Our time apart is finally nearing an end!!! He comes home on May 4th- I can't wait! :) A few days after he gets back we will begin our journey to Florida. Yikes thats gonna be a long trip with 2 kids under 5! I read up on how to keep the kids entertained in the car for long periods and got some pretty good ideas - I hope. One idea is to buy them little gifts - and when they start making you totally crazy , you give them one. So far I bought them each a lap desk and a color wonders coloring book. I need some more ideas :/

I find myself saying omg is he ever coming home - it seems the closer it gets the longer the days are. I can't wait to have my husband home every night, for my children to have their father. We have a marriage that people dream about. Its not perfect - but its damn close :) I'm sad I have to leave my entire family behind. I adore my family. I am one of those lucky people that has a genuine, wonderful, loving family. I hate taking my kids away from them.

Thank God for skype! At least the kids can talk to the fam whenever they want to. It has also been the way I get to talk to my hubby every day. SO much better than a phone!

I am hoping the kids adjust quickly to our new base. They will finally have their own rooms again! My son ( age 4) is really excited about this. I hope we get a great house on base, but you know what, even if the house sucks we will make it great. We will fill it with love and laughter and make it our home.
