We're less than a week until Will leaves for his third deployment and it's finally starting to sink in that this is really happening. Again. The thing with this deployment is that nothing is the same as his other two. He's going to Afghanistan instead of Iraq. We're an hour away from family instead of a 10 hour plane ride away. Oh, and the biggie- Alison. She makes this a whole new ballgame that scares the hell out of me. It's one thing for me to miss Will and know that he'll be back. But she's only 3 years old. How on Earth do you explain to your preschooler that the most important man in her life is going to be gone for a whole year? I have no idea but I'm going to make this year fun and exciting for her and this blog is going to be my way of keeping track of it for Will.
I've decided to set some goals for this year. Here they are (at least the ones I've already come up with!)
1. Do one BIG fun thing a month (not including holidays).
2. Take at least one picture of Alison every day.
3. Blog here at least 2-3 times a week.
So this is just the beginning. I'm looking forward to a year from now when I post a picture of my 4 year old little girl hugging her Daddy.
