Hi everyone! This is my first attempt at blogging. We shall see how this goes. I created this blog because I wanted to share my experiences with everybody and I don't always have enough time in my day to sit down and have a real conversation with everyone. So this was a way that I can keep all of my friends and family informed on what is going on in my life. So here goes!
Today I have been here at Fort Hood for 34 days. It feels more like a year! I miss my friends and family SO much! I miss my everyday life back home. BUT... in 5 days and a wake up..I will be in the arms of my 3 girls and my dear sweet hubby. I'm so proud of Jake. He has had a hard time without me. I think he is finally starting to understand that it's not always that you have a clean house, or what the kids ate for dinner but more importantly it's more like, "Did I live today to the fullest"? Or "Did my girls have a fantastic day"? I'm sad that I am going to miss a full year of their life but I am so lucky to have a husband that can provide for them in more ways than a normal dad can. I mean come on, seriously, what dad would take the time learn how to ride a horse! I feel confident in going to Iraq, knowing that my girls are going to be ok. I know that Jake will not let them be without the things that I provide for them. I probably wouldn't have said that a month ago, but now I know. Life can go on. It KILLS me to say that but I know they will be fine.
Well, it's 11:30 here and I am exhausted. I get to sleep in tomorrow but I have a long day ahead of me. We have 3 more days of training and it will all be over! I can't wait until this trip is over!
