1st Deployment

Ty left for a year long deployment to Afghanistan on March 21, 2010 with the 144th ASMC.  It was all a little surreal at first. I don't think any of us really had a clue what we were getting into. It was definitely an emotional day for all of us.

This was the start of a year of growing, worry, and changes. Thankfully we all made it through with minimal scarring, and with lessons learned that we never would have experienced otherwise. I absolutely believe that it made us a stronger family, and stronger individually. I am so proud of my husband for serving his country. I am proud of my kids for making it through and believing in their hero every minute he was gone. I am also proud of myself. Any military wife would agree that a deployment is one, if not the hardest thing they have gone through. 

God Bless America and those that selflessly serve Her.
