Made it through the first 24!

WELL WE MADE IT THROUGH THE 1ST 24 HOURS!!!! CHRISTINA, ABRAM, BILL AND KIMBER HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2 NIGHTS!!!! THAT HAS HELPED A TON! THE HOUSE SEEMS SO INCOMPLETE WITHOUT TOM BEING HERE! ON THE BRIGHT SIDE THOUGH HE HAS CALLED THREE TIMES...ONCE FROM DELAWARE AND TWICE FROM SPAIN! ALTHOUGH HE WASNT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE BASE THEY WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A 24 HOUR LAYOVER IN SPAIN! THEY STAYED AT A NAVY BASE THAT TOM SAID WAS REALLY NICE...I TOLD HIM WE SHOULD HAVE JOINED THE NAVY BECAUSE OF ALL THE APPEALING DUTY STATIONS TOM AGREED THEN FOLLOWED IT WITH BUT I DONT LIKE THE WATER SO THAT WOULDNT HAVE WORKED! LOL! ELENA HAS BEEN SO WHINY AND CLINGY AND IM NOT SURE IF IT IS DADDY BEING GONE, THE NEW BABY COMING, HER ASTHMA ACTING UP OR JUST PLAIN BEING A 2 YEAR OLD!!!! I WORRY ETHAT SHE WONT REMEMBER HIM WHEN HE FINALLY MAKES IT BACK TO US! THE PREGNANCY IS GOING WELL....SO FAR SO GOOD....I AM REALLY TIRED AND ONLY GET NAUSEATED IF I WAIT TOO LONG TO EAT BUT ALL THIS IS A GOOD SIGN! BELLA HAS BEEN EITHER SUPER GOOD OR SUPER BAD! A BALANCE WOULD BE NICE OR JUST BEING GOOD 95% OF THE TIME WOULD WORK TOO. SHE TALKED TO TOM YESTERSAY WHEN HE CALLED FROM SPAIN AND SHE WAS ANSWERING YES AND NOS TO ALL HIS QUESTIONS THEN SAID "DADDY ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DRINK OVER THERE?" IT WAS SO CUTE TO SEE HER CONCERN AND MELTED MY HEART! SHES SUCH A LIL WORRY WART THAT SHE WILL PROBABLY BE CONCERNED OVER THAT THE WHOLE TIME HE IS GONE. BELLA AND TOM HAVE SUCH A GOOD RELATIONSHIP THAT I DONT WORRY ABOUT HER FORGETTTING HIM JUST THAT THIS WILL BE REALLY HARD ON HER HAVING HIM GONE! I AM NOT HAPPY TO HAVE HIM AWAY FROM HOME BUT THAT IS HIS JOB AND I AM PROUD OF HIM FOR SERVING HIS COUNTRY AND BEING WILLING TO GO AND HELP THOSE WHO ARENT ABLE TO HELP THEMSELVES! SO MANY ARE OPPOSED TO THE WAR AND ARE SO OUTSPOKEN ABOUT IT THAT IT HAS REALLY DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY....BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN AND THAT US BEING OVER THERE HELPING IS LIKE ONE BROTHER TAKING CARE OF ANOTHER IN THEIR TIME OF NEED! SOMETHING I KNOW TOM WOULD ALWAYS DO FOR TIM, TODD AND TROY!
