A Moment of Truth...

I am sitting here at work looking outside wondering what happened to the weather. Yesterday my kids were in shorts, today we are in pants and long sleeves. My mind keeps drifting... I can't help but think that my husband is leaving next week for a good chunk of the summer. He is traveling to Egypt May 16th returning July 31st. This is the shortest time that he will have been gone..... and I am NOT pregnant this time. 2 little kids, working, and being a single mom for the next 10.5 weeks. This throws me back to the days of our engagement, when he was in Egypt for 6 months. I was planning a wedding, buying a house and starting a new job. I know that I will get through it and so will Zach. I am so grateful for the help of family. We are SO blessed to have so much family around, and everybody is so willing to help. It is simply hard to be apart. I don't look forward to the nights and being alone. It makes me REALLY appreciate the time that we do spend together as a family. I am SO appreciative of Zach and all that he does for me personally...and I can't help to mention that he is the BEST dad around. My little Kohen is going to miss him so much. They are best buds. I love to watch Zach play, and interact with our kids. He makes them laugh like nobody else can. Addi has him wrapped around her little finger. Needless to say, we will all miss him very much. On his end I know it is so much harder...other than he gets to golf every weekend. I am grateful for this opportunity that we have...Zach is racing through school and our kids have never been in daycare. I know we are getting close....maybe a couple more Egypt trips until all of us can come. Zach we will miss you and we LoVe you SO MUCH!!!! Thanks for all you do.
