My husband (who's home now) was a contractor in Iraq for only 98 days....it was aweful. I have SOOOO much respect for military families and their loved ones over seas! We have 3 children (the youngest who was 8 days old when my husband left) and we struggled so much during that time. We are all so grateful for you and the families like yours. We are praying for you. I love your blog and LOVE your ideas!! Keep it up! What a great way for you to stay busy! <br />With MUCH respect-<br />Katie ToombsKatie Toombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430657418575318811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188304203575190703.post-83920166284793696782010-06-27T01:43:25.241-07:002010-06-27T01:43:25.241-07:00We did chains, too!

I know how disappointing, frustrating, and just plain sad an extension to deployment can be. Though it's hard, I once heard something that I try to keep in my mind: "Semper Gumby" Always flexible.<br />God bless you!<br />AnnieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594786314320048371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188304203575190703.post-87548062328339405072010-05-04T15:08:37.662-07:002010-05-04T15:08:37.662-07:00Oh Amy, you have me in tears.

It's never final until they are on the plane over the ocean! My hubby's 2nd tour (first tour for me) he was gone exactly 1 year. His first tour they were gone 18 months or something crazy like that. It's hard & I just have to tell you that you are doing a wonderful job & I appreciate all the sacrifices all of you are making. Just know that I know exactly how you feel & I hope someday our hubby's don't have to deploy (or deploy so frequently!)Kristi @ Creative Kristihttp://www.creativekristi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188304203575190703.post-11486338055347926482010-05-03T16:15:27.292-07:002010-05-03T16:15:27.292-07:00Chin up, lovely Lady!

I'm just so happy for all of you that he now gets R&R! The anticipation of seeing and spending time with him then will surely help this next bit of time pass quickly.<br /><br />Your paper chain idea for the kids is a great idea! I wish I had thought to do that for Willem when Blue was gone!
