Together at Last

Well, it has been a while since my last post so I decided I probably should update everyone!

 Nathan Graduated from AIT on April 5th 2013 and we were so happy to be there and support him. We then had the opportunity to go to Sea World, and explore down town San Antonio. It was lots of fun. Our friends, Scott and Kenzi got to be there as well. They drove with me, which was so nice. Don't know what i would have done with out them. Thanks again guys. You guys ROCK!

 

After spending some time in San Antonio, we then drove 8 hrs. to El Paso, Texas. Our new Home =) This is a picture of the Beautiful View that we get to enjoy every night out our Balcony Window. We love our apartment so far. It is kind of located in the middle of no where, but we enjoy it. It is about 20-25 mins from post, which isn't terrible. It could definitely be worst.

 It has been so wonderful to be together again. Couldnt be happier.  I am so grateful to be able to wake up next to my honey every morning. To be able to make Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for him. To be able to eat together, to pray together, go to church together.....

And to raise this precious little boy together.

Life is great, now I just need to get myself involved, meet other Army Wives... and make more Friends! Wish me LUCK. =)

Talk to you soon

Sitting, Waiting,Wanting, and Wishng

My poor little man

Well, it has been three days since I talked to my Husband last, and I have eight more days until I can talk to him again. He is currently at Camp. The last part of his AIT training, which means No Cell Phones. It is so hard not being able to talk to him. I feel as if it is even worse than when he was at Basic. We could at least write letters, which made it a little more bearable. 

I think one of the hardest parts about being an Army Wife, is the decisions and Responsibilities. For example, Decklyn had a TERRIBLE night. He has developed this hideous cough, and his breathing was not healthy sounding, whatsoever. Lets just say... I did NOT get very much sleep. I was awake at 5 this morning, debating whether to take him to the ER or not. I decided to take him, because I rather be safe, other than Sorry. He is ok, they said it was some type of Respiratory Virus. However, I hate not being able to get my husbands opinion on things like that. And I am sure that every Army Wife feels that way at one point or the other. Its hard, NO Doubt. I am away from my husband, and sometimes all I can do is CRY. But at the end of the Day... I couldn't be a prouder wife.

Yes, life is hard right now. However, I am so very Blessed. I have a wonderful husband who would do anything for our family. I couldn't have married a better man, and I thank my Father in Heaven everyday for bringing us together. Then I have the CUTEST, sweetest little son. He is my life. As I hold him in my arms, I admire everything about him. His perfect skin, his perfect eyes, and that sweet little nose! I honestly don't know what I would do without him. I have a great life, and I am thankful for every second of it. Do I wish I was with my husband right this minute??? Well uh YEAH, I DO! But it will be here soon, maybe not as soon as i would like it to be. But Soon. And I know that through this all, I am becoming a stronger and better person. Only Two more Weeks!!! YAy. So excited.

Four Weeks in Counting

I am so excited. My Husband is graduating AIT in just 4 weeks, which means we can be together again. We have been apart for almost 6 months, and if you ask me... that is wayyyy too LONG. I miss him so much! He is such a wonderful man and I am so very blessed to be his wife. I am so grateful for him and all he does for our family. It will be nice to be able to live under the same roof again. I also look forward to Decklyn getting to know his Father. He was born while he was gone and has only had the chance to see him 2 weeks out of 4 months. It will be so sweet to watch them bond and get to know one another.

This Last Year or So...

I met this Man.

We got to know each other.

Decided we were perfect for each other.

Tied the Knot.

Prepared for our little Man.

My wonderful Husband joined the Army to Provide for Our Family.

Then came the Baby.

Decklyn got to meet his father just in time for Christmas.

Farewell, until next time.

Now we wait to be reunited as a Family again!

He just received his Official Orders to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. I have heard a lot of Good and Bad things about  El, Paso but I choose to be Optimistic and I look forward to the new Adventure. We recently found a beautiful apartment off Base and are looking forward to living together again. It has been so hard being apart. But what doesn't kill ya, makes you stronger. Right?
