Cold Days, Colder Nights

I am new at this.. so bare with me here.

 

 

As of today, my husband has been at Basic Training for two weeks. Can't say that I don't miss him like hell.

I know that everything is going to be moving forward for us instead of going two steps back but the waiting is the hard part. I heard a quote the other day that said, "She who waits also serves." I'm sure I'll be able to relate to that a lot later when he gets deployed or what not.

The only hard part next to the waiting, is being without him the same time of year as last year..The season just changed and I don't think the days have been any colder. I am not the kind of person who gets cold very easily, but I have been this fall. It's hard not having that God-made heater next to you under a hand-sewn quilt.

Even though I'm having a few cold days, and quite a bit more colder nights, in the end, it's all going to be worth the shivering.

He left that day as a boy, and I know for sure he's going to come home a Mann.

A Mann of hopes and dreams being accomplished, a Mann who is going to be the best Father a kid could ask for, A Mann who is going to be the husband some women wish they had, A Mann of character and strength.

I don't mind using an extra blanket or breaking my promise of not wearing socks to bed, as long as on December 20th, I'll have the Mann of my dreams all to myself.

 

I'm going to stay strong not only for him and my son, but for myself as well.

 

You're only as strong as you will yourself to be, and I'm bringing on the strength.

 

Tomorrow, things will be a filled with a little less sap, but with a lot more inspiration.

 

Hope you'll keep reading,
