Reflecting on everything that happened this past week, if any of it is a sign of how the rest of the deployment will go, I think Parker and I will make it through just fine. There were a few times where I just didn't see how I could ever make it a year...that just seems so long...but then I quickly remembered why I'm here waiting out this year. It's because of Parker. He means everything to me and he needs me to be strong and brave through this for him.
I have some routines in place already that I'm hoping I can maintain throughout the rest of the deployment. It will help me keep busy and stay sane. June and July should be fairly busy with a couple of family reunions, teaching Sunday school, and teaching a VBS class. And the search for a fall internship is still going at this point. Hoping I can find some prospective companies soon.
Shout out to all my new MIG friends. You are a huge reason why I'm confident and not completely overwhelmed right now. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to meet any of you in person, I'm really hoping I can though, but you have all been awesome. You have amazing advice and ideas and your stories are inspiring.
I miss this crazy guy
