So, that didn't work out quite the way I had hoped. I've come to this realization... When your husband is deployed, don't make any promises about doing ANYTHING! Especially blogging. Deployment was as stressful as one might think it would be. We kept very busy with our schoolwork, classes at HC, swimming, tae kwon do, and meeting up with friends. There were also moments of sadness as we said good-bye to two families that we had become quite close with, and of course spent several holidays feeling the absence of Daddy more keenly than average. I won't lie. The early winter months were hard, but we managed to pull ourselves through the end of May and FINALLY my husband's deployment ended in the early hours of the morning June 1st, 2012. Since then we have been enjoying our time together as a family. At the end of June we took a once in a lifetime family vacation on the Disney Fantasy to the eastern carribean (AMAZING!), and in July went camping for one night before being completely rained out (DISASTER!). We are now quickly approaching the end of another summer vacation while anticipating the start of the new school year ahead. The Crew will start their 2nd grade work on August 6, and while I have a bit of orgnanizing to do, most of the curriculum is prepared and ready to go! And of course, it just wouldn't be 'normal' if we didn't have a move scheduled to happen in the midst of everything... I'll know more soon, but it looks as if another cross-country move is on tap for sometime between November and January.
With all of that being said, I've come to realize that I really would like to make this blog a more consistent part of my life. In the past I've treated it like something I was doing for others... friends, family etc. and while I'm more than happy to share my life with anyone whose interested, I also just really want to write this for myself. So that when I look up and my kiddos are grown, I'll have this 'journal' to look back on and remember the details... I may ramble more. The spelling and grammar may not be perfect. It might even bore you a bit. But it will be all me, all the time.
Fair Winds!
