Well....we're one week down!!! 51 to go!! Last week at this time we were saying our goodbyes.
Marc has been doing well. We talk just about every single night. Skype hasn't been cooperating with us since he's in an open squad bay and is sharing an internet connection with 30-40 other soldiers. So he really hasn't been online much -- maybe posting a picture or two before he loses the connection. If you've sent him a message on FB or an email, it may take him a bit to get back to you. He is hoping to start flying this week which will break up the monotony a bit.
The girls and I have been somewhat sequestered this week - snuggling, adjusting to Marc not being here. I did sign Danjela up for an art class which took up the mornings. I took Nadija to a drop-in preschool which she LOVES. And mommy got mornings to herself - which I used to clean up all the stuff Marc left behind in the garage and start some home improvement projects.
Nadija still doesn't quite understand that Daddy's away....always saying something that involves Daddy. I bought them both a special pen and notepad so that they can write to Daddy whenever we want. We've been saving them in our special box so that when we can mail stuff to him, it's ready to go.
Marc said that he did have an address there, but hasn't gotten it to me yet. As soon as I get it, I will pass it along. But please keep in mind that he's still in Ft. Hood and big care packages are not recommended because either the stuff will be shipped home, trashed, or left behind. He still has only his seabag to take with him and not a lot of room.
Until he leaves Ft. Hood, I'll try to update on a weekly basis (more if I hear any new information).
