Daddy...Our Soldier

I was going through some pictures on and i found these! I am so proud of this soldier of mine, and so greatful that he is all mine for ever and ever! He is the best daddy in the world, and I know he is dying to get home and hold his babies! I can't imagine what he must be going through and how he must feel! When i see pictures like these, they pretty much bring me to tears! i don't know why, but they do, and I get a little feeling of emptyness! I cant wait till we get to hold daddy again and have him meet his son for the first time! Its going to be one of those days we will never forget! And its so close...only about 6 more weeks! We are so excited and can't believe we are almost done and have survived another deployment! Hopefully we won't have to ever endure one again! I am thankful for this trial though, it has taught me alot about what i want in life, and i think it has taught me alot about being a mother and appreciating your spouse! I really think i needed that, cuz before he left, i took alot of things for granted! This was a huge wake up call for me, and to be honest, I think everyone needs to experience a little fraction of something like this, we'd all appreciate our spouses more, and not take so much for granted! Luke you are the best daddy i could ask for, for these kids, even when you are away! And I couldn't ask for a more dedicated and loving, understanding husband! You are amazing and I totally look up to you for what you are doing and going through! Cuz as hard as it is on my end...I could never be on your end! Thank you so much for supporting us and doing what it takes to make sure we are safe and happy! We love you so much! and i must say, you do make one good looking soldier :)
