1.11.14 | Steve set off in his Expedition for a deployment to Fort Hood in Texas. We have been getting things in order for this for a few months and the now time has come! Hopefully we are ready for the long haul.
1.12.14 | Steve's home away from home - a Holiday Inn room.
1.15.14 | Steve is still able to with homework via a phone call and FaceTime.
1.17.14 | Getting up early has probably been the hardest adjustment for me ... definitely still not a morning person.
1.20.14 | We stopped by Build-a-Bear to make army bears to snug with - the kids are missing having dad at home.
1.28.14 | 18 days after his departure - Steve was finally certified to be a doctor on the base!! I guess that is what "Army Time" looks like. This means the days actually start to count towards the '90 days' now. The inefficiency has caused me a lot of frustration and anxiety about how things are going to work out. On the bright side Connie is here helping us out - and we have gotten into a pretty good routine so hopefully now I can calm down a little.
