A surprise for Mamaw Skinner

December 27, 2011
The Skinner Family Christmas

Mamaw Skinner on the phone with John. He called from Afganistan an she was so surprised. I've never seen her smile so much. I really think this made her Christmas......

Missing my baby....

I haven't had a good night sleep since John was deployed. Does the worry ever subside.  With no children it's just John and I. He will be home in another 9 days for R&R. I hope I can sleep then. I worry all the time about him. He's my rock and I'm his. We share everything together an we are each others best friend. Always have been from the start.
Sometimes I miss him so bad my heart hurts. I'm going to be busy from now til he gets home trying to get everything ready. I've already cleaned everything once and I'm sure I will find more to do. It's amazing how nervous you can get when your husband has been away for awhile. But it makes him coming home even more special.
