So we've been debating moving to Utah while Jesse is deployed since he found out he was getting deployed. We finally made the decision to for sure move last Monday. We will be moving July 3rd, since Jesse will have 5 days off for the 4th, and we aren't sure if he will get leave before the deployment or not. He's going to replace someone who is already over there, so it isn't a regular deployment where his whole unit is going or anything like that. So, ya I've spent the last 2 days stressing out a bit. That means I have 5 weeks from today to find a place to live, arrange for a moving van, seriously purge some stuff, find somewhere to store the stuff that won't fit in our apartment, and pack. Fun times.
Well, then Jesse called me today and said that he is going TAD to Arizona on Monday for 3 weeks. First off WHAT? Only a few people from his unit (I know they aren't called a unit, but I have no clue what they are called, so I'm going with that) are getting deployed and he is one of them. They are sending 3 people to AZ, and apparently even though he is getting ready for deployment he has to be one of them. So that means that I will now be preparing to move on my own, without Jesse. PLUS that gives us this weekend, plus 2 weeks when he gets back to spend time with him before he leaves. AND he will be gone for Father's Day. Apparently it isn't enough that he will be missing all 4 of our birthdays, our anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and probably Valentine's Day. Lets add Father's Day too. Sometimes the military sucks!

Adam and I missed our anniversaries the first few years we were married.
Heavenly Father isn't going to give you anything you can't handle, so you can DO it! You will look back with a sense of accomplishment and amazement at what you can do. Don't get me wrong, at the time, it's no fun at all.
I'm so sorry. Please let me know if I can help. I'd be happy to help in anyway. That really sucks.
Carley, I know exactly what you're talking about. Robin leaves for training this week, so he will be missing Fathers Day. And he still has more training in July. After that he has only 2 weeks to spend with us before the deployment :0(
