Hey guys- Just want to let y'all know I am withdrawing from the challenge. I just can't get on the internet during the weekends- I only have one more left until my husband leaves for a year, and I don't want to sacrifice any time I can spend with him. I am also taking a vacation in December that I won't have a computer for, so you can see the difficulties.
But, I am still going to post my food and exercise. It really helped me stay focused and on track. I might not be updating every day, but I will as often as I can.
Right now all I can think about is my husband leaving. He's going to Iraq (second tour) and, while things are much safer there now, I am still worried. Many soldiers never leave the post, but he has a combat job and rolled out almost every day last time. He's not worried about his personal safety, like I am, but he is dreading this next year. He saw and participated in some pretty horrible things. Last night I woke up- he was crying in his sleep. He didn't remember it in the morning, but he did say he's been having some bad dreams, and is nervous about this deployment.
We need prayers. Both of us will need a lot of strength and help for this next year. We knew this was coming, so we can't whine that much, but it's not going to be fun.
This past year of being married to him has been the best year of my life, I am going to miss him so much, and he'll have it even worse. I hope and pray that he and all the men and women over there can return home safely.
Mrs. Baker
