Goodbyes are never easy...

Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my life. My brother, who is just 2 1/2 years younger than me, left for the army for 5 years. I've grown up with him by my side; he's always been my best friend. My brothers and I have always been so close and this is so hard on my family. We already miss him so much and it's taking a lot in me to stay strong. He is being shipped to Ft. Benning, GA for basic training and that means no communication for 18 weeks! I will be praying for him and his safety throughout his entire journey. I am also praying for short and safe deployments! It's crazy to think that when he comes home Landon will be going into kindergarten. Please join me in prayer! I love you and I miss you more than you know Andrew!
