I survived week 1

only 37 1/2 left before he comes home. :)
I feel like it's been a good week. Kids have been ok, I've been ok, house is good. However it has been a bit difficult. Starting the week 2 boys had coughs, finishing the week 3 do. Zander and has had it pretty rough but I think he is teething in addition to the cold and runny nose. Zavier puked one day this week but was most likely caused by coughing. However he was nice enough to do it in the car. As I love puke in my car. I made it to bible study on Wednesday but I don't even feel like I was really there because I spent all my time quieting Abbie and Zander.
Today is Tony's 27th birthday and he is again spending another birthday away. I miss him and I wish I could celebrate his birthday with him. However when he is home we never have anyone to keep the kids so we still don't do anything. But he and I both know we'll get our time together as a couple when our kids are grown or almost grown and he's able to retire in 12 years. ;)
This week also marked 8 years he's been in the military. He left Zachary and I on 4/28/04 to go to basic at Ft. Sill. It will be nice to see the whole month reflected on the May pay check. He has worked super hard in his military career to get us where we are and he is today.
The hardest thing with him gone is I miss my best friend. We didn't start out that way, but we are now. I don't text him all the time at work, but I did get to text him pics when the kids were doing something cute and about once a week he would wake me up with an "I love you" text. Those are the things I miss most. I do have a friend that is filling in slightly but without the "I love you" text. However I don't want to bother her too much and sometimes I feel like I'm just bragging when I text pics of Abbie. I'm not, but I do certainly adore that little princess. ;)
