Tonight we will be leaving Ohio and driving to Scott AFB, IL to catch a flight back to California. It is a bittersweet feeling for everyone and it will be hard to say goodbye. Tyler has already started crying and saying he doesn't want to go home! It hurts to see him want to be with family so badly, knowing there really isn't anything we can do to get him home. We have been working on trying to get a little closer to home, but each effort gets shot down somehow. It can get depressing, but we knew that was the military life.
Please keep us in your prayers as we travel by car to IL and then fly on to California. Also pray for an easy goodbye for all of us. As anxious as I am to get home to my bed, house, and dog...it will be hard to say goodbye.
It has been a great trip though! I have met my precious and beautiful niece Mikayla....who is adorable!! We have been to Alum creek swimming, to friend's house swimming, I have been with my sister for two whole weeks (who is going through a rough time right now), been to an Indian's game with my husband, and LOTS LOTS more!! I will post more pics of the past few days when I get home on Saturday. We had an awesome Fourth of July and Jaelyn actually enjoyed them this year!
See you Saturday!!!!

Saying Goodbye....

I miss you already:-(
i'm sorry you are sad. i can definitely relate to not being where you want to be. it's so HARD not being near family especially when you have children.
tim and i tried to get IN CA for the longest time while we were in - esp when we lived in texas because we did not like texas one bit. i wanted to live closer to his family in CA too b/c we visited so much and i just loved it here! so we put in for change of base (forgot what the military term is for that!) a ZILLION times.
tim even almost got the job at the LA air station, but then they didn't have a position for ME, so it got canceled. :( then we got word that they could use us both at Hill afb in UTAH. which was CLOSER to CA than Texas, LOL! so we did that. it was nice b/c we would go visit every other week to CA.
then when we got out, it was scary because it was hard to get a job in Utah (not very good job opportunity there). then tim's friend in Northern CA (Roseville) got tim a great job and we lived there for over 2 years. but we had NO family there at all & that was hard. we were over 8 hrs from where tim's family was in Southern CA. so Haylee didn't know any family and that was SO hard. we would go visit and she'd just cling to me like a monkey and wouldn't let anyone hold her, which was also hard.
finally, we made the move to Southern CA and we feel SO blessed to be near family again and for Haylee to experience what it's like to actually have family around.
sorry for the BOOK - but i guess my point is, hang in there. God will make a way. :)
take care,
Melissa
