♥First week Blues

Andy is gone... he left on Thursday late night (Fri. in Guam). He was able to call me shortly before they left and I appreciated it so much. It really sucks not being there to support him and see him off. The only good thing is that he knows the kids and I will be there when he comes home. I am so excited for that.

♥ Here are a few random things on my mind ♥:
♥ I love that Adrian tells everyone that his daddy is on a submarine, and he is so proud.
♥ I love that when I put in the videos Andy made for the boys and Stevie and Jamie shriek and giggle and say da-da for like 20 minutes al the while waving at him and trying to kiss him. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
♥ I love how smiley baby Brennan is, you don't even have to try to make him smile and he grins from ear to ear.
♥ I love sunsets at the beach
♥ I love photography
♥ I love baby kisses
♥ I love snuggling my boys
♥ I love being Andy's wife!!!

Ok enough sappiness. Sorry about that. It's the normal first week withdrawl from being able to talk to Andy and hear his voice. I am looking forward to meeting him on the pier when the boat comes back in! Homecomings are AMAZING!!! I don't think I will ever forget these emotions, every time I see a boat going my heart breaks for the families enduring the separation. And every time I see a boat coming in it makes my heart soar to think that somewhere, families were getting ready to welcome their sailor back home. I have such an appreciation for the sacrifices that are made daily for MY freedom. How do I even begin to thank these people who are so selfless that they put their lives in danger for ME?

I am so thankful.
