Well, if actually happened! For the last few months I have been living in denial about Aaron being deployed. As much as I tried to slow time down, it seemed to just go faster and June 23rd still came. The week before he left was filled with packing, tears, more packing, tears (by me of course, he is a big bad Marine) and a little fun too! The day he left was pretty awful, but I am surviving and am almost a week into my countdown.
I have had lots of help staying busy, thankfully my wonderful sister in law has been staying with me! If I cant have Aaron at least I have another Huffman!
My Mom, Sister, Brother in law, and niece and nephew are coming later this week so that is sure to keep me busy! I am looking forward to staying as busy as possible the next few months to help make the time fly by!
As for Aaron, he is doing well, I spoke to him today and he is in country and getting settled and should start flying in a few weeks. His spirits were high and he is lucky to have some good friends with him!
Thoughts and prayers for a safe deployment are greatly appreciated, for Aaron and all the VMM 365 Blue Knight Family!
Above is a picture of Aaron and another pilot from his squadron getting ready to load the buses to head in country!
