If time would only slow just a little..

My husband deploys next month.

There really isn't much else to say, other than a four letter word.

This day has been coming since he swore in, but who knew it'd come so quickly.

I'm proud of my husband.

I'm terrified about what could happen.

I'm nervous about what the future holds.

I'm sad for my children, what they'll miss..what he'll miss..

I'm a complete wreck.

Pray for me, pray for us, pray for him.

Feeling a little hip..

Life has been crazy these past few weeks.

On November 13th, my mother fell while working at the UT game and broke her hip. To answer your next question, the number is zero. She fell down zero stairs! There weren't any stairs involved, she tripped over a sewage drain in the middle of a walkway in a dark tunnel. Yeah, recipe for disaster if you ask me and UT must agree, two days later said sewage drain was no longer there. She underwent hip replacement surgery and was moved to a rehab clinic. Thankfully she was able to come home the day before Thanksgiving and has been at home recovering since.

On December 3rd-5th, Tim and I attended a marriage retreat that the Army put together. It took place at Lake Way Resort and Spa out on Lake Travis, and it was beautiful!! Not only was the location great, the food amazing, the company awesome..but the course was wonderful too. We left with a deeper understanding of each other, hard to imagine seeing as we've been together 6 years, and with a new way of communicating. It was amazing, I hope after this deployment we'll be able to attend another.
