Mid-week

I am waiting for Caleb to come home so we can go on our date. Hurry home honey!

Yesterday I had a desire to bake, so I looked around at what I had at home and made some homemade traditional chocolate chip cookies!


They turned out great, but I think I should have taken them out a little sooner from the oven as they weren't as soft and chewy by the end of the night.

I just got done teaching piano and I'm so blessed to have the cutest and sweetest students! One of my students, Isaac, told me that his teacher at school is mean because she probably has hidden "horns" on her head. I asked him if I have horns on my head and he contemplated for a second and said, "No. Ms. Nancy, you have a halo." Aw, how he melts my heart!

The garage and the guest bedroom are now completely filled with Caleb's gear and clothes and equipment and sea bags. He has to turn everything in by Friday so we'll have to finish packing tomorrow night. I still can't believe that he's leaving so soon...doesn't really feel quite real...

and...I just wanted to post how sweet our dog is. She has so much personality and just wants to love and be loved by you. I usually open the front door in the late afternoon around the time Caleb comes back home from work, and she loves to sit right by the door and wait for him.

She is barely tall enough to peer through the window...

She can sit for such a long time waiting for him. It makes me sad thinking about how much she will miss him when he's deployed. 

Even though I know this deployment will be hard for the both of us, I feel so blessed that God has given me such a sweet and loving man who is my husband. He is so aware of my feelings and loves me for who I am and my heart has never felt more protected or more loved by any other.  

"Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the father of lights in whom there is no variation or shifting shadow."  James 1:17.
