How its been.

So I haven't updated you lately. Sorry. I have been neglecting my blogs. Jacob is now in a place called Jalalabad. I completely cracked up when he told me this. It just sounds funny. I think it sounds like something that would come out of Willy Wonka's mouth. He said that it is not at all what he expected. There are trees and these little monkeys. That is about all I know so far.
I have been trying to stay busy here and I've succeeded fairly well. I have also made myself a new military girlfriend. A friend of Jacob's fiance and I have been chatting. It is nice to talk to some one who understands and I think she feels the same, especially since this is the first time she has been through a deployment. I am doing my best to reassure her.
I am also getting a once a week mommy day. My sweet little boy goes home with my mom once a week after we go to the gym. It is so nice. I love my little angel face, but it is obvious that we are starting to wear on one another after months of it just being the two of us here. It became especially obvious last night when he didn't want to come back home with me. Needless to say he spent the night with his Mimi. I had mixed emotions about this. I enjoy my alone time, really I do. I get so little of it. On the other hand my child rarely chooses some one else over me. It kind of hurt when he cried and clung to my mother because I was trying to get him to take him home. Like I said, it is quite obvious we are wearing on one another. He was eager to see me this morning though, so I feel a little better about that. He still didn't want to come home with me though. I think he would have been perfectly content to spend another day with his Mimi. He misses his daddy too. It is so adorable and a little heartbreaking how often he comes up to me and says something undecipherable about daddy and then proceeds to tell me that his daddy is at work. He will climb up onto my lap when I am at the computer and ask to see pictures of his daddy. I know that Jacob was worried that Caleb would forget him since he is so young, but I think it is safe to say that this will not be an issue. I will keep showing him pictures of his daddy and if Jacob calls when Caleb is around I will make sure he gets to talk to him. I keep hoping that we will get to use the webcam when Caleb is awake. I think that would be a treat for both of them. I am trying to be patient.
As always I miss my sweetheart deeply and am eagerly awaiting his return. Please keep him and all of our soldiers in your thoughts and prayers!
