Halloween

So it is Halloween. I just thought I would write about my plans and whats going on. This week my mom flew out from georgia to be with my daughter and i while my husband is gone. She has been such a huge help to us. I don't know how I would have made it through without her. For Halloween we dressed my daughter up as an elephant and I was a mouse. She was soo cute, we took her to a couple houses in my friends neighborhood. It was nice. I am very grateful to have soo many people in my life that love me. I have a lot of help from friends and family, it makes it a little easier on me. I would love to live closer to home but being in the military you really gain a whole other family within. My coworkers come together and we are all like one big extended family.

Half Way

So we are half way through this semester and it has gone by pretty fast. I am doing my paper on organ donation which I really feel strongly about this subject. I am for organ donation and am writing my paper on the opt-out system. The system we have now is opt-in which means you have to "apply" to be an organ donor. This is terrible now because the amount of organ donors we have to the amount of people who need organs is drastically different. Hopefully people will get on board with this program in the future. The great thing about this program is that if you don't want to be an organ donor all you would have to do is fill out a paper. Next week our first draft is due hopefully I will get it finished in time to turn it in to the writing center. The writing center is a wonderful resource! Thank you, until next time!

Week 4

So it is week 4 in class which is crazy how fast it is going,and it is week 2 in my husbands deploymet. I am counting down the days till he comes home! My daughter will be 9 months old in a few das which I tink is crazy. So far my looking at everythng as glass half full is working out for me. I am a much happier person and not so stressed out. I am attempting to get my school work all done early so i'm not rushing all the time. It seems though that I am a procrastinator just like my husband. My Abigael is doing so good she will be walking on her own very soon. She can walk if I holdher hands which is still really good. I am such a proud mommy! Speaking of, I am so lucky my mom is coming t visit me for haloween. We are going to take Abigael trick-or-treating, she is dressing up as an elephant, she will be adorable.

My life so far this week

I am 21 with an 8 month old on my own for the next 6 months. I have a wonderful husband who is deployed right now. We are both active duty so I know how these things work and should be used to it by now. It's different when it's your husband overseas rather that sympathizing with someone else. Our best friend was deployed last year and his wife was at our house all the time. We were there for her as much as we could be but our daughter was just born. Now that I am in her position this year it outs things into a whole new perspective. I see exactly where she was coming from with her sadness she had. I am really trying to look at all of the positives of this situation as much as I can but all in all it is an unfavorable situation. On the bright side 6 months away from my husband can only make the special bond we have even stronger.
