SO BLESSED TODAY

Today I got another phone call. He really likes to call while I am in primary teaching :) But, I will take it. My partner for my class is fabulous and understands exactly why I leave to take the phone calls! I was so happy to hear his voice and hear how he is doing! First off, I need to brag for a bit! Last week he told me he was made Assistant Platoon guide, was one of two that scored 100% on their red phase exit test, is in charge of the fire guard (where people take hour long shifts to make sure no one runs) schedule, and then he told me he won first place in shooting! He was so excited! It is so good to hear this side of him!
This week I got two letters! I got one Monday and another on Wednesday! It was so nice to go through his letters and hear how he is doing. He was given a calling at church! He is the Priesthood Blesser. Which means exactly how it sounds. He gives blessing to those in need! He said it has helped him so much to grow stronger to our heavenly father! It is incredible to see him grow up even though I can't be there with him.  I am excited to tell you that today I got a message from another wife saying thank you. Brandt has been such an example to her husband that he is going to church with Brandt and he talks frequently about how much he likes Brandt. :) My heart melted! I have spent all day (after church) talking to other wives and trying to set aside a night when we all get into town for graduation to go to dinner and meet each other since we have been each other support. I am so excited!
I just need to take a moment and say that even though I STRUGGLE with Brandt being gone, I am so blessed and insanely PROUD of my husband! One of his letters said to me that I am the strong one for being a Firemen's Wife and an Army Wife. But, here is the deal! I love my husband more than anything! I know that he is the patriarch in my home and I wouldn't care if he were a sewer cleaner! I would shout it at the top of my lungs that I am a proud supporter of the one I love no matter what their profession! I know that some people think it would be hard to be a firemen's wife or an Army wife but I honestly think it would be hard to not be! This is my life and I embrace it with all my being! 

To my family (both sides Even Extended) and friends I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the support and love you have shown me with Brandt being gone! I have had so much anxiety these last few days about moving away from all of you but, I know that this is the life that Brandt and I have had in our plans even before we knew it! It will be hard to be away from you and I hope and pray that you all know of our love for you if we don't get to see you before me move! I love all of you and am so blessed to have you all in my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

Sincerly, the Daniels
