Week 1 Done!!!!!!

Yayyyyy! Week One of Deployment is Officially over!

This week was....

...Filled with text messages, facebook posts, and phone calls from friends and family! We are so lucky to have such supportive people in our lives! As Wyatt put this this evening..." it is humbling to have people you don't even know pray for you."

...Cleaning Cleaning Cleaning! My house has never been so clean. There is something relaxing and soothing about cleaning. Ranger on the other hand, who is afraid of the vacuum cleaner wasn't feeling the same. Dished are done... laundry is folded and put away!

...Paper Chain count down is up and running. Yes I did... I made one hundred and eighty one perfectly cut one inch strips and assembled them into a paper chain. Right now it is a little long but before I know it the chain will be gone and Wyatt will be home!

This weeks goals....

...Attend my workout class everyday this week. Last week I was four for four!

* They don't have class on Friday. :)

...figure out what I am going to get Wyatt for his Birthday. What do you get your boyfriend for his birthday while he is in Afghanistan? If anyone has ideas PLEASE send them my way! Another challenge is that even though his birthday isn't until September I have to get something in the mail soon if I want it to get there in time!

Week 1 done 25 to go!

Deployment

Well the day finally came. Wyatt had to leave last Sunday for Paktika, Afganistan. Below is a map of Afganistan because like most of yall I thought to myself " where the heck is Paktika?" It is located on the eastern part of Afganistan.

It is hard to believe he has only been gone for four days. It seems like months have passed. I try my best to stay busy. I have attended a workout class everyday this week and have taken Ranger to the dog park!


I have been lucky and have been able to talk to Wyatt everyday since he left in some way or another. Gchat, Email, Facebook, a broken but very appreciated skype session (it was so great to hear his voice and see his face).



We are so thankful for all the love and support from our friends and family. Everyone has been so kind.



As Wyatt heads into the field in the next couple of days please keep him in your prayers.

Here, There and Everywhere

So I really haven't been doing a good job of keeping up with this lately but that is only because I really haven't been home.

After Ranger School it seems like we have been Everywhere! You know just trying to get it all in!

So a recap of the last few weeks....

First there was a trip to the Farm

Then it was off to the Beach!

To the Lake with Wyatt's Friends for Memorial Day...
hints the American Flag Shirt :)

Jet Set to Orlando for Dudley's Wedding.

Then this past weekend we traveled south to Dothan to see my sweet friend Kaylee get married. It was a wonderful celebration and I couldn't be happier for her. I don't have any pictures at the time but as soon as I do I will post!
