My husband being home has been the biggest blessing. Its been 8 months since his deployment and I'm still just as grateful for to be in his arms as the day he got home. He teases me that I'm more needy/clingy/cuddlely (is that even a word?!) than I was when we were dating and I blame …

One Year Ago
This week makes one year. One year since we left Georgia. One year since we last saw our families. One year since we moved into this little house of our. One year since we made Texas home. This is the first time we have had the pleasure of calling somewhere home for more than a …
He’s Home
He's home and my heart has never been happier. My heart raced and I fought back tears as I read his text "We're boarding the plane now. I'm coming home, I'll see you soon." I barely slept that night. Excitement coursed through my veins. After 9 months apart, just 20 hours stood between me and …
Delayed…
While they are home, "deployment" is the word you don't want to hear. And while they are deployed, "delayed" is the word to hope never to hear. Unfortunately for us, that is exactly what happened. The rational side of me knows that its not much longer and that it will be here soon enough but …
Can You Hear Me Now?!
I swear we sounded like a dang Verizon commercial. We must have asked that questions at least 30 times and said "Babe?... BABE? Are you still there? Wait, what?!" another 30 times. We were able to get in a few sentences and a little conversation but not much before the call would either drop, go …
Nesting
I have always heard the term "nesting" in reference to a soon to be mother preparing the home for a baby. But as I hurry to add finishing touches and details to the house, I realize that to an extent, I am nesting too. Not for a baby but for him to come home. For …
It Won’t Always Be Like This
I have been hearing those words in my heart lately. Every time I look over at his empty couch or side of the bed. Every time I eat dinner alone and come home to an empty house. Ever time I go to an event or spend a holiday by myself. Every time I have to …
When The Distance Gets To You
With this deployment, I have learned that some days are better than others. Thankfully not all days are bad but not all days are not great either. Its a journey filled with many ups and downs. The easy days are treasured and the tough ones I take hour my hour but I am always grateful …
When Time Stands Still
I can not tell you how many times I have been told "Your life doesn't need to stop just because your husband is away at training/deployed.". And while that may be true for your career, social and other parts of life, only recently have I discovered that unfortunately its not true for every part of …
Small Little Details
My Husband called a few weeks ago as I was taking a nap. When deployed, phone calls are like golds so I gladly woke up from when I saw it was him. We talked for a bit and I could feel something was a bit off but could not figure out what so I just …
