How sad is that? The kids had to say goodbye to daddy for 24 days! And I had to say good bye to my husband and friend. He is off to California and we won’t see him again until we go there too. We have survived one entire day and one entire night. I’m sure by the time I have endured 20 days I will either be extremely anxious to have a husband and father again for the help, or I would have survived just fine? I’m not sure which one is going to be happening. I know that one huge blessing is that I have my family so close to me to help me endure the lonely times. It’s amazing though how much you take for granted of your spouse. I must give a giant compliment to my husband. He helps me so much, cooking, cleaning, reading books, laundry, shoveling snow off my car, driving in the snow, carrying Jacob up the stairs (his 20 lbs. plus the 7lbs of car seat is too heavy!), buckling the kids in the car, running errands, listening to me talk and talk, giving hugs to us all and so on and so on. Oh…we do miss you!
Jared and I were able to have one final date night before he left. It was fantastic to spend time together and celebrate both of our birthdays together since we will both be separated! We went to Christopher’s Steak and Seafood restaurant! It was heavenly. We then went to Enchanted, the movie. It was a silly, cute, and made you smile little love story.
The night before he left we had family and friends over to play Balderdash! It was a riot. We laughed and laughed until the night ended around midnight! We all said our goodbyes. Thank you too all of you who gave Jared his farewell gifts, cards, treats and goodies. I know he appreciated them so very much. Thank you to all who will continue to support us during the next two months. We will miss him so very much, but thanks to family who has little get-away vacations already planned for us, I feel that these next three weeks are going to fly by! (Just not at night for me! I will miss him too much!)
We love you Daddy…Enjoy learning and growing in your new experience. Especially enjoy NO snow in sunny California…He brought his mountain bike so he will not be lonely!!! Ha ha ha

holy cow, am I out of the loop or what!? It was really good to see you tonight, but I had no idea about any of these things going on in your life, like maybe moving, alayna breaking her arm, your baby getting sooo big (and cute and chubby), you went to Hawaii (did i tell you my brothers family is moving there?), geez, and how come Jared is in Ca? I can't wait for you to come over so I can teach you my scrapbooking ways! :) Talk to ya later!
