Just the gals...


So John left at 5 this morning for his two week drill..well i don't know why they call it that its really 16 days! Anyway, its just Bailey and I. She slept in her bassinet last night for basically the first time and John and i snuggled all night hoping today wouldn't come, but it did. He got up and kissed mCheck Spellinge goodbye and held me while i cryed (of course) and gave his sleeping baby a kiss and she gave him the sweetest smile which brought a tear to his eye. I know he's gonna miss his little girl so much.
As you laugh and say its only two weeks.. This is just the beginning of it all, next comes one month of active duty He'll be gone everyday in Richmond and home only at night. Then he leaves for a year...and this two weeks just means that deployment is coming and we cant stop it. Time is just flying by, as much as we want these next to weeks to fly after that i would prefer for time to stand still. It feels like our life as a family has just begun and suddenly coming to a stop. I know Bailey and will be living, loving and growing while he's gone but i almost rather just freeze time till he comes back. I dont want him to miss all the things he's going to miss. First Christmas, first word, first step and first birthday so many huge events that i know he would love to be apart of.
He's such an amazing husband and father. He's does anything and everything to keep us safe and happy and well taken care of. I love to watch him and see the way he looks at her and holds her with such love and joy, but the past few weeks theres also been a sadness in his eyes because he knows he has to leave her and that just breaks my heart. I know we can both be strong and get through this, there is no other option. John is the love of my life and i will wait for him forever.
