So it's almost the middle of November and it's bittersweet for me. Soon it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas and we get to celebrate both in Texas! yay, but...Patrick also deploys at the end of November. I am starting to get sad, nervous, and worried. I know Lillie is going to ask me everyday where daddy is. Ugh, that makes me sick. I know he is so sad to leave Lillie at Christmas time when she is so excited . When he gets back Hallie will be almost 1!! Plus, i am scared to death to be a single mom with no family nearby for 5 months! I talk to a lot of wives here that have had husbands deploy numerous times and they say ut never gets easy. You never get used to your husband being gone for that long-Never! I was talking to a Lt. Col's wife today and this is about the 7th or 8th time her husband has deployed, she actually walked out of the gym today to cry...sigh...I was thinking, man if this lady gets upet, I'm gonna be a disaster! I sure hope someone will come visit me while he is deployed :(
For those who are wondering about him, he will be going to Japan and then on a ship for a month and then on land for a bit and then back to a ship. I believe when he is on a ship he won't be able to talk to us until he gets to land.
I will update my blog more often when he is gone to keep you posted on what's going on with him.

Hey, you have family just up the road! (Ok, it's pretty far but in the same state anyway). We'll try to come visit you after New Years!
Aww, Kath! I'm not going to say it will be fine, but we are always here for you! We love you! I was talking to the kids today about Patrick. They couldn't believe it. We sure appreciate all his sacrifice and yours for the rest of us! He is a true hero as are the military families! I sure hope I can figure out how/when to come stay...
I'm sure that will be really difficult, Kathy - but I know you'll just keep figuring it out as you go! I agree, Liz - you are all heroes in my book!
We will pray for you and come visit if at all possible!
