Life of a Military Spouse

Tomorrow morning starts our six week break from Brian :(  He is leaving in the morning for training and will hopefully get to be home on and off at night over the next two weeks a few nights, but as of May 31, he is gone to Boise until July.  I knew this was coming when he made the decision to join the Utah National Guard last year, as he is a former Marine, I knew separations would come with the territory, but it is still sad to say goodbye.  The kids and I are staying as busy as possible while he is gone so that our minds are off of the fact that he is not here.   We also have the plan in place to use Skype.  In case you don't know what Skype is, Skype is a free web-based video chat system.  We plan on using it so that the kids can feel more connected to their Dad.  Don't have much else to say tonight, just have Brian leaving on my mind.
