Drew left for Afghanistan tonight. I already miss him a whole bunch, but I'm so proud of him, know that the Lord is taking care of him, and hope that the time will just fly by. It was really nice that today was St. Patrick's Day (Happy St. Patty's Day!) so that I could have some distraction to take my mind off of Drew leaving. My friend Erin had a wonderful Irish party, complete with delicious corned beef & soothing Irish coffee for this rainy Saturday. It was wonderful to be around a bunch of wonderful people & I'm so thankful for that!
Now our 210 day countdown begins until Drew returns. We are both kind of glad that he's on his way over to Afghanistan now so that he begun his deployment and now we can just focus on him getting back. It was hard having him gone in training for so long and knowing that it was just the first step on his journey. We will miss not being able to talk on the phone and text each other, but we are both hoping that he will have good internet access & that we can skype occasionally. Thank you all for your love & support. It means the world to us. We are so lucky to have each other, and to have such supportive family and friends.
