Part of me has known this was going to happen to us one more time, but the longer the army delayed and delayed and all the high alerts, and then NOTHING. Kinda messed with my head... I really got in there that he wouldn't be going. But on Saturday they dropped the Bomb! He has got his orders and will be deploying, the date isn't final so it could change but only by a few weeks! 18 MONTH TOUR!!
Now I keep telling myself Jayce don't have a pity party for yourself, look for the good and get a support system! But its so hard, I know those long days are coming around 5:00 and then hearing the keys jingle on the door and then Tomas is home and that wave of, not sure if I can describe it but all you wives and mothers know exactly what I am talking about!! That is not going to be there for over a year and a half!!! So many people have done this and with more on there plate than me! But there not me, and I am scared too death to take care of the girls all by myself!! I don't like being alone!
Tomas is having a hard time leaving this time too, mostly because of Reese and Halle, when he starts talking about not being able too see them everyday tears come to the eyes and we have too change the subject! He gets so worried they will forget about him! I'm like Tomas they know exactly who you are! Luckily Technology has come a long ways. He can send them video from you tube every night telling them good night and we have the web cam and the girls will be able to communicate and see there dad!!
Now another thing... I KNOW I KNOW I SAID I WOULD NEVER DO THIS!!! And I haven't completly decided, but I am not sure if I want the whole world wide web knowing certain things, but this blog is my journal! So going PRIVATE is the logical thing too do! And believe me I hate it, but the last thing I need is people knowing that my husband is leaving and me and the girls will be alone! So really even if I don't know you send me your email!!! And my plans of what I am going to be doing and going!! BLAH THIS REALLY SUCKS!!! Love you all! Thanks already for the support I know I will be getting, and for your prayers and caring thoughts and comments!

I am so sorry to hear about Thomas. You will do great i would love to be added my e mail is kelsieleigh@hotmail.com
Hey
I'm sorry to hear that your husband is being deployed :(
We went to high school together and I read your blog occasionally. My husband isn't deployed but he's been gone b/c of the army for the past 9 months. So I kind of know what you'll be going through. I have to take care of our 18 month old alone.
I'd like to keep reading your blog if you want to add me my email address is jk.anderson1017@gmail.com
My blog is private as well (b/c like you I don't like people knowing I'm alone) so if you want to read it just send me an email and I'll add you.

Hey Jayci, so sorry to hear about your husband, that really sucks. My cousin is getting deployed to Afghanistan also. He has a wife, one daughter, and one on the way. This will be his third tour. I don't know how you girls do it. Anyway, you can email me at rcarter2004@gmail.com. Be strong and I will keep you all in my prayers.
You two are such amazing people!! Good luck with everything, I am so glad that you are now able to do the webcam stuff and even though anyone would so much rather be together in person I'm glad we have come far enough to be able to do that. Good luck with everything and even though I don't even know Tomas, THANK YOU!!!
please invite me to your blog when you go private. erinpettingill(at)gmail(dot)com
i'm so sorry about the deployment! i can't even imagine how hard that will be. i'm so grateful for families like yours who are willing to sacrifice so much for our country!! i would love to keep up with how you are doing. torim2000@hotmail.com
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Stay strong!

You are truly making the ultimate sacrifice for freedom! All I can say is a measily "thank you".....My heart is breaking for you and your family. I HATE all this stupid war stuff. We just need to pray for it all to end soon so he won't have to go! You will find strength you didn't know you had...I promise...sorry to get "churchy" on ya, but remember..."I can do ALL things through Christ who strenghens me" Phil 4:13! My email is tiff.dickson@netbailey.com.
I love looking at your blog. I went to high school with you, don't know if your remember me or not. Sarah Chambers Matthews. Anyway, if you would like I would love to keep seeing what your up to, dmsummit@yahoo.com. My little brother Ryan has served twice over there, its so hard. Just keep your chin up. And take it one day at a time.
Jace! Holy cow! Well first of all I have to express my appreciation for people like you and Tomas and Hallie and Reese for making such HUGE sacrifices to keep this land a land of liberty. You have all my support and my prayers will be with you all. Second- I can relate to the feelings of being scared to raise your kids alone for 18 months. That would be a very VERY difficult thing for me. Every hunting season I swear I go crazy :) 18 months is a lot longer and a support system is just what you need! Oh- another thing- you do have swoop! I know he is generally "that damn dog," but I think that damn dog will help keep you protected. That was one of my biggest stresses when Brad is away-- protecting me and my kids. We cannot have a dog, so a gun suits us best. Add me to your "permissions," I think you have my email.
Also! Once the weather warms up- we need to jet over to the farm at Thanksgiving Point!
Jayci, I have really enjoyed seeing you in the role as mother and wife so here is my email. glimmerz_83@hotmail.com
I wish you the best of luck and I can't even imagine what you will be going through but my heart is with you. Tons of love-
I'M SORRY GIRL!!!! Good Luck with everything! I hope the time will fly by for you all! Keep us updated we are thinking of you guys :)

Dang girl! I wish I lived in SLC so we could be there with you during those months without him. I am with everyone else... I am so grateful for families like you who are willing to serve our country.
I don't blame you for going private. I go back and forth myself.

Move back to Willard!!! Just while he's gone. Then you'll have your family closer by, you'll be in a SAFER AREA, and you'll have me to live at the pool with all summer and help you through this. And its not like we don't have restaurants up this way. You can get a job here too and I'll totally help with your cute girls. Can you tell I'm serious about this?! I am!! Come on, come closer to your support system. We need our Jayc just like you need us. You're in my prayers girl. jdh48@hotmail.com. Love you.
WOW!!! If I was in SLC i would try to keep you as busy as possible! Also if you go private I want in!!!

Hi Jayci, I don't know you, but Tomas and I were in the same home ward for a while when we were college-age. I found your blog through other friends and I must confess that I check yours out every now and then. My husband was deployed to Qatar last fall. It was really hard, we had a 5 week old baby BUT we made it through it! I wanted to still see how you guys are doing since your other half will be leaving soon. karafarnsworth@gmail.com
hey jayci, please add me. your family so so stinkin cute.... jacie_456@hotmail.com
I don't even know you, but love to read your blog. I would like to be added if you don't mind. michellelondon80@gmail.com
