I miss him....

I miss him ... I miss him! I cant say it enough, but even more so I love him I love him I love him. So we are going on 4 months now, but it feels like twice as long. Of course now that we are anxiously awaiting June to roll around it seems like it's taking longer.
I am so proud of my amazing husband. He is so great at his job, a side of him that I never really see, but I finally got to see a peak into his world. A reported from the BBC in London was with Luis a few months ago and filmed him and was so great to actually burn me a copy of the video and mail it right to me. It made me cry as soon as I hit play. Luis spoke straight to me and to Ashlyn. He showed us around his room, the hangar, the gym, their game room, etc. So I know now where he spends his days and nights. The reporter also went on a full mission with him, which was incredible to watch him in action. From lift off to riding in the helicopter, to landing, to going to get the patient that had been in an IED explosion, and taking him back to the helicopter and transferring him to the hospital. He is so amazing at what he does, it just blows me away. I know him as a soldier in the Army, but now I got to see him as a flight medic /EMT-I in the army which was so cool .
On top of all that he's such a wonderful husband and father. I don't know how I would survive all these deployments if I weren't so in love with him and he weren't so in love with me. Our love, our faith, our commitment and our trust is what gets us through these each and every time. It's always said "it will either make you or break you" I have seen both happen and with us it only makes us stronger. So in honor of my courageous, selfless, hard working, devoted and oh so adorable husband...my page is for you.
Please continue to pray for Luis and his safety, I constantly worry about him, it's only normal. Also please pray for God to open and close the right doors for us once this is all over. Luis is applying at several places in Austin, starting with the APD so entering the civilian job force is a bit scary when you have been in the military for so long, so prayers are needed.

Babe..I love you for who you are, for what you do and for all you do for us.

We are ALL very proud of you, Luis, and all you do.I have so much respect for you both and your relationship. It takes a very special couple to make it through such hard times and you two are JUST that (VERY SPECIAL). You BOTH are always in my prayers and we can't wait to see Luis in June. Come home safely and soon! Love you both!
