Eric's gone

We drove Eric to the hotel for him to ship out tonight. I tried by best to keep from crying too much, and Eric forced himself to go check in so I guess it went successfully. Even though we knew this day was coming, it really sucks. I miss him already and he hasn't even left the state yet! It's hard to imagine what these next 6 months are going to be like without him, but I guess we just go one day at a time.

It is not going to be the easiest thing you have ever done Kristina, but you will be amazed how quickly 6 months will pass while you are busy doing other things. Your sweet little darlings will see to it that your days pass quickly. We love you! You are in our prayers...daily! Can't wait to see you! :) Mom & Dad

I know it'll go fast. I've made a list of goals I want to accomplish while he's gone, and I've got a little "pep talk" taped to my bathroom mirror. I slept better last night than I expected to and the kids seem to understand why daddy's not here. I still haven't heard if he made it to Arkansas yet or not, but after I know his plane made it I'll be a little less tense.
