(I know a little behind but i'll catch you up)
So good-bye to 2007 and HELLO to 2008. It started rocky, considering it hadn't been that long since he had left. It was hard waking up every morning and getting my butt to work and be happy and smile at everyone and be nice when you were so GRUMPY and sad that the one person that meant the world to me was gone. Not just gone for a few months and we would get to be with one another everyday, but for 15 months. Has anyone really realized how long 15 months is. I mean thats a year of your lives together gone, well not gone but not physically together. And at this moment it was barely even a month. But we are strong and we can do it.
Then Feburary came and the worst thing that you could EVER think happened. It was such a SHOCK! And it really makes you thank god everyday. But there was a stryker accident on Feburary 8th 2008 four Army soldiers were killed when their truck struck a explosive. 2 of those men were stationed in Hawaii and were actually in the same Battalion as my hubby. But what makes it even a million times worse the Sgt. Gary D. Willet; also known as Calvin was a dear friend of ours. We lived with him and his AMAZING girlfriend for 6 months when we lived out in Ewa. And let me tell you the moment i heard the news i was in COMPLETE shock. I mean it was so hard to believe that someone so close to me and my other half had passed. It really made me SCARED. For about 2 days i didnt hear a single thing and a MILLION thoughts were going through my head. Was my hubby okay? was the biggest one. I was so scared that i was going to loose him. But a few days later i heard from him. He was okay, but it was hard. I mean we really didnt know the guy but he was a good friend, i mean we spent 6 months of our lives living with this insane guy. It was hard. And let me tell you ever since that day i thank god every single time i get to hear from my hubby. When i go more then 24 hours not hearing from him my heart stops and i go into a state of panic. R.I.P Calvin! We all miss you very much!
Then a few months go by, same old story get up everyday go to work and come home to an empty bed. Then we start talking about his leave. They get to come home for only 18 days out of an 15 month deployment. And we decided for April/May. And well on April 23rd i get a phone call at 1am, and it was him telling me that he was on his way home and would be here by 1 pm that day. I was SO EXCITED that i couldnt go back to sleep. I had butterflies in my tummy. I got all dressed up for him, it had only been about 5 months since we saw one another. But it felt like it had been FOREVER. So i get to the airport WAY early and then i find out that his flight doesnt even come in till 2pm. So im not just WAY early im EXTREMELY early. But i didnt care all i cared about was seeing his gorgeous face. So im waiting, and waiting and i dont see him. Silly man went another way and i eventually found him and i just didnt even know what to do. But i hugged him and kissed him. It was so nice to feel him touch me again. So here starts our leave together.
LEAVE:
The BEST part of this leave was that we were able to celebrate his 32 birthday together. So i made him spagehtti for dinner and i baked him a cake and he loved it. Im not the best baker but its the thought that counts.
Then EARLY the next morning we head off on our trip. Our first stop was Maui. We had a BLAST!! We went everwhere and did everything. We went to the aquarium, we went 4 wheeling, we went on a dinner cruise (i got sick), but he enjoyed it getting drunk. We did the road to hana...which i also got sick on. And we just had a blast being together and experiencing something new together. It was amazing!
Then after about 4 or 5 days in Maui we headed off to the trip that he was SO looking forward to. DISNEYLAND!! He had never been to Disneyland, but had gone to Disney World. But it was special cause we were together. We were SO excited, we were seriously BIG kids. We did everything. I mean we took pictures with all the characters and we went on most of the rides (im not a ride person..well big scary ride). But i did a few because i know that he wanted to expiernce them with me. We had so much fun, and the best part was that our hotel was like right outside Disneyland so we didnt need a rental car we just walked there. We had SO SO SO SO much fun! It was amazing how much you can fit in 4 days at both parks. And for such a nice price.We had So much fun that we really didnt wanna come back to Oahu; i think mostly because we knew that soon we would have to say our good-byes. But we made the best of it. When we got back to Oahu we did everything. We went mopeding (which was INSANE!). We went on another dinner cruise, which i didnt get sick..lol. We went on the Atlantis subarime which made me a little sick, but was fun. And then since he was going to miss our 1 year anniversary he took me out to a fancy dinner. We went and bought some really nice clothes got a couples massage (not our first one) and then we got all dolled up and went out to dinner at Morton's Steak House. It was the BEST ending to the perfect leave. Then May 12th came along. It was hard to believe that our 18 days together were over. It went by SO fast, but it was AMAZING and we had the BEST time ever!
