Heavy hearted...

I'm sitting here...in silence...except for some music I have playing.  I've been on the verge of tears off and on all morning.  It looks as though my husband may have to deploy to Afghanistan in October.  When he told me that yesterday..my heart sank.  Everything he's going to miss flashes before me....Brianna being separated from her Daddy---again. 

The bad thing is that it seemed like an answer to prayer two days ago.  See, last time he was deployed, he reenlisted for Ft. Sill so we could buy a home here and I could be close to my family.  At that time, he was promised 3 years (at least) stabilization.  Well, the unit he's in just up and decided that they are deactivating in December.  They say, which I think is a bunch of bull, that there are no openings for him on the whole post.  If you know us personally, you know just how much we've been screwed by the Army.  So.....it's either PCS and uproot us or deploy.  We agreed before buying this house that I'd stay here...in OUR home...raise Brianna in this town...no matter what.  I'm not a fan of moving around all of the time.

It's all just a big mess! 

It's nearing 2:30..I have to go pick up Brianna Boo.

oh honey. I am sooooooo very sad for you. If I was there I would wrap my arms around you, I know how it feels to move around. Much love to you sister!

Hey Sweetie!
I know EXACTLY what you're going through being an Army Housewife myself and having to move around a lot too. Plus, my husband has been deployed to Iraq and will deploy again in just a few short months AND we're about to PCS as well in a few short months to Ft. Hood, Texas. I know the feeling of not wanting "Daddy" to miss anything. New moves are never easy. The life we live is not an easy one either. I wish you the best and hope you keep strong while he's away. I'm here if you need me.
XOXO

Calling All {A}ngels It's Monday--a new week with a fresh perspective. :) How did your weekend go? Our's was pretty relaxing. We rented some movies and vegged out in front of the tv. My favorite movie was "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Super cute movie! Hmmm....kind of makes me wonder if I have that problem. Nah...I just need a little retail therapy every once in a while. :) And thank you all for your kind comments on my last post. I apologize---I try to keep my blog an upbeat place. But, I can't promise I won't need to vent every once in a while..LOL...
