Days Seven, Eight, and Nine

Well the last few days have been busy.  I helped my friend move and I've been doing homework and running from here to there.  Life seems to be getting into a more normal routine since Chris left.  This is such a blessing it makes the days go by so much faster.  We are a week into this deployment and it doesn't seem like he has been gone that long.  I have slowly started picking things up for his first care package.  I ordered a ship to shore phone card so that he can call me while he is gone. 
My husband is a big banana freak not bananas but any banana flavored candy. lol  Today I want to the commissary and found a big bucket full of banana flavored laffy taffy.  I bought two of them to send to Chris.  He is gonna be so excited when he gets them.  Finding stuff like this that I know will make him excited really makes my day.  It helps ease the loneliness I feel when he is gone.
The kids are starting to get better about their Dad being gone.  Last night the baby told me "Daddy on boat in water, working".  It was so cute to finally have him realize why Daddy was gone.  Everyday is getting easier for all of us.


 Now matter how far he sails, we know he will always sail right back to us.  And he will always sail in our hearts.
