Let It Snow!!

We all really enjoyed our first snowfall in 8 years!! What a fun time! It's already melted but we look forward to our next, and our next after that!!

My Glass is Half Full...Mostly!

It an economic climate of wary looks and unsteady knees I really should express my great appreciation that my husband has a job.
We are very fortunate to get a paycheck every month.
We are so blessed to have wonderful health benefits, especially with appendixes needing removal and gashes needing stitching.
I am greatful that my husband enjoys his work and feels valued and challenged there.
I acknowledge the opportunities that come from relocation and travel.
I see the benefits of being a part of a military family.
...BUT...
I'm tired of him being gone!!
Just six months of togetherness is all I ask.
Just six months of seeing his face everyday.
Just six months of not having to worry about his safety every minute.
Just six months of childhood milestones he won't be missing.

I'm tired. For now I will just keep my chin up and my glass half full, focusing on all of my blessings. In a few weeks, when he gets home he can fill up the other half.
