Andy and Kiddos at send-off ceremony
.....We dropped Andy off this morning. We had an absolutely wonderful (WHIRLWIND!) week, and I am looking forward to some much needed REST this weekend. I am doing okay, I suppose- alot better than I was earlier this morning. I know that I have to be strong (even though I DON'T feel like it!), and that there are lots of other women and families going through this with me! Frankly, I am quite glad that that the "deployment clock" started ticking away this morning. Every day is one day closer to him being home! I am so thankful to have all of my family so close, and will have lots of company! Here are some pics from this week's adventures...
Happy Saturday and
Much Love,
Jennifer

I'll be praying for safety for your husband and that the Lord will watch over you and your children while Andy is away. I hope the time goes by *very* quickly for you all.
I hope the time goes by quickly! You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. (o:
Praying for your husband your sweet family. Praying that the time flies by.
I just prayed for your precious family. Be strong, and of a good courage!
I pray that it will go by quickly for you. I am glad you have family so close.
He'll be back before you know it and then it will be as if he had never left.
Love ya =]
I'll be praying for you! How long will he be gone?
I was wondering how long he will be gone too.
I will be praying the time goes quickly as well.
Praying that the time goes by very quickly for you!
Your family is just precious.
Jennifer, I have just lifted you and your family up in prayer. I am so happy that you have family around you as I know that will be of great comfort to you. Take care.
You'll be in my prayers too Jennifer. xxx
Andy will be gone approx. 7 mos. ICKY. Very, very thankful that it is not longer, however! Thanks so much to everyone for your sweet comments!
I have to say that despite how sad you must feel on the inside, you look fantastic on the outside!
You are all in my prayers!
Aww the pics are so precious! I will be praying for your safety and protection while Andy is away and for the kids to be extra extra good! ;) We're here for ya!
I so remember those days when my hubby was in the Navy and he had to leave on deployment. I remember it was hard...but how I also started that "clock ticking" as soon as he left, counting down the time!
I'll be praying for safety and for God's blessings on your family while he is away!
Mine is leaving VERY soon for a 7 month deployemnt too....so I feel for you...I'm sure we'll both get thru it ok...there'll be some hard times and some happy times...and some just plain Crazy times I'm sure!!....have you been thru many deployments? I've been thru a few....but this is the longest one...so far in 23 years of Navy life he's never done a 6+ month deployment before.....other wives have had to go thru this more than once...so I realize I've been lucky...
Hi! I just found your blog and wanted to let you know that if there is anything I can do to support your husband and his unit through our organization (eMailOurMilitary.org) let me know! It would be our pleasure. Anything we can do to help support our troops is a joy.
