Well, we are back from South Carolina. We got to spend Thursday night through Sunday morning with Chris and it was so wonderful to be with him. I had put on a sort of hard shell after he left and tried not to allow myself to miss him too much so I wouldn’t get too lonely or upset. But when I opened the door and saw him standing there, the shell shattered. He looked so handsome in his uniform and I wanted to just hold on to him and not let go but I held back so the kids could get their time with him first. He has lost some weight and he looked amazing. He is absolutely the most handsome man on earth!
Chris took us on post and showed us where he does all of his PT and classes. I took some pictures of the chapels he has visited and we bought plenty of Army shirts and gear at the PX for me and the kids. We had dinner out and relaxed in the pool at the hotel. It was so nice to be a functioning family again.
I started packing up last night and cried a lot but never let Chris see me because I know this isn't easy for him either. I am sure he gets so lonely without his family there. This morning I was trying to get ready to go and I just couldn’t hold it back. I cried and cried. I just didn’t want to leave. It broke my heart to have to leave him there. I am trying my best to be strong but I miss him so bad. I cannot even put into words how bad I miss him and want him home. We said our goodbyes in the hotel parking lot and left. I cried for a while. I just didn’t want to be away from him anymore. Alana cried too.
We finally got home to a very lonely and empty house around 6:30 this evening. I pulled into the yard and didn’t even want to go into the house. I walked in and started to unpack and now that the kids are in bed it is quiet and I just want my husband here. I want him here so bad I can barely stand myself. I don’t want to sleep in that bed without him. I don’t want to wake up and not see him there next to me. I want to just get back in the car and drive back to South Carolina to be with him.
I know I sound pitiful but I know it will be alright. I just want him home so bad. I don’t know how wives handle deployment. I want to be with Chris every day. I don’t want to be away from him. When he does get back home, I am not sure how much I will allow him out of my sight for the first few days. I am going to cling to him.
Anyway, I am sure you are all tired of hearing me whine so I will try to stop now. I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I also want to thank everyone who helped me out during this trip. I appreciate everything that all of you have done.
Please continue to pray for us, we need it.
I love you all!

Hi Amanda,
I did a google search to find other Army Chaplain's wives and found you! I've been following you for a little while now and just felt led to comment. My husband was just accepted into the Army Chaplaincy on June 25th after almost 2 years of preparing. Anyways, I am praying for God to give you peace, rest and His continual presence during this time you are away from your husband! Also, that He would comfort your children as well. Blessings! Lauren
