A Fun Bestie Surprise

On Tuesday, I received a text message from Munchkin’s best friend’s mom (who, for now, lives in North Carolina). They were heading through our neck of the woods after visiting with family, and there was the possibility that we would be able to meet up. Back and forth the texting went as we plotted behind our daughter’s backs to get the two of them together if only for a short period of time as they made their way from point A to point B. It was hard not to say anything as I was excited that Munchkin was going to…

So, as I wrote yesterday, we found out on Friday that D was being deployed for a year. His package was being put together, and we were getting things in order at our end. As I’m on the phone with our bank on Tuesday evening, D walks in and asks what I’m doing. I hold up the card, and he asks if it’s deployment related. I nod, and he tells me that he’s not going. I figure he’s doing his normal joking thing, so I smile and give him the normal “right…” look. He tells me that he’s serious, and…

Time for Another Deployment

Posted in Family, and Military Life

On Friday, we learned that we were about to face another year long deployment. **sigh** This is the second time that we’ve moved only to have Daddy deploy shortly after moving. There is something about him going to a billet outside of his MOS that seems to land him in a position to be sent off on a deployment. Gotta love that. In theory, this time around will be easier than last time as he should have regular communication with us. We’ll see how it all plays out as the year passes by. I truly believe that the Lord knew…

Unpacking and Organizing

Posted in Family, and Military Life

It’s pretty crazy around here right now. We’re still working on finishing up the unpacking. We have piles around the house because many of our bookshelves didn’t make the move with us plus the movers broken some of our other storage. Thankfully, we do have our main bookcases set up, so I can see those books. Our additional library will have to wait until we either purchase more bookcases or D makes me more – whichever his schedule allows. The moving company is coming by tomorrow (Wednesday) to pick up the debris (boxes and packing material) from the move. I need…

Getting Back into the Blogging Groove

Posted in Family, and Military Life

After nearly a month and a half of internet only on my phone unless we hit the library, I finally have high speed internet again. It’s something that I took for granted, so it was a wake-up call not to have even dial-up available. What it did allow was lots of great time to be spent with Munchkin (and D when he was around). Our time at the cabin, while not always relaxing, was refreshing. We are now getting settled into our new place in CA. Yes, we still have the cabin and will continue to work on it as…
