Carl leaves today...

Well Carl is flying out of Dyess in about 25 minutes or so... I dropped him off at his UDM at 9:30 and haven't seen him since. His return date is estimated at 15Aug which is Rylei's first birthday. A great gift right? So that's 207 days until we see him again. But we will be okay. Rylei has been pretty good today. When we got home from dropping Carl off she took a bottle and went to sleep. She slept until about 1:00 and got up, ate some rice cereal mixed with peas, had a little juice and got whiny. About an hour later she took half of her bottle and fell asleep for like 30 mins while I ate. I had a salad with grilled chicken on top. She has played on her play mat a lot today and is in her jumper now. I'm very proud of myself. I haven't crumbled today... yet. I actually feel pretty good so far. Of course I'm sad, but I'm not in pieces. I cried when Carl was saying good-bye to Rylei and on the way home but I haven't since then. I'm sure I will cry when his plane passes over our house. Well Rylei is calling for me. More later, or tomorrow.
