Deployment #3, Until we Meet Again

 Bare with me I'm a little rusty at writing..

So here we go again, Adam's headed out for his third deployment this time to Afghanistan for a second time. Is it going to be hard? Yes it has been a little difficult for Keplar and Kyly. I have notice that early on when Adam was training at Camp Williams Kyly would have a rough day after we got home from seeing him for the weekend. We had a few sad moments, but we get through them. Keplar,  my sweet boy is older and understands what dad is going to be doing and he worries about it quite a bit. I wish I could say deployments get easier, but truth is deployments never get any easier. This time at home it is a little more challenging having older  kids a lot tougher then having young kids for me. I'm so grateful to have Keplar and Kyly to help keep me busy. And most definitely I'm so grateful for the love a good man who loves us and cares about us.

 This is our family and what we do. We sacrifice for others, but Adam more then us. It's harder for him to say goodbye to us and go away. He is going to miss out on birthdays, ball games, loose teeth, playing with his kids, and his little girl starting Kindergarten this year. Me and the kids came up with "Daddy's Memories Box" so we can share with him a years worth of activities. Keplar was worried about everything dad was going to miss.

Adam doesn't believe he is a hero, but he has done some pretty extraordinary things for our country and deserves the title more then anyone I know. However,  its another thing to here your little boy say "daddy's my hero" those are very powerful words when spoke in reverence that way.

So as of today we have 387 days left until Adam is home safe with us again.. We are so grateful for the gospel and the plan of salvation and especially for our Temple Covenants and Sealing. No matter where Adam is at around the world we will always be an eternal family and are working on the same goals. More then anything this is what keeps us close in spirit and heart.

This nation will remain the land of the free, only so long as it is the home of the brave. Elmer Davis

 Adam: "How you feeling?" Keplar: "Egg roll!"  (family joke..hahah)
