It was so great to see Darrick again this weekend! Let me catch you up...
Saturday morning a group of 18 family and friends drove down to San Diego to see Darrick and tour the USS Hopper. Our group included My parents, me and the boys, Dave and Laura, Aunt Belinda, Corey, their friends Kelli and Sarah, Uncle Oscar, Aunt Kathy, Charlie, Maud, Micah, Nicole and Kaitlyn. The weather was gloomy but we had such a good time.
From there we went to The Corvette Diner for lunch which was so fun and really yummy. After that everyone headed home but my parents and the four of us checked into the Navy Lodge so we could spend more time with Darrick.
It hit me Saturday night. Every once in awhile I just feel weak and so tired of all this and I just had to get it out and cry. I usually am ok but sometimes it is hard when Darrick pops in and out of our lives. It feels so good and familiar when he is with us. As we were sleeping and he reached over and pulled me close it felt so safe. He is so much more than my husband, he truly is my best friend and the person I am closest to in the whole world. It is so hard that we are now separated again. It is hard on the boys too. Jacob is really a Daddy's boy and would hardly leave Darrick for a minute the whole weekend.
Monday the Hopper left to go back to Hawaii. Darrick gets leave for Thanksgiving so he will fly back to California in about a month.
I miss him tonight, the boys miss him, but we will make it through...

I was thinking about you and the boys today. I'm glad to hear that you got to see Darrick, even though it was just a short time. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you'll reunite again, yeah! When you come back, we got to get together for scrapbooking.
Miss you ~ Bow
I know the feeling, but not so strongly! I would feel very out-of-place if Cathy were missing for extended periods of time.
Hang in there... we love you and are often thinking of you.
