The days are just flying by. Ive heard people wish for more hours in a day... heck I have said it myself. I wish it still sometimes when my to do list gets out of control. I am T minus 39 days until Shawn gets home and I wish there were LESS hours in the day so he would just be here already. I miss him terribly even when we squabble on the phone about something stupid I wish I could see his face while we are being stubborn. I miss so many things about him. I remember when we were dating, we were both busy working on active duty and going to school. We were on opposite shifts so it was hard to see each other and when did it was usually snuggled on the sofa each of us lost in a text book... I would take that over days on end of not seeing each other any day. I am a strong independent woman I could even go a whole year apart but I am only human if I long for my wonderful husband.
In other news I am down to two kiddos, I had three for a while, talk about BUSY. I have never been a parent before so this is all a learning experience. I can say though by the time we have our own I will be a pro!! Just "J" who is now a year old we threw a wonderful 1st Birthday for her! As well as another little one "D" who is now 10 weeks. They make me smile every day, I love them both to pieces!! It will be hard to see "J" go but I remind myself daily they are not mine and I am just supposed to love them and keep them safe until fate decides other wise. I never used to be so carefree and easy going in my thinking I have my husband to blame and thank for that. We have been fostering for a year now and have had 6 different kids come into our lives, they have all stolen our hearts and taught us so many things along the way. I look forward to so many years to come of these innocent kids coming into our home and lives. My family has been wonderful about embracing them and making them feel like they are part of the family its so awesome to see. More people need to do this and I know it takes a special kind of person but not really all you have to do is love them and keep them safe. So many NEED that and there are so many that can give that but are afraid to put forth the effort. I hope to turn more people onto fostering.
Went to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert last night with my Dad & Step Mom... It was AMAZING! He has such an astounding life story that is touching, moving, sad but energetic and renewing all at once. It was nice to get out of the house for a little bit as well of course. Right now its nap time and the sound of silence is beautiful! I have many of things to be doing but have made a personal promise to blog more. To share our story, for family & friends to see what we are up to, & maybe even en spire, creative outlet.
I hope everyone is well, summer is almost officially upon us.... with a pool now I couldnt be more excited to roast in the sun!!!
