Thanks for stopping by, follow me through my year!

Well this is all pretty exciting for me. I am new to the "blogosphere" but thought I would document my journey through another deployment.
This is the fifth deployment for my husband, and each one is different and difficult in its own way.
There are many men and women out there just like me; spouses, fathers, mothers, sisters brothers, and children. So many of us that put our lives in a bit of a holding period waiting for our loved ones to come home.
For most of us, we know the sacrifice our soldiers pay, as well as the sacrifice each of us pays while they are gone!
For better or for worse, we keep the home fires burning.

Time for a routine

We do this thing every night at dinner, called BEST AND WORST. We go around and each say the best and worst part of our day. Pretty self explanatory. My best yesterday was a video chat with Doug. It is nice to see his face and hear his voice at the same time. We have a partner desk, so the desk mimics itself on either side, and I am use to him sitting right across from me, so a video chat seems like he is right there, nice!!!

Seth and I went out to eat last night at Genghis Grill...yummmm (another best). We did because I got so wrapped up in trying to finish my biology chapter that I forgot to get anything out for dinner... oopppsss - it happens. Add that to the fact I need to grocery shop....

It really is time for me to fall into a routine and pattern. I have not ran in almost two weeks! Why? Well life is hectic before your loved one deploys, you don't want to waste time with things like...running when you can spend time with your family. Then this week has been a roller coaster.
The transition is never easy for someone to get from point A to B - it just is not. Those who have lived through it more than once understand the time it takes to get to where they are going. For me, I cannot seem to fall into a routine until he is "safely" where he is suppose to be (weird choice of words for me there...)
Now that he is at point B, well the time for excuses it over, and I must lace up my running shoes again! Today I have bio, tomorrow a Dr appt early in the AM - and starting on Friday I need to be held accountable to running. Is there anyone out there who wants to be my accountability coach? Just kidding!

Well I better sign off for now and get the boy up for school!
