It's hard to watch that bus roll away with half of your everything on it....

So my soldier as well as numerous other soldiers headed to Afghanistan this weekend. It was a very chaotic day, and I'm glad my red headed sister didn't beat up a gate officer, nor did I break down and try to throw myself in front of the bus carrying my soldier away from me for a year.

This is Anthony's third deployment, but it is our first deployment together. He and I both knew that this one was going to be extra difficult. Not just because we are going to be thousands of miles apart, but because there are numerous people who are going to be missing him and worrying about him right along with me, including Baby MG!

My sisters and Mom made awesome homemade pride shirts. They were awesome! I was so impressed, and I think deep down Anthony was too!

We started the morning at where else but IHOP? My husband LOVES some IHOP!!!

Then it was off to Fort Campbell, the drive there seemed like it took 5 minutes instead of the usual hour and five minutes. The soldiers had to line up a bunch of times, do a roll call about five or six times, and the flight got delayed, so command gave us the extra few hours to spend with our families. What a great decision for who ever makes the decision, we got to have dinner with a big group before the soldiers had to say their final "I'll see ya's"
