Deployment Ceromony

Sunday was one of the dreaded Days for the upcoming deployment for me. When it comes about you know the leaving is close. And you have to face it. We are facing this deployment by just focusing on one day at a time trying to not concentrate on what tomorrow is bringing but on this Minute that we are together as a family. Don't get me wrong we have been preparing and planning but we both choose that while we are together to focus on just that and not let anything else damper the situation. Now don't get me wrong I have break downs and of course here lately more often than not. But we are focused on the fact that God already knows what tomorrow brings, He has it under control and has the best for us planned, and he will give us the Strength that we need to get through what tomorrow will bring. But tomorrow is coming way to soon for us.
  So my goal for Sunday was to stay as busy as possible to get us through the day and to be strong!! So Sunday morning of course Zach had to leave about 0630 for drill. So My goal for the morning was to get MaKenna and me ready for church and to church. Which would be another check off our list of things we can get done by ourselves. We made it!! and Only 2 minutes late  for Sunday School. And might I add I remembered the Shower gift and Easter eggs and Candy that I had to take to church that day.
  We left after Sunday School to come home to get ready for the ceremony. Which I thought would give us plenty of time. Well MaKenna Decided she wanted to be extra hungry and eat for a long time! So My be there 15 min early as I like to always be especially to a military event (b/c all who are familiar with anyone in the service know they get there 15min before the 15min early rule) Well my being early went out the window. We got in the car and well lets just say I didn't obey all traffic rules ( I might have exceeded the speed limit a little) But I decided I would just give the Mr policeman my sob story in hopes he would let me out of a ticket. On the way just about everyone in our party called wanting to know if I was there yet I had a little breakdown then but maintained my composer parked about a mile away from the building got my 15 bags and MaKenna in her Car seat and began the trek across the parking lot in My Heels! And we all know I don't do Heels. But I made it without breaking anything and walked in just as the Ceremony was starting.
   We had a lot of Family come to the ceremony and are once again thankful of how blessed we are to have such support. Afterwards every one came to the house, and hung out for a little while.
