Just Breathe.....

Daddy And Lucy

As you can tell from my previous post ( way back in January) that this is my second attempt to put into words the craziness of my everyday life. I am currently going through some HUGE challenges in my life and because of that, I am forced to make some changes that our ultimately changing and altering who I am. But for the better. I am becoming stronger then I ever thought I could be! I am raising two baby girls while my husband fights for this countries freedom. So during these times, good and bad, I  feel rushed. I never feel like I have enough time to sit back and take it all in. So this blog is not only a tool to use to document my life, but hopefully something to help me remember all the times, that at the time, I thought were not so great. Because in reality, it's all about the climb. And yes, I totally quoted Miley Cyrus. But the girl was right. It may not be an easy road but it's my road. I have been wishing the whole year of 2011 to come and go in the blink of an eye. I was dreading the second that the ball dropped and a new year began. I knew it wouldn't be easy. But now, I don't want to EVER forget this year. Truth is, it is going by fast. Which also means my kids are growing fast. I don't know what it is about kids, but you put them to bed little babies and they wake up toddlers! How selfish of me to wish that their childhood go any faster then it already would. Now obviously I knew there wasn't a time machine that GOD would press a button and the world would just fast forward to 2012. But figuratively speaking, life is short and you need to enjoy the ride while it last.

Ok, so the biggest challenge this year has brought is a pretty tough one. Like I stated earlier, my husband is a United States Marine. Is it weird that I get chills every time I say it? I am so proud of him. Anyways, in January, duty called. And duty called him for 13 months!!!!!!!!! So like I said earlier, 2011 couldn't come and go quick enough. But it's here, and he is gone, and me and the kid's are taking it day by day. I am so blessed and fortunate to be able to stay home and watch my babies grow! They are what gets me through the day. We are all new at this deployment thing but we are handling it together! And since their daddy can't be here to watch them grow this year, I pray that he can read this blog and feel at peace. That he can refer to this blog whenever he needs a little piece of home! Also I hope it continues to remind me to just breathe and stay strong!We love you daddy. Be safe!
