Top 10 Things I'm Looking Forward To
10.) A day off of parenting without calling for someone to watch Braelyn.
9.) No more worrying.Were the missions successful? How's everyone feeling? Is everyone okay? How's Heath? Is he stressed? Is there anything I can send to make him feel the love of home?
Yup, no more worrying.
8.) No more weekly trips to the post office.
7.) Not feeling guilty for taking time to myself.
6.) Hugs & kisses
5.) Sending someone else to the grocery store if I don't have what I need.
4.) Sending a man to the "man" stores. Sorry Campbells and ProBuild and True Value and Lake Area Vet. You will no longer see my face!
3.) Celebrating holidays as a family.
2.) Having a teammate again... taking turns cooking, cleaning, playing with Braelyn, bed time routine, etc.
1.) Family time! Church, riding bike, walks, runs, trips to SF, going to the lake or the park...
Bring on the last 10 weeks!

i can't imagine the daily burdens you've carried. we so often think only of the soldiers heavy load and forget that for the parent doing it alone here, the days are a challenge too. i know you...and know that you wouldn't have it any other way----in your own way, you've walked along beside heath by having these things to keep up here. i am certain that he would be very proud of the way you've carried yourself! a soldier of the home front :o)
Katie,
You said it all. We can get through these last 10 weeks!!
I can't wait to be a whole family again and not have the worries.
