The day had come that I had to say goodbye to the person I love most. On Tuesday, July 20th, Chet and I drove four hours to great falls. The drive went by quickly, but it was a very emotional four hours. We had to get to the base early so I could get my military I.D. (as you can see in the picture). We then had an hour or so left before I had to drop him off at the airport. During that last hour I was wishing I could stop time. I did not want him to leave. Saying goodbye to your husband who you have only been married to for two months is not easy one bit. As I was hugging him goodbye we were holding each other so tight. I was trying to take it all in and remember those last two minutes as best I could. I did not want him to let go, but he had to. Those last hugs and kisses meant so much to me.
I then drove back four hours to Marion. It wasn’t all that bad of a drive, minus the crying. I prayed and talked to the Lord, which helped me tremendously. I am blessed to have God in my life because He is the one who is going to help get me through the next eight months of Chet’s training. I made it to the lake house and when I drove up I just had this sad feeling inside of me. I had never been in Montana without Chet before and knowing he won’t be with me for a while just made me cry.
Chet called me when he landed in San Antonio Texas and he put the biggest smile on my face. Just hearing his voice makes me happy. I know this journey is going to be hard, but it will strengthen our marriage and we will become closer through all of this.
I ask for your prayers everyone. That Chet and I will both stay strong and rely on God full heartedly. I ask that you pray for Chet as he is going through the hardest part of boot camp right now. That he will have the strength mentally, physically and spiritually to get through this. Thank you!
