Well, the day finally came:/ We sent Thomas off to Iraq yesterday!
This is his second tour over seas. He did 3 months in Afghanistan at the end of 2006and will do anywhere from 3-6 months in Iraq this time! We are so proud to call him husband and daddy-to-be!
The deployment kind of snuck up on us this time because of the holidays so I really don't even think that it has hit me yet... But I got the call this afternoon that they made it there safely and that I should hear from him tonight or tomorrow!
The picture to the right was just something that I wanted to have. I made him set the timer on the camera and prop it up on his bags so we could get the shot. It's "Daddy kissing baby goodbye"... that's kind of the idea I wanted to have to show little Baby Whitten someday!
Last night was pretty restless for me, I don't really like sleeping alone... although having the whole bed to myself is pretty nice! But I'm planning on putting an IPOD dock in there so I can listen to music or something to help me to not feel so alone at night! So we shall see how that goes!!
I'll try and keep you all updated on how Thomas is doing and let you know if anything changes! Please keep him in your prayers... It's tough to be so far away from home especially right now... But he is doing it with pride and will be home before we know it!!
