Day 2 of the new Year!
We woke up late. Hubby couldn't get much done as far as his errands because of the federal holiday.
So we spent a lot of today with the children. We watched them play, we played with them. We tried to give some good quality time while trying to make some good memories for them before Daddy left.
They giggled a lot as he pulled out all of his gear. They played with his flak and helmet. He packed them in his sea bag and managed to get both boys inside of it. I labled all his bags as we organized and packed his personal and military gear.
I still haven't found my camera charger so we have been relying on camera phones and video camera.
After everything was sorted he finally figured out what he wanted to do his last night. He texted everyone to meet him at Cici's pizza for a goodbye dinner.
We headed over to his dad's to wash all his shirts while we were at dinner. We ate pizza and pasta. When I was done, I watched the kids in the arcade while he enjoyed conversations. I'm sorry that he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his best friend. I know they are both probably taking it hard.
After we stopped by a friends house so he could tell her goodbye, ran back by his fathers and waited for his laundry to finish.
Later, we came home and laid in bed and talked. It was good to snuggle our last night. I will miss him this year, but I have a lot of hope.
I have hope that his deployment will go well. He will come home safe and spend a lifetime together raising our children and grandchildren (way down the road).
I have hope I can reach my weight loss goals.
I have hope that my children will excel in their learning and growing, also that they will take this deployment well for their age.
I have hope for our grandmothers. They are getting older and thier bodies are showing their age, but their personalities and attitudes are decades younger.
I have hope for my mom that she will lose the weight she wants to and soon start dating again. We all love her so much, but now as a mother and wife I know that the love from a child and partner are different in thier own.
I have hope for his dad.
I have hope for our siblings that they will be happy in all their choices they make this year.
I have hope for his best friend to get the job and pay he deserves. I know last year he took a large pay decrease to work at hubby's civilian job.
I hope that my friend will find herself this year.
I have hope that others will come to term with what they are dealt and make the most of the choices they have left.
I have hope.
