can't wait

i can't believe how fast things have been going lately.  it has been over six months since eric left.  it has been about five months that i have been doing this photography thing.  i have had eight clients in the past four weeks.  crazy.  i am so thankful for the opportunity to do this, i just hope that i capture them the way that they see themselves.  sometimes i can't believe all that has happened since eric last deployed.  kadence stuck herself in the back of the throat with a pencil resulting in a hospital stay, ty potty trained himself, kambel learned how to write her name - in order, we traveled to alabama (twice) and to illinois, went to the beach, went to the theater to see beauty and the beast live, kadence started first grade, kambel the 'four year old classroom' and ty the two's, ty can point out the letter "T" - but calls it a "T Y", if he sees it in a stop sign he says "look a "T Y"", both girls completed a season of t-ball, we helped launch our new classes for k-5 at church, trained for a marathon, cried about running the marathon, and even thought about getting a cat.  ya right.  it sucks that our lives have to go on without eric here.  as much as i say it sucks it has to down right hurt for him.  he was to leave home for r&r the 25th of nov.  well they moved it to the 21st of nov!!!  he should have a few days of travel, but will be home before thanksgiving... amazing!! got the turkey today!  the kids don't know that he is coming earlier than our m&m jar counting technique, it will be so stinking amazing if we can surprise them!! especially if we are to pick them up from school... may have to call in the camera crews! just kidding... i will record it though!!!  anyway, just thinking that soon our hero will be home and i can't wait!
