So it is day two of this deployment. Rolando is still trying to get things sorted out in Ft Bragg. He's the man though - so I have know worries that he will get accomplished - exactly what needs to be accomplished. For the first time in my managment career, I am reaping the rewards of an annual bonus! It feels so good - especially exciting to call my husband to deliver the news when I know what our recent financial struggles have been. Thank you Jesus!!

So we went to the orthodontist today and have to park in the parking garage to get our ticket validated. As we were walking through the garage, Yadi says "We go to see Daddy". My poor baby - he was relating this parking garage with the one we parked in yesterday when we dropped daddy off at the airport. It broke Ro's heart to hear that. God has given us all we need though to make it through this next year. It brought back many memories ...when Rolando was deployed previously, every time we would go to the Target store and park in their garage, Little Ro thought we were going to pick up daddy. He was about the same age. Oh the life of my precious ones.
