I am SO far behind in updating my blog. I have been in the process of switching photos and docs over to my new computer for months. I just came across some photos of the girls from about 2 years ago. They have grown so much since these were taken. :(
One of the only things that hasn't changed is the look that Camille is making. LOL
I miss the chubby cheeks that start to go away as they get older. 
On another note, it is starting to hit home that Jordan will be gone for much of the school year. He is currently at sea for a few weeks and will be deploying on Nov 14th until June 22nd. Mind you, these dates can and probably will change. But I am flexible, right? Uh, not!
Jordan emailed me his schedule last week and sadly he will be out at sea getting ready for his deployment for 8 of the remaining 13 weeks until Nov. 14th :(

I have always been a very independent person who really doesn't mind being alone. In fact, the more I talk to others and the older I get I have realized I like to be alone more than most women. Lots of things have been going on lately that have left me emotionally drained and at times feeling defeated. I didn't realize how much I needed Jordan to be around for support, until reality hit that he wasn't around or will be around while I am sure I will continue to have to deal with these same issues. You don't often here me say, "I can't (do/handle) this....," but these words have come to mind and out of my mouth more times than I'd like to admit these last few weeks. I have NO doubt I will be spending a lot of time on my knees this next year. What makes me the saddest is that the girls won't have their awesome daddy around!
p.s. This is what life has brought our way and it isn't that bad. We made choices in our lives and being in the Navy was one of those choices. Hopefully it will only make us stronger.......right?

My heart aches for you! I was totally bummed out learning that Jordan won't be here for most the school year. Thank goodness for skype and cell phones - right!? Know that I will be on my knees praying for you and your sweet family, too. I will be here to help in whatever way I can. Let's plan some temple trips, too. I think you are pretty amazing. Love you!
Well... it WILL make you stronger! Unless it makes you crazy like me! Haha! J/K You are amazing, and you will be great while he's gone. You'll be surprised at what you CAN do when you HAVE to do it. Heavenly Father knows what you need, and even more, He knows what the girls will need in the absence of their daddy and will provide a way for you to cope and fill in the gaps. AND... I'll always be here when you need a rescue... or even just someone to vent on. And I can listen without giving advice or comment... because I've been there and needed just an outlet. I'm with you, sister! One day we'll be out!! And then we'll have to pay our own malpractice insurance. Ugh!
