Keep it together Shelbie
It's wicked cold outside today, like 23 degrees with a wind chill to make it feel like 5 degrees. BrrRR! I still love this time of year especially since Christmas is only a week and a half away. As I try to enjoy this season, I have Logan on my mind. Next year this time, he will be back in Iraq (as if the man hasn't seen that damned placed enough) and alone, without his wife and boys to keep him in good spirits. I feel absolutely guilty. GUILTY that we get to be with all the ones who love us, spending time with my boys who have seen deployments before but don't think too much about it because Grandma and Papa are so busy loving them, along with Aunt Shaunna and Aunt Cherish who adore them. Why is this so unfair? Logan is one of the strongest men I know. He hurts but doesn't show it. He is scared and I wouldn't know it by the way he hides his feelings. So, here we are once again, T-minus 30 days and the love of my life will be half way across the world for an absurd amount of time. I guess the one thing I can look forward to is the feeling of his embrace when he returns. The falling in love all over again. The reconnection between a man and his children. Us together again as one. Bare with me ya'll, you are coming along with me on this crazy journey that's called DEPLOYMENT. Argh.

My heart truely aches for you, your boys and Logan. It is all so unfortunate. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. For strength & patience.
Oh Shelbie I know the feeling, is so heart breaking to know that important dates your other half will be alone. Although, I believe that we are bless because we have technology to our advantage. Just imagine how deployment were during previous wars. Logan will have access to internet and phone to speak to you and the kids. I know is not the same but we are army wives and we have to make things work. You hang on, and I know Logan will be home safe and sound in a blick of an eye.. :)
