And then it was Over...

As I've said so many times, this three years has been an amazing time for our family. The kids have really gotten to form relationships with Daddy, and in turn, he has seen that we are actually pretty cool to spend time with.

The kids and I have another year and a half here in our wonderland, but our time as a family here is over. I am so sad...and it isn't really about the deployment. I am ok with that (the first time in my life I have ever been able to say that!!) But, I am so sad that this is over. The whole time, I knew that it wasn't forever. But, it was SO what I want out of life. It was my dream all my life to have a little family that was never apart--never had to say goodbye--never needed someone that wasn't around...that isn't to be, but for these three years I got to live it.

I wish I could say that it was not as great as I thought it would be, but that would not be true. It was great. And now it ends. I still love Army life and will be happy to get "home," but I will so miss this "domestication" that we've had here.

In the next few days I will post some pictures--I've been collecting them up, since I have had computer issues. They are random, since they go back a few "events" but I guess that is appropriate, since it is a wrap up for the end of this time...

I love my husband, and I am so proud of what he does--but I will so miss this "home every night" dad and husband...he was really good at it too.
