73 and counting....

I cant wait to get a hug from my son and DIL. It seems like so long ago, I hugged him bye at our hotel in CA. I tried to be strong and not cry, but the moment he said, well, I guess we need to go. I lost it. I hugged him and my daughter-in-law so tight and just cried. Even though we have been able to talk just about everyday via IM and myspace and email, it is still so hard knowing he is so far away and in a dangerous place. I know God will take care of him and watch over him.

77 days and counting

Yes, I am on a countdown till I get to see my son. Although, he actually leaves the sand pit on the 19th of March, it will take him about 3 weeks to get back to his home base and yes, I plan to be there and meet him the minute he steps off that plane. It seems like it has been forever since he has been gone... I cant wait to see him and hug his neck.

Working hard, LOL.

Another call from Brock

LOL, but he wanted to talk to his dad. His friend had some questions about a knife purchase and my husband collects knives so... I get to talk to him all the time during the week and on weekends, so I was fine with it. I cant wait for him to come home. Cant wait to give him a big hug.

Brock after a hard day's work

Brock called me this morning. What a great way to start the day! He is doing well and sounded great. I sent him a care package yesterday. He wanted peanut butter, bread, body wash and some Crest White Strips. LOL - I hope the bread doesnt spoil before it gets there. I sent Wonder bread. I also sent him some orange slices, candy, pictures, etc... My husband bought this spooky thing to hang at Halloween and we made a "WE MISS YOU! WE LOVE YOU! sign and took a picture. Wish he could have been at home with us for Halloween!

Talked to Brock this morning

He sounded great. I really miss him so much and cant wait for him to come home. I am debating on what to do. He has to stay 2 weeks where he is stationed in CA after getting back from Iraq before he can come home on leave. I dont think I will wait those 2 additional weeks. I believe I will meet his plane when it lands in CA, his return flight from Iraq! I have been lucky to see him via webcam quite a bit and also talk to him nearly every day via messenger. I am so proud of him!!
