Just thought I'd give everyone the latest update.
Jackson's passport arrived yesterday afternoon. Yay for that. Unfortunately it took so long to get here that our plans of coming home this weekend have changed. I'm quite frustrated about the whole ordeal. And talking about it only makes me more irritable. But I figured that I couldn't just tell everyone that I was going to be home, only to not show up.
Our plans have changed because Jackson and I have made it through Brandon's deployment. Alive and well. Due to operational security issues I can't really state what that means. Sorry. But Brandon has asked that Jackson and I be waiting for him on the pier when he does make it home. How could I possibly say no? I miss him. Having a baby changes everything. I have gone months without seeing my husband. Yes it's hard, but it has gotten easier for me. It's not fair of me to ask the same of my son just because I want to go home. Brandon and Jackson have missed each other. Jackson deserves to have his Daddy home. And Brandon needs to not miss the entire first year of his son's life.
Yes...I am horribly homesick. I miss my Mommy and Daddy. I miss America. I miss Olive Garden and Old Navy. We have been here for almost 11 months. I will be home as soon as humanly possible. However, our trip will be slightly delayed due to this change in plans. Hopefully only by a few weeks. So I must apologize for getting everyone's hopes up and then bumming you all out at the last minute. I'll try and make up for it soon. Thanks for understanding that this will be good for our family.
