Well, here we go

Seeing that John had decided to create a blog about his deployment has inspired me to create my own about the experience. I see this as a way to not only deal with my feeling about the deployment, but also let John know what's going on around here while he's gone without having to directly tell him. I know that while he's gone he isn't going to want to hear about my bad days or how the kids act up at times and he's not always going to be able to talk or even want to, so here is where I can put everything and he can choose to read it or not or just read it all when he comes home. I can also use this as a tool to let everyone know what's going on while John is away and to let everyone know what I may need. So here goes one hell of a time the next year of my life will be.
