31 weeks down!

We are 31 weeks into deployment. It's hard to believe he has been gone that long, but on the other hand it does feel that long. After we hit 20 weeks, the half way point, it felt like time slowed down. So to be 11 weeks past that feels pretty good.

Eric is still in Africa working hard. They are all just ready to get back to Spain and head home. Living in tents and eating nothing but MRE's isn't fun. But he's doing good. He's getting anxious to get home and play with his little guy. It's going to be so cute to see them together. :)

For Halloween I decided to dress Conner up as Daddy. He's going to be wearing cami's that even have our name on them. It's going to be so cute. I just have to see if I can send them back because the size I ordered is WAY to big! Probably should do that since it's almost October!

Speaking of October.. I can't believe it's already Fall! Eric left when it was still winter. So we've been apart through winter, spring, summer and now fall. It seems like we were just like "It's August! and almost Eric's Birthday" and now it's almost October! Amazing! We just have to count down to Halloween and Thanksgiving then he will be home! Where he belongs!

I can't wait to get back to MS and get our house set up, and have our things back! I can't wait for Eric to see our new car (2011 Ford Escape). And most importantly I can't wait to see Conner so excited to see Daddy and to just be playing with him. He's going to love having Daddy home!

It's going to be bitter sweet. Most importantly sweet because Eric will be home, but bitter because we are leaving so much, and so many people behind when we go back to MS. I wish I could pack my parent's up and take them with us. So many people love Conner, and he loves being with them too. So I am really going to miss having everyone around, but I am so thrilled my Family will be together again.
