Sad but true

So today I found out Don has to stay about 2-3 weeks longer. OOHHHHH are you kidding. WE had it down week to week how long until he came back. Now that messes us all up. Every week Caleb writes down on our white board how long he has been gone and how long till he comes back. The most recent writing is 3 weeks down-------5 to go. But NOW it will be 3 weeks down 7/8 to go.

But there is something VERY cool that we were able to download for free. It is called Skype. We can see each other and talk to each other over the computer. The kids ABSOLUTELY love it. Now they want to do it all the time. Pretty crazy when you have five kids all around the computer trying to talk to dad at the same time. But it is so cool that he can see each of the kids and hear what they have to say to him. He showed them the room he is in and it is SMALL. But the kids loved the fact that Don has each of their pictures in a frame on top of his t.v. He made sure to show Rachel the seashell necklace he was wearing. She loved that. She doesn't remember very often to wear the other part of that necklace. I know that the kids really miss him and Rachel's typical thing at night is to say, "remember MOM. I miss daddy". And I reply with YES Rachel so do I.

I am very blessed to be married to a wonderful man. I am so grateful for you DON and the things we have gone through together. There have been many rough times as well and are now dealing with some new challenges in our family but what a blessing it is to have the gospel in our life to help us along this path. I LOVE you Don and I really miss you too. You are my best friend and always will be. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication in doing what you are doing. It has allowed me to stay home and be what I have always wanted to be---------A MOM.

Here is our song. LOVE YA.
