4 Months Down...2 to go!

Do I push all THREE of our vechicles off a cliff and go get this....?

I can not believe all three of the vehicles are down. First, the car has a fuel problem and dies every few feet. It also has a dead battery. Next, the tahoe leaves the kids and I stranded in town after the transmission gives out. Last, the truck just won't start. Are you kidding me? I was praying at least one vehicle would hold up until Brad gets home. Note to self, the next time the husband deploys, get a reliable vehicle before he leaves. Old vehicles don't do you much good if you can't keep them running. I'm going to try to figure out something by the end of the week.

4 months down and 2 to go. Oh, this deployment cannot come to an end fast enough! I'm getting tired of handling it ALL. I need my best friend here and partner to help out with all the daily things that pop up for our family. I was really optimistic this morning, too. Now, I feel really down and wondering how I will survive mentally for 8.5 more weeks!! Everyone is alive, healthy, and well. I really can't complain.

Spring family days is coming up this weekend. We will Easter egg hunt, fish and eat out at the golf course. On Sunday, we will go to church and brunch. Thank you Jesus for all you do for us!

In May, we are looking forward to meeting Mimi and Papaw for the weekend, wrapping up baseball, and the pool opening. At the end of May, we plan to make a paper chain for Brad's return and start preparing for his homecoming. Forever, folks would ask about Brad and ask how much longer. After I would give the answer, I would always get these sad looks and apologies. Now, folks perk up and say it is just around the corner.

We see a small light at the end of the tunnel. We are ready to have our loved one back with us.
