It is going to be a LONG couple of months

Well to begin with I should let you know that im new at this so if it looks bad...oh well. I started this blogging cause all of my friends have startd one so I needed to be cool just like them!! LOL
My name is Mandy (Frederic) Thompson, ive been married to Marty Thompson for 7 years. We have 2 boys, Noah 7 & Hayden 5. Im working for the Children's Clinic of Pascagoula & I love my job. My husand works at Northrop Grumman and is a Reserve deputy for the sheriffs dept. Anyways ill quit boring you with all that info and tell you why it is going to be a LONG couple of months. My husabnd like I said in the sentence above is employed with Northrop Grumman as a QA Inspector. On Monday I recieved a phone call from him while I was at work with the news that he was leaving to go work in VIRGINIA and he was leaving this week. He told me he didnt have all the detaild but would let me know as soon as he knew more info. He came home that night and told me that he didnt know much more but once he did he would let me know. But he did give me the sad news that I needed to call Disney to reschedule our trip that was planned for May. :( Well on tuesday he still didnt know much just that he would be leaving possibly thursday. OK I thought to myself i need to wash clothes for him...so I did. On wednesday he still didint have any more info. This was getting aggravating. On thursday I text him to ask what he wanted for dinner from cracker barrell casue I was not cooking, he told me what he wanted and told me that he was staying over at work & was not leaving until they got everything done. I get a phone call about 2 hours later with the news that he is leaving on Saturday morning at 5:40 AM.
Well I took him to the airport this morning......he hugged & kissed me several times before he got in line to get on the plane. I hugged & kissed him goodbye, went to my car to leave 7 I was fine until my phone rang. He was calling to make sure I got to my car ok & to tell me to becareful on my way home. That is when I started crying...again (I cried on the way to the airport). Im used to my husband being gone but we heve never been away from each other this long. He will be able to come home for a weekend every 30 days & I plan on going to see him too, but this is going to be rough.
I miss him....

  2. Hi! Welcome to blog world! Glad to have you here!! Sorry Marty has to be gone so long...Paul is talking about going out on the ship when the navy takes it over and riding it out to San Diego. They will have to go all the away around South America because the Panama Canal is closed, so that trip would take 3 weeks, and then he's going to be working on the ship out there once they dock for around 3 months!! I might go out of my mind!!!! Of course, that's all just talk right now...he hasn't 'officially' been informed that he's going to go, so we'll see. Anyway, us girls will have to do stuff together to keep you busy!

  3. What are you going to complain about with Marty not home to bug you??? Just kidding!! I know it is going to be tough...you can come have a slumber party at my house anytime you need to!! We can lock the boys in Henry and Grant's room and watch some movies!! When Jason starts this outage, I'll basically be husbandless {I made that word up} too!!
