i'll be home for christmas...
I was talking to my mom the other day and she mentioned how it'll be almost exactly 2 years that i have been gone when I move back to florida. Wow, two years. I can hardly believe it! It doesnt seem that long ago that I was so torn up about leaving everyone, but very happy to be reuniting with my husband and moving to california. And now it's the opposite. I'm being reunited with family and friends, but my husband is leaving for a year. As long as we are an Army family, there will always be someone missing. But as long as I have someone there, its ok. Its a trade off. Its bittersweet. But I know the year will fly by, and besides how much I'm going to miss Chris, I am really really excited about moving back home. Once the house is fixed up, I'll finally have a place to call my own. No noisy neighbors living above or right beside me. A big back yard for Jenny to play in. It's going to be SO great! Then theres all the support I'll have. Any time I'm having a bad day, I know I'll have a slew of people to call on for help. And I can't WAIT to show little Nathan off!! He has so many people eagerly waiting to meet him, and they are just going to LOVE him! : )
Speaking of Nathan, things are going great. I still have my moments that I just feel completely exhausted and sometimes frustrated. But all in all I have a really amazing baby. Last night he slept for six hours straight!!!! I couldnt believe it!!! Then, he went back to sleep and slept for a little more than 2 hours! So I'm feeling pretty well rested right now. Plus, since he is now down taking a nap, I took the time to shave my legs and do this facial thingy, so I'm all fresh and cleeeeeeeeeean! I think Im going to go lay down and relax now.
