Church was awesome for me today. I was sitting in the chairs with my husband once again at my side. I was able to worship and pray with him again and it felt amazing to have him there with me. It really wasn't anything more that just the fact that our family day was complete again. We all went to church together, ate lunch together, and then just hung out around the house together.
At home, the kids finally got Ian into their epic wrestling match that they have been dying to have. It was actually quite funny the way it happened. Ian and I were in our room, changing out of our church clothes when we hear Daniel starting up the stairs telling his sisters, "I am going to go wrestle with daddy." He knew they would want to wrestle too, and that by just telling them he was going would make them follow right behind him. Sure enough, it worked. They all filed in our room and jumped all over Ian. It was so funny and they all (Ian included) had so much fun. I had fun just watching them.
The kids literally could have gone on and on with the wrestling, but eventually, Ian had to call it quits for the day. The kids made him promise he would wrestle again tomorrow, and Ian agreed, knowing they wouldn't rest unless he promised them more tomorrow. I just sat back and watched the whole thing, laughing and smiling the whole time. Nothing has made me happier than to see Ian with our children again. He loves them so much and he is such a good dad. These two weeks of time are going to mean so much to the kids over the next half of this deployment. It will be a good reminder of what they have to look forward to when this deployment is done.