I still remember that day, we had gone to the Dole plantation and did the maze. We thought that he didnt have to leave till later, but when we got back home he re-checked his tikcet and he was leaving in about 2 hours. WOW what a slap!! I wanted more time. It was SO hard not to cry! I was being SO strong i really was and i was just embracing the last few moments that we were going to have together. And then BAM!! The tears start flowing. I could not stop them, i was SO sad to see him go. I was so afraid that i as going to loose him. Hes my world my EVERYTHING. And all i could do was hug him and kiss him for the last time and watch him walk onto that plane and fly away from me for the second time. I cried all the way home, but had to SUCK it up because i had to go to work the very next morning. But i made it through the days. But it still hurt knowing that this time i would not get to see him for 10-11 months. But once again we are strong and we knew that nothing not even and stupid deployment would break us.
About 2 weeks after he had left i took a pregnancy test because i had a f
eeling, and well it came out with a BIG FAT POSITIVE! I was pregnant. I could not believe it. I remember sitting on the toilet taking the test and placing it on the floor to let it do its thing and the next thing i know i pick it up and it has TWO pink lines. I swear that i almost fainted. I was so EXCITED that i couldnt wait to tell him. When i told him he was in disbelief, as well as i was. And then came a hard part, i had to tell my parents. And that didnt go so well. I actually ended moving to Baltimore Maryland to live with his mother and step father, people that i had only meant once. But they opened there arms and there house to me. And it was very nice. I expiernced alot there. Going from living in Hawaii to movving ALL the way to the east coast. It was a new expiernce, but it wasnt for me. So about 3 months after living there and being almost 20 weeks pregnant we decided that i needed to move back to Hawaii. We both knew that i would be a little bit more happier because i was in a place that i was familiar with and that i knew how to get around and most of all could get things together for when our baby and him came home. I got us a very nice house 3br 1.5.5 baths. It just right for the two soon to be 3 of us.

Baby talk now. So when we found out that i was pregnant i was already 5 weeks pregnant and the estimated due date is Janurary 25th 2009. I was SO excited. We were finally starting our family together. It was amazing. I was SO excited when i got to hear her voice for the first time. It was AMAZING my heart seriously stopped. It was just so heart touching. We had really wanted to have a boy and had decided that we wouldnt find out the sex of the baby till we had him/her. But he was WAY too excited and i really wanted to know the sex so i could go shopping. So i found a place that did 4d ultrasounds. So he let me go and do that. And i found out that we were going to have ourselves a little girl. I was excited because either way this baby was going to be a part of me and him and that was the BEST thing in the whole world. So i got too choose her name and her name is going to 
be Kaelyn Emilia-Hart Callender. I been preparing myself and the house for this little precious gift that we are about to bring into this world. It does suck that he is not going to be there for the delivery, but he will surely be there in spirit; holding my hand telling me that everything is going to be okay.
In septebmer, a terrible thing happened to my family My GREAT grandmother who was about 95 years old passed away. It was very hard on our family because she was someone very special to everyone. Its very sad that she was not able to meet her great great grandchild, but i know that everyday she is watching over me and our daughter and is sitting up there in heaven smiling because she knows that no matter what she is apart of this precious gift. Also she is taking my great grandmothers maiden name Hart as well as i have for the past 21 years and will forever and ever. I miss you so much TUTU, wish you were here to say hello to our beautiful baby girl!!
