My Blake...

I cant believe that it is already May. Monday we go to our pre deployment briefing! It makes me so sad to think about Blake deploying. I know that he is fighting for my freedom and I know that he loves being a sniper! I think he believes he has the best job in the Army. It crazy to think that in August Blake and I will be married for 2 years, but he wont be here to share that with me. I cant imagine not being with him for my birthday, or Thanksgiving, or Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day, his birthday and all the rest of the holidays! I cant imagine how things will be without him for a year! I cant wrap my head around us not being together for that long! People change so much in a year and to think that we will be a year older when he returns home is hard. I appreciate Blake so much! He is the most kind hearted person that I know. And he is so excited about going to Afghanistan. I want him to go because I know how pumped he is but on the other hand I have that wife mentality that it just isn't fair. Why does he have to go? I knew what I was signing up for when Blake asked me to marry him and I have to take on the roll of the military wife, not a civilian wife! Times are hard when your married to a military man but even though I will have to be away from him for a year I wouldn't have it any other way. All I can do is look to the Lord and my friends and family for the support that I will need for that year. I love and appreciate my Blake so much! I love you baby!

The Update for the Summer

Blake left for Yakima today for 10 days. He will get back May 16th. Then on May 18th we have a Pre-Deployment Briefing where we will hear whats going on for their deployment. So hopefully we will have information for everyone when we come home to Alabama and Missouri. So the big question is when are we coming home?? Well today we found out that our dates will be changing. So we will be in Missouri the last week of May and the first week of June. This can change!!! Don't forget we are with the Army. We hope to see everyone while we are there. I think the only Saturday and Sunday that we will be in Missouri is May 30th and 31st. So we cannot wait to see everyone! After that week in Missouri we will go to Alabama. We plan on having a pool party at my parents house and we hope to see everyone while we are there.

Ok so i know everyone is wondering about Blake's deployment. So far we have heard that he is deploying July 14th. But this could change to July 6th. Last month the date was July 6th. So we are just saying sometime in the first two weeks of July. Blake is excited and cant wait to get over there. I will be going home and hopefully finish school! On May 18th they said that we might get the address to where Blake will be in Afghanistan. So if we do find I out I will let you know when we come home. So i think that is about all i have for right now! Cant wait to see everyone!! We love you!
