Promises

We didn't make any about being good at updating this did we?!?!?

Anyway, Chad has been overseas now for about 2.5 months and been back active now for 4.5 months. During this time we have spent a whooping 4 days together. Blah

Good news is: in less than 3 months we are meeting in Europe for 2 weeks of R&R together...it's ok to be jealous. After that - Chad might be home for the holidays! *Crossing my fingers he is home for our two year anniversary*

However - I'm not holding my breath as it could be next year before Chad makes it back. *sigh*

Incase you don't hear from us for awhile again - well hopefully that just means time is flying - we are both extremely busy, stressed, and mentally and physically exhausted from the strain this has put on us both. I didn't realize how much time life takes up when you have to do everything on your own. Simple tasks like getting an oil change become an adventure because you have to wait on the car. Also, grocery shopping is no where near as entertaining without the hubs. And, cooking by yourself for one is not as fun as cooking with your best friend for two - same amount of dishes (minus a plate and a fork) one less set of hands.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of us during all this. We know it's not easy for the people around us either! We have learned that family can mean so much more than blood - thanks to all of our wonderful friends out there - the journey is almost halfway over!
