I really use to enjoy blogging but lately I feel like my mind is so dead from being around talking, screaming, chaotic and sometimes really sweet children! I wish my mind had time to clear and think of nice poetic sounding stories to post. Maybe I am just NOT a writer and maybe I'll just stick to short, simple and straight to the point!
The time is drawing near! I can not believe it's been three years since our family began the adventure of ARMY LIFE and now it's all about to come to an end! Three LONG years ago... I was 6 months pregnant and for some CRAZY reason when Sean mentioned joining the Army I was excited! Yes, scared but also excited, excited to serve our country and have a steady paying job with FULL benefits. Not so excited to go through childbirth without my amazing and loving birth partner! Going through childbirth, many birthdays( including my 30th), two anniversaries, moving, several long distance trips and not to mention many sleepless nights with sick kids ALONE! Excited?? why? OH almost forgot.. countless tourterous trips to the grocery store with three children three and under.... with every passing month... and every month of added age... shopping strips did eventually get better!!! Of course I'd do it all again.. because I love my family and I love my husband and oh yeah.. I love my country :) To keep it all in perspective, I wasn't really alone... I had my kids, my family, my friends and most importantly my Jesus! Sean was alone and lonely A LOT during those first two years as well. I must say though, that absence really does make the heart grow fonder! We are more in love today than ever before! He truly is my best friend and the one I long for each and every moment of every day!
As I type this, Sean is in the garage packing up all his gear to turn in for good! It seems so surreal. It was only 12 months ago that Sean stepped off the plane and back on US soil from his year long deployment to Iraq! This year has flown to say the least. WE are so excited to move on to our next life adventure in Arizona, where we will continue raising our children! Yes I said A-R-I-Z-O-N-A one of the other hottest states in the nation! Sean got new orders and I can't say a date but the move is very soon and I will be spending the next few weeks packing and preparing for the the long haul.
The next couple weeks are going to be spending a lot of time packing of course but also spending as much time with our friends here as possible! We have really made some of the best friends while in Texas! Mostly of whom go to Skyline Baptist Church! They are truly our family! If ever I need anything... there are countless people I could call at any given time! We plan to keep in touch with everyone. We love you ALL! If any of y'all are reading this, please try to keep in touch with us as well. Continue to follow my blog. I will definitely be posting a lot of pictures from our move and new home and of course the kids and horses :)
Ooops... that wasn't short... I should have known better!
Stay tuned....
