Dustin block leave!

So today is Dustin's last day of work until sept 8th! This is called block leave! pretty much our last time with no work until he deploys.. looking like sometime after Oct 2... I am so glad that we get to have some family time.. If you dont know already, I'm so not mentally prepared for this deployment.. I know that we will survie with God's word and God's hands, for with out him I would be so lost and afraid. I know that God has his hand on me and my family and my husband. I will update you all on an offical date of deployment!

At night when I crawl into bed,
My lonely pillow 'neath my head,
I close my eyes and say a prayer."
God keep him safe way over there,
And make me strong so I won't cry.

It's kinda hard to be alone and teach the kids when they're half grown,
without the strength of a father's handto guide them in this troubled land.
So I'll need a little help from you,to let me know what I should do.
And God please will you let him know,
How much we love and miss him so.

And then I feel across the bed,
To where he used to lay his head,
and I close my eyes so very tight,
so I won't cry again tonight,and whisper to the evening air,"Good night my darling way over there."
