It's Official...

Maybe the ship hasn't actually left port yet, but as far as we're concerned...he's gone. Today has been a day full of lots of love and emotion. It doesn't get any easier to say goodbye. You'd think that after being apart for 8 months the last time, 5 would seem like a breeze...it doesn't and it probably won't. The only thing we know is that our God is bigger than any deployment...and our love has withstood so much already, this can only make us stronger.

Alana loving on Daddy when he got home from work today

Does he think he's gonna be gone for a while?
Look at all this stuff?
Maybe if I sit on it he'll take me with him...

My two favorite people.

Alana is getting better at her photography skills

Gotta make those last minute phone calls!

Portas Love

And some more...

No Wii for 5 months either haha.

Beary can make it all better...

And if not, Daddy's kisses will...

It's ok, baby...Cry your heart out!

Cuddle times

Sweet dreams, Daddy.

I'd like to say I was all strong and tough today...but that would be a lie. I cleaned and did laundry til there was no more in sight...and then I did other useless stuff like play the wii to keep my mind off of Justin leaving. It didn't work. None of it. Wanna know why? Because Justin is my heart and the love of my life...He might be gone in the flesh but he is with me in spirit.

I love you, baby...We miss you already xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Peace, Love and Lonely Girls
