Another Holiday we have to spend away from daddy... Yet,
I feel very sad that we will not be with daddy tomorrow , I am very blessed that we will get to spend it with my mom and dad. This is going to be the first and last time we will get to in a long time. :) God is good!
I honestly did not think that it would hit me and make me sad to not be with Matt on Thanksgiving, Why I thought that I have no clue!? lol I guess I felt that we were always thankful for all the things we have and that it was just another day to us. Yet I see all the families together and my friends with their spouses and it makes me sad. To think just last year we were all a family and we went to Granny's house all together.
I guess i have to just be glad that we only have 7 more weeks and after the long long year that we have almost been through that should be nothing... like I said SHOULD be nothing yet it still feels like its going super duper slow at times.
Well here we go the things that I am thankful for...
I am so blessed and Thankful for my Lord and saviour ! He has blessed me with two wonderful boys and a Wonderful husband! I am so thankful for the three of them! They fill my life with lots of laughs and hugs and kisses and memories for a life time! They give me so much hope and pride.
I am thankful that I have gone through 10 months without my husband and Grew as a person spiritaly and emotionaly. I am so much stronger than I have ever been in my life.
I am thankful that God blessed us with this deployment in the fact that I needed to find him again in my life. I needed to get back to Church and praising our Lord and this is how he got me back! :) Also I needed to take a look at my marriage and see what I was doing to harm it. I am blessed that God is helping me to be a better wife to my husband!
I am thankful for my parents being able to share in the holidays with us and that Elliott is doing better. :) I am thankful that God put Elliotts mom back in to his life recently and all of his family! He is soo Good!
I am thankful for the friends that God has put in to my life. I love them all! :)
I am thankful for my mother in law who has helped me so oooo soo much throught this year!
I am thankful that God helped me appreciate so much and never take advantage of the little things we have in life!
Happy Thanksgiving!

ALmost a week
It has almost been a week since Matt left... and I have to say this time was so much easier. I cried but not too bad and I still get teary eyed... but I am still strong. I keep telling myself its only two months Melissa and it helps me get through!
So much is going on here at the house so much stress but I am so blessed that God has strengthen me and helped me get through all of it. Pretty soon we will be debt free and Matt will be home and we will be a family once again.
It's almost Thanksgiving. Then Black friday .. :) Then sooner than we know it, it will be Christmas. Then New year and then soon after Daddy will be home! :)
61 days to go!

I actually wrote this on November 14th but did not get a chance to post it....
Matt just left today after a fun filled awesome 2 weeks with us! We had a nice halloween with a haunted house inthe garage. Bry was a blues hockey player and Alex was a Vampire. We drove all the way to florida and got on a Royal carribean cruise to the bahamas. It was really really nice there.
Alex and I picked up Matt at the airport. that was pretty AWESOME. We met him at the gate, Alex ran to his daddy and gave him big hugs on the floor!! Then I went down to my knees and hugged the both of them for like 2 minutes! It was something I will never ever forget! Then Matt went to surpise Bryan at his School, KSDK was there they heard that Matt was going to be coming home and doing the suprise and wanted to be apart of it! I still cry to when I see the video! I was so so so nervous the day Matt came home. I have no idea why I was nervous I guess all the time away I wondered if we would all be the same together. As soon as we got together it was like he never ever left we all clicked and were a family once again!
Today I have to say was hard. I felt that I was not strong enough to take Matt to the Airport so we took him to the Metro. I cried the whole way to the Metro and after his last hug and kiss ! Then cried when we got home. House felt so quiet and lonely! Its werid to think a house can feel quiet and lonely with two toddlers! We spent two whole weeks always together, so it was hard to all of a sudden just not have him around. We have been praying and praying today! Praying for Strength for all 4 of us! Today went by slow but I have to say not as slow as Jan 18th 2010 did! We have about 9 weeks till he comes back so I pray God Gets us through and also gives us all strength each and every day.
I am so blessed to have a GREAT husband like him and I cant wait to hug and kiss him again and go live our happily ever after in Hawaii! Let the Countdown begin 67 days!

R&R
Matt is on his leave right now. So he is finally home after 9 1/2 months
I have to say being at the airport with him was awesome.....
I have missed him so much. I was so nervous to get him and it seemed like everything was
the same as before he left
we go on our cruise in a few days and I am excited for that we have never been to the bahamas or on a big vacation like that
I am so blessed to have him safe in our home
I am sad that he is leaving again soon but we are blessed to only have 2 months after that left then we can start getting ready for Hawaii
I have to say that before he got here i was a bunch of nerves the whole week prior I cried a lot and I was so nervous that things would be so different and so chaotic and you know its been so great
I am feeling a little sad about the fact that he is leaving in 13 days but I am trying to see it as we have 13 more wonderful days with daddy
I look at the way things are and I think how the heck did I do it for this long with out him and how the heck am I going to do this again with him gone
It scares me but I know that my faith in our Lord will get me through and keep me
