Deployment has started!!!!
For 2 months, the Major worked 3.5 hours away doing pre-deployment work and all of that time didn't count towards his deployment time.
But now, the clock OFFICIALLY started ticking!!! Woot! Woot!
I can do it....
I think.....
I hope...
I pray...

I'm feeling like the Little Engine That Could..."I think I can! I think I can!"
SO, on Saturday there was a deployment ceremony at a local church....
Nice little send off service....
Lots of our family came to support him...
Lots of our family came to support him...
They even gave the kids these soldier dolls that you can put a picture inside the face part....We call them our "Daddy Dolls", and the girls have since put a photo of their daddy in it....
...and slept with the doll every night since they got it...
She's only 3, but we've told her Daddy is going on a long trip....and she's not happy about it...
Taking a deep breath over here....
Hoping time passes quickly!
I think I can! I think I can!
