call our families crying. And you can bet that I will be making lots of trips to see them. So what will it really be like when Aaron deploys??? I guess I will find out...
