Aug 2010

Where to begin, well James left for his year long deployment July 29,2010. I can tell Ian already misses him, he has been getting angry and bossy lately. This deployment already seems endless to me so I don't what I am going to do in a few months when it really sinks in. I haven't spoken to James in about 3 days so I'm not sure where he is right now or what he's doing. Sitting and waiting really sucks, yes I can find things to busy myself but nothing keeps me busy enough to not think about him.

I am going to try to keep this blog as up to date as I can with where James is and what he is doing. It will be a good reference for people to go back to. This will be an easier way to keep everyone in the loop.

My guess is James made it to Kandahar, Afghanistan which is why I haven't heard from him. His computer is also being shipped to him so he should be receiving in the next week or so.

Thank you all for your prayers,

Amanda

WOW

So I realized I haven't updated the blog in a really long time. We now currently live in California where we bought a house. James is living in Colorado where he is stationed because he deploys in July to Afghanistan(subject to change whenever the army decides) he will be there a year. He will get a month vacation before he leaves and I cant be happier. Ian and I are driving to Colorado in a few days for a week or so to visit.
As for life in California it's different then I imagined I love being neat family but I miss my husband. He is my other half and it's weird to know that he is leaving out of the country. Ian and I are going to miss him so much.
Ian is going to be four in August and I am so excited I cant believe how big he is. I think I need to start looking for a preschool for him.
That is the latest on The Smith Family.
Love,
Amanda
