I did it. I said goodbye to my husband and put him on a plane to Europe.
Lauren handled things really well up until she wanted to look out the window at the planes. We had a discussion about how people got on the plane and how big the seats were, ect....then it happened. Big alligator tears that turned into one of those hiccuping, whole body sobs. I am so glad that Paul was past security at that point and couldn't hear or see her. He would have had a break down. The crying lasted for an hour! Oh, how my heart hurt for her!
We had friends that had invited us over for the afternoon. I wasn't sure if we should try to keep busy or just go home. Well, we went to our friends house and let me tell you...it was incredible. They made us steak and baked potatoes! After dinner they brought out a DQ ice cream cake to celebrate Lauren's birthday that had been the day before. Lauren was so excited that they remembered her birthday and they did such great job of distracting us from what was such a yucky day. It was so nice to be loved on and to be with people who understood that being seperated from your spouse for an unknown amount of time is not easy. God is so awesome! I was so worried about what how Lauren would handle it today and God just took care of it!

So, how long will he be gone?? Was he excited about this?
He was so excited to go. It's a great job opportunity. As for the length of the trip, not really sure. They say 7 weeks. They say three months, they say six months. All I know for sure is that he can't be out of the country for longer than 90 days at a time because of his work visa status. That would bring him back in the middle of December.
Wow!!! I don't understand why he had to go there to work though?? When he comes back will he be back to his normal job? Does this mean a pay raise for you guys? I'll def be praying for you guys!!!
He went to help them get ready to open to open a new section of their facility. He has experience with the new computer system that they are using.I am hoping he won't have to go back to his mormal job, but we'll see. Praying there is a pay raise in all of this!
Wow!!! Hang in there! Eric travels a lot but I can't imagine him being gone more than a week at a time. AND - overseas...craziness! Seriously, if you need anything, please let me know!!!!!!!
