Saying Goodbye

Well the day finally arrived and I was really wishing that I could just skip over this particular day. The fact that Zachary was leaving didn't actually hit me until Sunday afternoon then whenever I thought about it I would just cry. Em and I took him to the recruiters office today and hung out for a bit before we said our final goodbye. Emily really didn't understand what was going on and when we left she just wanted to know where Daddy was going and said that she wanted to go back and see him. Then this afternoon while we were getting a Jamba she told a complete stranger that her daddy was at boot camp. Zachary made Emily some videos of him singing, reading and praying and today we watched one of him singing and she loved it. She sang right along with him and did the motions too. I think she is a little confused because normally we video chat with people on the computer and she thought she could just talk to her daddy.
On top of Zachary leaving today we are having to deal with some unexpected house stuff and it is really stressing me out. I am so thankful I am able to talk to him today to figure stuff out. I just so want to be done with the house and not worry about it anymore. I am hoping next week Emily and I will be all moved into my sisters and we can have our routine back to a little more normal. These next 9 weeks should be incredibly hard but I am trying to plan some fun stuff for us to do that make the days go by a little faster. Zachary bought Emily a little Navy teddy bear and he gave it to her yesterday. She loves her new little friend and has taken him everywhere with us today. He also surprised me and bought me a beautiful locket. I am going to miss him like crazy and can't wait to see him at his graduation.
