Where has the time gone?

Hi there!

Well it's officially been 1 1/2 years since I last posted.  And let me tell you, my life has changed sooo much!

First off, in the Fall of 2011, my husband and I joined a wonderful church and got baptized at the ripe ol' age of 27.  It's never too late to change your life!

Second, in the Winter of 2011, my husband resigned from his job as a police officer and took a job as a contractor in Afghanistan.  That changed everything!

Fast forward nearly 18 months, and my husband is still contracting and I'm here in Georgia holding down the fort.  We have been able to maintain our family living nearly 3000 miles apart.  It's not easy.  It's stressful.  It's lonely.  But it's a sacrifice we are making and we KNOW that God's plan for us is great.

My first born is nearly 7 years old with 3 permanent teeth in her mouth!  She is in the 1st grade, can read, add, subtract, make her own peanut butter sandwiches, and give herself a bath.  These things are HUGE to me.  Where has my little baby gone to?

My second born is now 3 years old, potty trained, talking like nobody's business, and back to sleeping in my bed.  I still try to baby her, but then she acts like a typical 3 year old and I'm hunting the wooden spoon.  Seriously.

With these little updates, I hope to do this more.  I enjoy reading back on how much our lives have changed.  Not to mention, I have a lot on my mind.  And I know you probably do to.  So let's talk about it!

Peace.
