Here we go again...

Well it is beginning to sink in after these weeks of not knowing and thinking maybe we would dodge the bullet it is happening. Corby has been called up to go to Afghanistan. He will train here for a month and then he goes to Fort Lewis Washington,that is the state of Washington. He will be there a couple of months and then off to Afghanistan. He will be back March of 2009. I have been praying for the right thing to happen and I am sure this is the right time for our family it still doesn't change the fact that I will be lonely. I am not sure if this is the right venue for me to whine and be honest or if I should just put a brave face on it all the time. Well today has been hard it is grey outside and I don't feel real good and so that makes it worse. I need to give myself time to process and not be hard on myself. I have the most wonderful friends and ward and I shall not want for anything I will just miss my precious husband who is everything to me. I am so blessed and spoiled he is always so good to me and I hate it when he is gone too long. I do however believe in what he is doing and know how much he loves doing it. I will support him and start thinking about all the things I will do to make the time go faster. I am surrounded by such wonderful people and I am grateful for their words of support that I have already recieved. Corby starts out at Camp Williams on tuesday.

I believe it is absolutely okay to whine and if you are not comfortable I am happy to do enough of it for both of us!! We are heartsick even though we know that Corby and you believe it is the right timing, we will still all miss him so much! We love you all and are sorry that you are going to be without him, we will try to help fill the void as much as we can. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

No matter how good the neighbors are or the ward is, there will be a void in your life and your heart. The emotional support that a dear companion can give you is hard to replace, but people do love and support you and your family. You will need to let us know when you need us. And whine as much as you want. I think it is perfectly acceptable. And those nights when you can't sleep there's nothing like a good worthless computer game to take your mind elsewhere. Our love and our prayers are with you and your family.

Oh, I had no idea, I've been out of the Draper loop. You are so brave and you are right, you should NOT be so hard on yourself because you are wonderful. I always feel so good when I'm around you. Keep us posted... I'm going to add your blog to mine :) Loves!
