And so it begins

Six months and counting. It can't come soon enough. Being apart is just one part of the sacrifices Ben and I make to support and defend this country. It doesn't get easier. Having to leave Tabitha makes it much harder. Everyday she changes. I will do my best to make sure Ben gets to experience what I get to by this blog, videos, skype, and anything else I can think of. I know it isn't the same. I know it must be hard being away. I miss Ben already, and he has only been gone 9 hours. He is my best friend and the most amazing husband and father. I really am blessed to have him. Tabitha is blessed to have him. And so it begins, a new adventure. One I will be happy to end in February, when I get my best friend back.
