NTC

Jay left for NTC on Friday. NTC is a training center that they go to so that they can train up before deployment. Its been a rough couple days for me. I know that this is important so that they are all safe and prepared for the things that they might experience when they go to Iraq, but it's still tough because we can't talk or see each other for 30 days. I'm trying to not count down because it doesn't help, but it's still a little tough to not look at things that way. I decided that I am going to make some photo collages to hang up on the wall going to our upstairs to surprise him when he gets back. We had talked about making them, but we never got around to it, so I thought the next 30 days would be the perfect time to work on them. I think that he is really going to enjoy them. I'm not going to be home, most likely, when he sees them because I am going to Ohio for a couple days toward the end of his training and won't be home when he gets here. So, he will get a little surprise, if he notices them, when he gets back. It will be something good for me to keep my mind on. I feel like if the first week goes by then I will be ok, but I will have home to look forward to and Jay coming home. I just gotta hang in there, and support what he is doing. I am with him because of who he is, not because of his job. I will support him in everything, so I just gotta hang in there!

Lily resting this morning. She wasn't yet in the mood to get up and start her day :)
