Nick is leaving for 12 weeks of Officer Candidate School tomorrow.
People keep asking, "Are you getting sad?"
YES. Quite sad, and nervous, and determined to get everything cleaned and organized, for some strange reason.
It's like nesting, but not. No really, I'm NOT.
It must just be the way I deal with stress. That and eating chocolatey things.
I'm so glad that OCS was postponed until now so that we could have the summer together. Danny has changed a lot in the last three months, and I'm so SO glad Nick has been here for it. It will be fun keeping him updated through letters about all the new words and cute things Danny learns.
Last night we had a little goodbye dinner at Nick's parents house, and I asked Jordan to take a few pictures of us.
We're not dressed up, and none of them are perfect, but I think that's why I love them so much!
Thanks Jordan : ).
Danny really didn't want to hold still.
Almost got away!
Aww, there we go.
Danny pulling my hair (as usual).
Bubbles! Or "bubboes!" as Danny would say.
Last try.
Like I said, not perfect, but pretty cute!
Danny with his "Dadda."
I asked Nick if I could take him to Portland tomorrow. I just want one more day with him. It's been a busy week for Nick getting packed, filling out paper work, studying, and EVERYTHING it takes to get ready. We haven't had a lot of time to ourselves, so I'm looking forward to the drive with him! Saturday morning I'll drop him off at the air port and drive home by myself. I usually try to avoid long drives alone, but four hours of driving and being able to cry as much as I want sounds kinda nice. I don't like to cry in front of people.
Boy I will miss him.
I'm not sure what to say when Danny asks, "where's dadda?" He always says that when Nick isn't in the room. It sooooo sweet. I know we are going to be ok though. I've felt at peace inside about this for a long time now.
Well that's all I have to say about that right now : ). Wish us luck, and any prayers you would like to send our way would be very welcome!

sarah your little family is so sweet and good looking ;) I miss your sweet face! Good luck for the next 3 months. I know it will be hard, but so worth it to get where you want to go. Hopefully he's a good phone talker and you can skype! But it still stinks to be apart. So yeah. Good luck :)
