Tick Tock

Let the countdown to RnR begin!

With Mr. W finally on his way home my excitement grows as well as the length of my days because he is so close but so far away. But I know he'll be here soon and thats all that matters! This is going to be a very exciting and fun vacation for us because not only will Mr. W be home but we will be going to Michigan to visit the family and celebrate Lilly's first birthday!

~ 11 DAYS ~

I AM AN ARMY WIFE

I am an army wife. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I got married, I knew that there would be good times and bad times, as well as times when I may get lonely, overwhelmed, and feel like absolutely everything is out of my control. But I also knew when I married Mr. W that all the loneliness, and stress would be worth it. Just knowing that he will soon be back in my arms and that he is doing a wonderful thing for our country makes the time pass a little bit easier.

I am an army wife. I have been in the worlds most difficult long distance relationship so don't go comparing your long distance relationship to mine... they are completely different unless you've been in a relationship with a service member.

Don't tell me you know what is like to spend months away from one of the most loved people in your life, whom you barely get to talk to, who is in danger everyday, and who you know is in a place where things could turn bad at a moments notice... because NEWS FLASH... YOU DON'T KNOW

Don't whine to me that you and your significant other don't get to spend your days together,

Don't whine to me that you are feeling "deprived" when you haven't had any "action" in TWO WHOLE WEEKS,

Don't whine to me because your significant other works "so far away"

AND

Don't whine to me that you are stressed

because frankly... I am NOT the person to get sympathy from in these situations and I could careless about your problems compared to what I deal with.

and this concludes my vent of the week.

One Year Older

Today was my 20th Birthday, and even though my family and husband weren't able to be here, it was still a very good birthday thanks to a friend of mine... Jeanette and her kids. She not only took me to lunch and helped me with Lilly but she also made us dinner and this ADORABLE cake...

And her daughter made me those super cute bracelet ...

 Thanks for another great birthday everyone :D

Patience

It's hard not to get excited knowing that Mr.W will be home before we know it. I want to plan all the thing we are gonna do and have everything prepared for him, but this can be hard to do when you don't know the exact date that he is going to be here. So I just have to be patient.

just knowing how much longer it is going to be makes a day feel like a week and a week feel like a months sometimes... time has never gone by so slowly in my entire life. I am doing the best I can to keep my self busy to make the time go by more quickly but that doesn't always do the trick, some things don't seem to take as long as they used to...

Laundry used to take all day now its only seems like a few hours,

Dishes went from a half an hour to 15 minutes,

general pick up around the house went from an hour to 30 minutes,

The saying is time flies when your having fun, so maybe I should try to do some more fun things instead of doing chores! any suggestions?
