A Faraway Valentine

Even though Brett can't read this, I wanted to put up a Valentine's post. I just wanted to say how much I love him. I've always appreciated him, but these past 2 weeks have really shown me how much he does for me and Kennedy. He is such a wonderful support for me, and I miss him everyday. I am so proud of him for going through boot camp - especially since I'm pretty sure that he hasn't gotten a letter from us yet either! He is such a strong man, physically and emotionally, to be able to go through something like that all by himself. He is the best husband and father, and my best friend. I am so happy that I married him, and I can't wait for this next 6 weeks to be over so that he can come home to us! I love you Brett!

UPDATE: I got a call from Brett! He had to be extremely professional and he could only talk for 3 minutes. He was calling from his company commander's phone, who was standing behind him listening and throwing insults at him the whole time. But he got to call! I think it was a huge privilege, because as far as I can tell, no one else in his company was able to call anyone. He said that he's doing well. He really only had time to ask how we all were and tell me he loves me (which was followed by barfing noises in the background by his CC), but I haven't heard a word from him in almost 2 weeks, so I don't care what was going on in the background or how long it was. I should be getting a letter or two this week, so I will have more of an idea how he's doing. Just thought I'd let you all know the great news!

I am so glad he got to call! That's a wonderful gift for you.

Side note: I heart how you have a Noah's Ark on the left side of your page for Noah. You're adorable!

That must have been so nice to get a chance to at least hear his voice again. You're strong for being able to handle your husband being gone while pregnant!

Sometimes I wonder at the corrective techniques they use...too carried away? Seriously, does Brett need to be 'broken down'? Good thing he's strong and has a great sense of humor! That's wonderful that he got to call you!

So good to hear that you got a call. I seriously could Not do it. I will hope that the next 6 weeks goes by fast as well!

Glad you are hearing from Brett regularly. Odd that he had to be so professional on the phone when everyone else was obviously not so professional (i.e. with background noise).
