Life has changed some. We are now in Hawaii stationed at Schofield and settling into our beautiful new home. Right now you probably couldn't tell how much I love it because it's messy, but I try hard to take care of it and have it reflect the way I feel. We're lucky to be in this beautiful place.
We've lived in the house a month and been in Hawaii for 2 months. At first I was quite lost and frustrated with the roads here, but I'm used to them now and whenever I am in doubt I pull out my handy dandy GPS. It drives Mike crazy how much I use it, especially when he thinks I don't need it, but he's the one who thought it'd be a good idea to get it! lol Plus there probably are times that I plug it in and use it just because. ;O)
Michael isn't here with us. He went back to live with his Mom in Florida. It's tough and sad but it was for the best and even though I could share that crappy turn of events, I won't. His mother can share her version if you really want to know. Good luck to those of you who have no idea who she even is!
Moving here we were facing a 3rd deployment but as you read I said 'were'. It's good and bad on several different levels, but at the end of the day I am grateful I won't have to worry about Mike or have him away for another year. Wondering why he isn't deploying still when his unit leaves in a few weeks?? Well that's because my stinkin' husband broke his knee 3 days before we flew to Hawaii.
Yes that is my husband....he's never been good at his timing but it is always a comical turn out. I'm not saying that him breaking his leg and ripping his ACL is funny, but when things turn out crazy sometimes all you can do is find the funny silver lining. He already had his first surgery and is recovering/going through physical therapy but it's a long process. Even though he wants to deploy he won't be fit to for atleast 6 months and that's only if the surgery went well. Time will tell.
As for now we found out today he will be on RearD but if he has anything to say about that, it won't last long.
Rebekah is almost done with school. She has a week left and then will graduate to 1st grade. It's hard watching her and Jayce grow every day. She gets bigger, smarter, and more independent that even though I am proud and grateful, it breaks my heart to know these days and these years are going so quickly. Especially with Bekah Boo because she's already almost 7 and I'll never have her like I did the first day she came home. *sigh* Staying away from that emotion....she loves the Beach!! She loves to swim, and she loves to "Surf". It is only a matter of time before Mike gets her a long board and can teach her how to really surf. I am enjoying the days of just boarding and not having to worry about the ocean swallowing up my baby. Issues?? Yeah I may have a few, but they are just mama fears.
Life has been an adjustment but a beautiful one. It certainly is beautiful here. A lot like most towns and cities in the rest of the US but much prettier views. As I move on each day and try to do a little more to get us settled, I spend many moments just trying to take it in and realize I am really on my own now, with my own family, like a real adult :O) Scary!! lol
