So I had to start fresh with this whole blogging thing, I forgot my username and password!! Boo. Okay, 3 months ago in my previous Blog "My Thoughts Exactly... Hooah" (http://mythoughtsexactlyhooah.blogspot.com/2010/07/10-days-till-big-pcs.html) there's the link, so u can catch up on us!
I left off during our PCS. Wow was that an experience. Glad it's behind us and we are finally settled in at Ft Campbell!!!

Thank God for all our many tremendous blessings! We have a beautiful home on post, and we are finally ; after a year of moving a, family once again! It has been a hard road with it's shares of ups and downs, but all and all I can honestly say it was well worth the struggles!
My amazing soldier came home from training in Tx. just last night he was gone a measley 3 weeks but Geez if it didnt seem like months!! Although we are fairley new to this military lifestyle, I find it very hard to even comtemplate the day when I "get used" to being away from the other half of my soul!! We have physicaly been in the ARMY for 15 months and out of this time 6 months of it we have spent together. I can say this, one of the most rewarding things about being an Army wife is watching my husband succede and do something that he loves to do! I feel enourmous pride for the man my husband has become through this entire experience.
Yes, we waited 4 months for housing on post, I thought that by jumping the gun 2 months before arriving to Ft Campbell I would have allowed us enough wiggle room to have a home waiting. BOY, was I wrong!! Needless to say 3 months later and count-less motel stays we were offered a home! We moved in on the 30th of Sept. and a week later they shipped my hubbs off yet again for training.
AHHH Army!!! I have a LOVE- HATE relationship with you!!
Our New Home! Ft Campbell, KY Oct. 2010 |
So now, we get to spend the amazing holiday's together as a family, and very shortly after that he will ship off to go down range for AN ENTIRE year... minus R&R of course! Wow this life is an emotional roller-coaster and when its up, man is it good!!! But, when its down its pretty LOW!!! I often find myself driving down the road thinking .. A YEAR??? How can I do this, but in all actuality women... (strong women), The ones that actually hold down the fort and stay faithful to their men, do this every day, every second, every month and every year. I am poud to be able to have the passion and will to be one of those women. Because our men do a much honerable thing. Defend the country that we so very often take for granted!!
I am amazed at how some of the women I have me here in good ol' KY are dealing with the stresses. I see the good and the bad!! From the outside looking in to this life you can tend to see a very jaded view, from the inside looking out , however, it's quite clear! One thing I do know for sure is, I will cherish every moment spent as a family and as for my soldier.. forever, for always, and no matter what!!! I will wait for you!! I think thats enough ranting and raving for tonight.... until my next blog those were my Thought's Exactly..... <3
