Well hi there, so I know I said I was going to really get started on this in November.....well then the holidays came. It was my 1st xmas as a Army wife and it really wasnt too much of a difference, minus the fact that we were not in WA and around the same thing as we were every year. So we decided to go to Az and spend xmas with my dad and brother! 1st time in 21 years that I have gotten to spend xmas with my dad and the 1st time he has ever had his grandkids there :) And the 1st time I spent it with my 19 year old brother! It was so nice and relaxing we were actually there for like a week and a half.
So enough with the holidays, it is now January and I am getting my 1st real taste of Army life. Justin left to go to the field at 0 dark 30 on the 10th and here it is the 20th and we still have 4 days til he comes back. Man it is pretty tough without him here. I have decided that the kids are crankier without him here....at least Ethan is. I think he is the one that takes it the hardest. He knows that dad is at work but he wants him here just as bad as I do! I am really not looking forward to deployment which is coming in July :(
Army life is pretty different. I am like in my own little world and it consists of humvees and camo :) Not that I am complaining. Fort Hood is HUGE it is 360 miles....we are talking HUGE a lot of it are tank ranges and practice fields and firing ranges. SO needless to say when they are out practicing it is usually shaking my windows.....it grows on you after time, I am starting to be able to tell what they are firing. There are a bunch of different tanks and guns and rockets and missiles and explosives lol. Now dont get me wrong I love my life and I support my hubby 110% but I sure so miss him when he is gone.
Well that is about all for now! promise to write again soon!!
