I don't know if anyone ever read this, but I wanted to post. I started this to keep updated on what we were dealing with being so far away from our families and to help me deal with yet another deployment. Once he returned from his last tour, I kind of put off doing anything else with this blog:( We are currently starting deployment number 4. This time to a new place for all of us, but also for a shorter time so maybe that will make the time a little easier. Being apart from the unit is making things a lot harder then what I had thought they would be. While I am happy about all the families that have their soldiers home or about to come home, it is hard knowing that there are not others starting the same deployment as me right now. So it has almost been harder. Guess it does not help that I have been a single parent since the end of July either, but it's really tough. We are all hanging in there as best we can. Both girls are doing well with daddy being away but miss him greatly. Trinity has started making all kinds of pictures for himi and wants to call him all the time. When he does get a chance to call, she does not want to talk to him much:) She is such a silly girl. So I will try to update with pictures and any info I get of Richard during this time for anyone that might actually read this. If not then it will be just for me to keep track of things going on for him to read when he gets home.
