Butterflies

     As most of you reading this know, Shane is overseas (for just a few more weeks! Yay!) and can't Skype. This is such a bummer because he has had to rely on still pictures and the occasional one to two minute video to watch Shelton Ray grow from a 3 week old newborn to, now, a 5 month old baby. I can't even begin to tell you how it feels for my heart to break into pieces every day when I post those pictures on Facebook knowing this. I also know God has big plans for our family and I can't wait to have him home and actually be a physical part of our family. I have been steady daydreaming about Shane and Shelton playing in the living room floor while I cook dinner. A blessing I bet a lot of people overlook because it happens every day. So many times I have had someone say to me, "I don't know how you do it." Honestly, I don't know either. All I do know is, the moment you see your husband for the first time after a deployment is a magical feeling! A feeling less than 1% of the country gets to experience. I consider myself very lucky to have felt it. Anywho, The pictures will continue after he comes home of course but I really want you to know the stories and feelings behind them. Had I not been "sleeping when he sleeps" and "enjoying it because they grow up fast" (insert giggle), I would have been blogging this whole time!

     I have special stories behind all of those Facebook pictures and can't wait to start sharing them with y'all!
