Craziness is calm for the moment

Everything is pretty calm at the moment my dh is off to his TDS(Temporary Duty Station) and I am still here in the states. I am working on a couple of blogs. So please check back, for more updates!

Why did I think being an adult would be easy?

I was hoping by today, my husband and I would have some much need details about somethings. But of course I was wrong. How are we expected to make decisions and plans if we can't get the information we need? All I can say is oh, well I will just not think about an more. Which is going to be about as easy as being a kid who is told to go to sleep on Christmas eve.
My dh is going to be out of touch for the next week, because he has to go to what I call camping for the army. Before he is release to his real army job. He is almost done with AIT!! Which I am extremely proud of his accomplishments.
Since he will be out of touch for a while we will kinda be at a standstill with some decisions. But I guess that all comes with the territory of being married to a solider right?
Now I have to find ways to keep myself busy while he is gone. Which I should have no problems with that because of school and the move!
I guess life is what it is and I will put on foot in front on the another. So have a wonderful weekend!

Navigating my life

Here I was just two days ago thinking that the craziness was coming to an end. Ha! I was sadly mistaken! I am ending some challenges but taking on new ones! I guess life is not suppose to be boring or easy.
I am taking everything in stride, at least. My oldest son, just graduated from Pre-k. I do not know whether to be sad or happy. I am so proud of his accomplishments this year! He has grown up, right before my eyes. From learning to write his name to learning what it means at young age to be an Army son. I am so grateful that God has blessed me with a son who has such a beautiful heart!
As you know I am moving in 1 week! I am very excited and scared at the same time. My husband will be home from AIT soon. So I am busy preparing for this all.
Then my dh throws a major road block in my plans. It's not a bad one, just something that could complicate things a little. But the details will be saved for another day. Just simply because I am not quite sure of the details.
We have had limited talk time this week, due to our conflicting schedules. My dh and I have been very busy this week. Hopefully we can have time to sort things out together and have a plan of action.
I want to leave you with something somebody put on status shuffle on facebook. It went something like this
" God has given me this life,because he knew I was strong enough. That is how I live my life as an Army wife!"

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Almost done with the craziness!!

I am starting to get really excited about the move and being able to decorate a new space. I know I will not be there long but at this point I really don't think that matters. I want to make this apartment home for me and my boys while my dh is gone.
My dh is getting excited about his TDY, coming home and coming home to a new place! I want to have as much unpacked as possible but we will see what all I can get done. It is starting to look like the Mississippi River may throw a monkey wrench into my plans :(
Where I am currently located, my family and I should be okay. Though I am currently keeping a close eye on things. The only problem I see so far is if they have to open the Morganaza spillway. My quick route to my new apartment may no longer be used so it may delay or take longer then plan to move. I won't know anything for a couple of days.
All I can say is my life is anything but boring since my husband left. But I am working my way through it!

Hope all is well for everyone!
