Failure?

Over a year has passed since I posted on this blog.  When I do get around to posting it is always on my main blog.  Sorry if there is anyone out there who is disappointed that this blog gets ignored but I think it's time to call it quits.  My husband never posts here either.  If you wish to follow my personal blog it will remain up and running.  I do post about military stuff there as well.  Keeping it separate just didn't work well for me.  Thanks for reading!

And so it begins...

Yes we are officially in our second deployment.  It's still sinking in.  I usually run on autopilot for a couple of days after he leaves until I have an evening where I fall apart and then can start to find my new rhythm.  By next weekend I should be fairly close to normal.  Well as normal as I can be this late in pregnancy.

However, now that he is gone I can focus my energy on preparing for the new baby.  After all, I am thirty-six weeks pregnant.  It's hard to believe we're less than a month away from the guess date.  It has all gone by so fast.

I will try my best (I always say this don't I?) to keep this blog updated.  Honestly, I might stand a good chance since I don't want the deployment stuff taking over my personal blog.  I will try to limit my postings on here to military and keep the cute baby/toddler stuff on my personal blog.  That way maybe they'll both get the attention they need.

Better late than never, maybe?

In my last post (all those months ago) I mentioned that the Army would probably play a big part in our lives this year.  What we didn't know but know now is that we'll be going through another deployment this fall.  Obviously I cannot release specific dates and/or locations but we are definitely in the crunch time.  Orders have been issued and we're within a three month window of mobilization.

I have also neglected to share that I am expecting our second child, another little girl.  Due mid October.

We're a little sad that hubby will be leaving before this baby is due and is likely to miss the birth but we know that everything will work out according to God's plan.  It may not be what we would choose if we had a choice but we trust our God and know he will be there with us through all.

Gotta keep up...

I at least need to post monthly on this poor blog.  Maybe even every other week if I can come up with something to say.

It's a new year.   Hopefully a year with good things in store for us.  I'm sure the Army will play a part in that.  Jesse is hoping to become an E5 this year.  He'll be going to WLC at some point in hopes of improving his chances of promotion.  He needs to sign a new contract before March since he's coming up on six years of service.  I'm sure there will be an AT.  I definitely hope to keep this updated.  If I spend another year forgetting this blog, it may end up getting deleted.  It's sad to say but there is no point in having a blog that isn't being posted on.

Today is a Special Day...

Military Spouse Appreciation Day :)
I want to thank every military spouse out there!

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Thank you for supporting your military loved one the way I support mine.

You are all awesome and deserve to be honored each and every day!
