1 day down, 364 to go..

My husband left yesterday for his deployment to Iraq.

Yesterday was filled with tears, lots of tears. I washed all of his dirty clothes and put them away. I picked up everything he had left laying out during the chaos. I packed a bag, loaded up the girls and our dog and got in the car. I knew where I was going, just hadn't really planned it all out.

Today, we pick up the pieces and move forward. This weekend is a weekend away from home, away from routine that normally includes daddy. When we return home tomorrow, we will pick up a routine we had left off not even half a year ago.

Today, I am able to say that I am actually doing okay. It is going to be a hard year, but a very rewarding one as well. We are being blessed with an opportunity, we plan to take full advantage of. God has a plan and we are trusting in him.
