Times almost up!

ECK!!! Brian's time with us is almost up. He leaves Monday and oh my goodness, I'm sooo not ready for him to leave. I don't think any wife is ever truely ready for something like this.. if so there might be something wrong there. i haven't let it really sink in yet, I have been trying to take my mind off of it with watching movies and packing when I can. The belly is kind of making that difficult. I just don't want to have to raise Lexi by myself for the next while, you know? While being big time preggo... I don't want to be a burden on Carla and John either. They are just to kind, they have opened their house up to us and I just love them for that. I dread what damage my daughter might do to their beautiful new house. It's just sooo gorgeous and Lexi is kind of rambunkous! It's going to be difficult to have Brian gone, there is no way of getting around that. I just wish there was some other way to go about all this...

I can't imagine how hard it is for you to have to let him go for this time. I have never had to experience anything like that but my sister Verena has. Some things she used to do when it was getting time for her husband to leave again (he went to Iraq 3 times) she would buy a bottle of his cologne and spray it on her pillow every couples of days to remind her of his smell. They would also write a letter to each other that told the other how much they loved them and how amazing they thought the other was. Also remember Heavenly Father he has an amazing gift for comforting! I pray it will all go well.
Love ya

Thanks JoAnna! That is a great idea about the cologne, but Brian doesn't use cologne... the only things that he uses that smells is his deoderent. What should I do with that? haha just keep it open next to the bed? hehe Yeah I plan to write him a LOT! And maybe that is a lesson I need to learn is that Heavenly can help me through this if I ask! Miss you guys!

It will be touch, but Joanna gave some good advice too. Thank goodness you have some family around to lean on too!
