An official Army Wife

Well I dropped Skyeler off at the hotel a couple hours ago. It was quite an interesting experience. I was slightly emotional but I was trying to put on a happy face for Skyeler because he was so nervous and anxious. I think it worked or at least I hope it did.

I gave Skyeler his surprise and I was with him as he read through all of the encouraging messages. Boy was that part emotional. Skyeler felt so loved and blessed from all of the messages and you could just tell how much he loved all of the notes from his best friends and family. I am so glad that I was able to do that for him and that I got that idea. I think it really made his night and he even said that it was the most perfect thing that I could have given him and lots of other mushy stuff. I am so glad that I was able to be there while he read them.

I never have really been good at recognizing promptings from the spirit and it is my goal to be better, but after I got home I was talking to my Dad and was talking about how I got the idea for Skyeler's surprise and Dad just simply mentioned its a good thing you followed the promptings of the spirit. I was kind of surprised but as I look back on it I know that that idea came from the Lord. He knew that Skyeler would need that and I am so glad that I was able to follow the promptings and help Skyeler. I know it will be hard for him to leave behind all he knows to go get yelled at by drill Sargents and jump out of air planes, but I think this gift will help him. I know that I couldn't have done this on my own. I really depended on a lot of other people to help me out and I am so glad that it came together. This gift to Skyeler wasn't just from me but from everyone. It didn't matter if you sent me a message or not I know that Skyeler felt love from many many people.

I feel extremely blessed to have the Husband that I do. I have learned so much from him and I am so blessed that I have someone that is willing to sacrifice so much for me and our future family. I know that the next few weeks will be very difficult for me. Especially since I will be Skyeler-less for both Valentines day and his birthday but I know all things happen for a reason and that I am going to be a better person because of it. It is my goal not to be a little hermit or whatever and lock myself in my room and be all depressed till I see him. I don't think I'll learn anything if I do that. I hope that I can become who I am to become through this experience. I hope Skyeler will be able to learn all he can and get an advantage in film-production stuff. I am very glad that Skyeler will finally be able to have a job where he can use his creative skills and talents. He is such a talented person and I know he will do well.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with the messages. You have no idea just how much it meant to him to receive it. It truly was a blessing. Thank you.
