It's coming too fast..

The D word...deployment...(I don't like to say it loud) This past weekend was one of Drew's last weekend's to just be able to be home with us. His mom and step dad, both sisters and husbands, and the boys came. We all watched Hannah play soccer Saturday and then just hung out and ate lunch and visited. We ate again at the Mermaid Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed it...just being together felt really good. In some ways, I look at deployment as a blessing...just because it makes you take a good hard look at your marriage..it makes you realize how precious the time is that you have together and that you shouldn't waste a single minute of it..don't fuss about crumbs in a drawer or how "wrong" one of you makes cornbread (if that's possible)Just cling to the knowledge that God placed the two of you together in His grand scheme of things to love and enjoy one another....so if you haven't told your spouse that you love them today...I suggest that TODAY..you tell them how very much you love them...and start appreciating the little things. If there is a movie you want to see together..go see it! Don't wait for the dvd! Go fishin' together..take time to really listen to each other.
