Dominic and the rest of the guys went on lock-down today. They won't have access to anything and they can't leave their designated area. Its all for security and customs. I got one last email from him this morning.
Tomorrow they will fly out and I should hear from him sometime really early in the morning on Saturday.
I can't believe its finally here. Its been way too long. So much has happened since December 1st. Many people said that it would go fast and in some ways it probably did. Overall, I would say that it did not go fast. When I think back about that time I realize how much I accomplished.
Sylvan twice per week
after school math tutoring
LOTS of doctors appointments and immunizations
getting the house painted
having some electrical issues fixed
having the washing machine fixed
Dad replacing lighting, electrical sockets and switches and a new toilet
starting and trying new medications for Christian
dealing with Christians teacher this year
staying on track with my weight loss
getting the cars in for service, oil changes and inspections
finding a dependable person to mow the lawn for me
finding a babysitter then losing her :(
holidays and birthdays
family drama
meals, naps, baths, bedtime stories
crying, yelling, screaming
smiles, laughs and special memories
Its been a rewarding time for me because I learned that I can live without Dominic if I have to. I hope I never have to again, at least not for this long. I did gain some much needed independence. I also know that I couldn't have made it through this without so many people. My sister has always been there, online, all day for me to talk to or vent if the need was there. She has helped me find confidence in myself. My dad was always a phone call away if I needed help and boy did I need help :) Thanks dad! Jim and Patty (my in-laws) have called lots of times to check in on us. They helped make birthdays special. My friends, you know who you are, have been amazing support. Two of them have done this before and offered lots of encouragement and understanding. I love you guys!
Its almost over :)
