My husband and I are now halfway through our first deployment. it has been going by very slow. When my husband first left, a friend, whose husband is also deployed, told me "the days go by slow but the months go by fast". Boy was she right. The days go by a lot slower than I wish they did. But somehow we're both making it. I thought that once we hit the halfway mark things would go by faster. But for some reason it seems to go slower. I know that once we're together again it will seem as though we have never been apart. And that's what I'm holding onto to keep me going. I'm so glad that this is not our first time apart. I feel that makes it a little easier then if we had never experienced being apart before.
I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life. Everyday I pray for comfort for my husband and I. Without it I feel I would be lost. In my life, church is a necessity. Without it I think I might go crazy. I'm having a wonderful time with my family. I'm so glad I have a great big family to keep me busy and keep my mind off of my husband. I'm very grateful for them.
