My hero...



We went to the deployment ceremony Thursday for my brother. He and 600+ soldiers are deploying to Kuwait. Their first stop was in Fort Hood, TX. This entire experience has been very hard for me. I just have this knot in the bottom of my stomach. I don't necessarily think that something bad is going to happen...but I'm very worried about him. They could be gone for up to 18 months.

Since I moved home, we've been able to spend some more time together. We always fought like crazy when we were growing up. Now, he's one of my best friends. I know I can tell him anything. Chris and Seth have really grown fond of Bub. Chris is pretty upset to see him go. I miss him terribly. I cry a lot...it's just so hard knowing he will be so far away, for so long. This deployment is harder to handle than the first one (2003) for some reason.

When they were getting ready to leave, he hugged us all and told us not to worry or cry for him...this is what he loves to do. He is my hero. I admire him for everything he has done and will do to help protect our freedoms!

I hope he knows that we love him and miss him so much!

I'm going home!!

I have things started now for my FL nursing license. I applied (and paid the $223.00 fee)...yikes! I am mailing my paperwork to the California Board of Nursing this morning so they can send FL a letter that verifies my license is legit. Now I'm just waiting for FL to mail me the fingerprinting cards so I can be printed here and send them back. Then...I wait...hopefully not too long though. I'm ready to go home.
