It rained last night!I am so thankful for the beautiful, nourishing, RAIN! We needed it SO bad!So, Isabela has been waking up ALOT at night. This is her way of missing her dad, I think. Last night, she crawled into the bed with me, and just passed out right away! I think she definitely feelsContinueContinue reading “Let it Rain!”

The worst part of the deployment process, to me, is the in between.Typically, you fly out of your home base, probably have a layover somewhere, then fly to a naval base, or army base, then fly to your port call, then fly out of the country.And from there, you might stop in 1,2,3,4, or evenContinueContinue reading “4 days later”

And just like that….he’s gone.The moment finally came. Yesterday, Chris and Isabela went on their final daddy daughter date. I was doing some light cleaning, and it finally hit me.

Worthy.At the same time, weContinueContinue reading “A confession of vanity.”

I tried, actually.I actually tried several times to post a blog! But I kept getting “Error,” time after time.So frustrating.Chris is deploying.Soon.I won’t say exactly when, for his safety and due to OPSEC rules.For a couple of months, I’ve refused to allow myself to even think about it. For several reasons, which are: We justContinueContinue reading “I tried”

Its been so long , I’m not even sure where to start.I’m not sure why I haven’t felt like blogging lately. We are still settling in, unpacking, doing projects, and having lots of fun in our new town. I can’t believe we are still unpacking at times….MY oh my how different it is to moveContinueContinue reading “early mornings”
