My long Absence.

It's been 2 whole months since I have posted. A LOT has been going on. I moved across the country to Michigan. Major leap. I am starting a new job on Monday and the dreaded Owen being away for me during parts of the day starts. I can't say that he is going to be in bad hands though. I trust this girl with my life. It is only on occasion and I know that it will be both good for him and for me. But, it still gives me complete major anxiety to leave him for more than a few minutes. I guess that's the mom in me. (or the worrier, we will see)


Also, today is officially DAY ONE of Deployment. It is now 10:05 PM. Besides the occasional tearing up throughout the day, I would say I have held it together pretty well. Right after I said goodbye to Stephen, I went into my room to get Owen dressed and started to cry. Then I told myself, "NO! I have too much to do today." I'm sure I will be up half the night doing homework and get super tired and breakdown and cry my eyes out... but that is later in the night. Only 3 months and we get to spend Christmas together. It isn't THAT long. I have a lot to keep me busy. Especially, adapting to all of these changes. READY.. SET... GO.


I did get to spend some much needed time with Stephen during the last week and can I just tell you that I know I made the right decision by coming here. I have deployment support, family support and a new little life adventure to put in the books. Oh AND  I love him... to the moon. Well here are a couple of pictures from our last couple of days together before the BIG D.

It was much needed and I feel refreshed and ready to take on anything. This won't be easy, but it sure will be worth it in the end. My favorite part of the week was last night when we were going to bed and Owen was lying in between us. Our heads were all together and we were all just cuddling. After all of the stress and worry for the last few months, last night I finally felt at peace and so in love. I love my little family.
