This is going to be fun. I have many times in my life tried to write. But as I have always worked with my hands, they have trouble holding a pen or pencil for long periods of time.
So when my husband Dallas started to blog, and now my dear friend Lori Craig... I thought "hey this may work for me"... So here we go.
June 08
This past year and a half started of pretty rough. We had little time to think much less prepare. Big Dallas had to make a decision to leave us here in Oklahoma and PCS to Georgia, find a home for us to live in , get things ready in the new house , then leave us in a matter of months that turned into about 14 months. (did you get all that?)
When your first child graduates high school and then moves out to start his own life all in 1 month things really make you think. But hey I am truly happy in the young man he has become. He has a beautiful girlfriend that keeps him in check and he seems to enjoy his new job. (would have liked to see him in the Navy, but you can't have everything) . I just hope that everything that we have tried to teach him and share our experiences and take it to heart. He is a great son!!
Christian has decided to hang with his friends this Summer, that's fine with me. He's helping with Abbi as I have started a new schedule at work.
Abbi has been involved in her Cheerleading this week, so that is one way to move this slow Summer along.
So now we are off to another year without my husband. Big D started a new job and will be in Kuwait for another year. This is so that Christian can stay here and graduate with is friends and not have to worry about starting over in a new state(like we are so use to doing every 3 years) I believe that this year will be full of surprises and great rewards. But there is one thing I do hope for and that this year goes by fast. I miss my Best Friend. When you are married for as long as we have been and have traveled to many places together, it's just not the same. You learn to make friends outside your spouse and that is hard as well. But I think that being picky is ok. I know who my friends are and they know who I am.
Well for my first ever blog, I think this will due for tonight.
Take care my friends

Lori, I am so glad you are doing this! Your story is so unique and worth telling.
I know you miss Dallas and none of your Army family can replace him, but we'll sure try to keep your mind off him being gone.
I can't wait to read how your blog unfolds.
Lori,
I am happy to hear your good friends with Lori Craig. I'm sure this year is going to keep you busy! That is always helpful when you husband is deployed. Take care.
Andrea
