Well, we are back to just me and the kids. Brian will be gone for the next two months on his last deployment EVER! I have so many different emotions, many different from patrols past but many the same. It is hard to believe that this is number 6 for us. We have done this SIX times! I guess that gives me a little reassurance that it will be over before I know it. My heart is broken for my sweet babies who lay asleep upstairs and have only a vague understanding that when they wake up their dad will be gone.
Now for the hard part, when the kids wake up! Just kidding we will all have a great time and make the best of the situation we are in. As I noticed the baby ticker count down is already to just 68 days, so I have much faith the time will go by faster then I even want it to. For those of you curious Brian will be home a few days before my due date. The boat decided a few weeks ago that due to “lack of manning” he will be making the whole patrol, and not be getting off for the baby. It will be close but either way I know that my Father in Heaven is watching over me. That He will make whatever comes bearable and that as a family everything will work out!
So, with that said I will wipe my tears, put on my big girl undies, and get ready for the next week that the kids have off school.
Brian we will miss you and are counting the days until we see you again.

It may sound corny, but I truly appreciate the sacrifice that you and your entire family make, on behalf of me, my family and the entire country. Thank you.
And, LAST ONE! At least every day you can count down towards the day he will be home to STAY!
Good luck and much love!
The time goes so fast...he'll be home before you know it!
