Hi Everyone!





It's Amanda, Steve's girlfriend, making his first post, so to speak. But I wanted to post some pictures of him with the kids right before he left so he could see them. I have to say that I was so proud of him, watching him get on that plane, knowing what he was sacrificing to leave that way. But I also have to add that the selfish me, that little devil on the shoulder, was bartering with the Lord to please let the plane break so that I could see him again for just a few more minutes. As he turned to walk away, I felt as if I saw my heart walking away and getting on that C-130. As the propellers slowly began to turn I knew then that each rotation would take him farther and farther away from me. The hard part, I think, is sitting here waiting for him to walk through the door, just as he does most nights, beer in hand, and say "What's up?" I miss him so much already and can't wait to have him home again!
