Sorry.
The blogging break started out unintentional and then became intentional.
It was nice.
I have felt uninspired recently. You need to be inspired to write a blog post? Yes.
While I was gone on my search of inspiration...we celebrated a few things around here.
My husband and I celebrated 9 years of marriage!!!
I LOVE this guy right here...
Yes, I even love that he loves to fish!
Marriage is work. Marriage is hard. Marriage is the greatest blessing God has given me.
These 9 years have not been easy...while some have been hard...others have been amazing.
We have had to learn to live through deployments and after deployments, through loss of a child, through loss of a job, through the army (anyone in the military knows how tough that can be alone).
But...my husband has come home from the deployments, we have 4 beautiful girls, we are in the military family (it is a blessing and a curse, I tell ya), we have grown up together....experienced life together.
We have had crazy laughs and hard cries.
He to this day can make me laugh even if I don't want to.
We work well together.
I get him.
He knows me better than anyone.
This past year and a half, our vows have been put to the test.
(You take vows for a reason...if marriage was easy, you wouldn't need the vows).
But while they have been put to the test, we have been blessed to have each other to get through the tough times. We are now having to learn how to live a new normal. Life for us will never be the same as it was before JT deployed to Afghanistan. ( I am being vague, but I will elaborate more later.)
I love this man with all my being!
He is my gift from God.
And when you strip everything away....he is my BEST friend.
Knowing what I know now....I would still say "I do." all over again.

We also celebrated Lil' C turning 1!!
She is so fun!
She lights up when any member of the family walk in the room....especially her Daddy.
She still wake at night...but it is getting better.
She growls.
Head butts...but in a loving way.
She puts everything in her mouth ( you never realize how dirty your house is until your baby is mobile).
She claps.
She has an ear piercing squeal.
She kisses.
She tries hard to repeat any word you ask her to.
She is getting curls.
She likes to make a mess.
She likes to share....for now.
Her eyes are changing...probably to brown.
She loves peek a boo.
She wishes she could have dairy and chocolate...oh...wait...that is me!
AND she walks everywhere!
When she falls, she gets back up...she doesn't sit there and cry about it. I think I could learn a lot from her.
I love you Campbell Rose!!!
