Rollercoaster
Everything changed again. We were told a few weeks ago that DM's R&R would be moved to sometime later in the year so I was really disappointed and grieved the loss of time with my husband. Today I got an e-mail saying that he might getting leave again. I'm excited to see him whenever it works out but it's really hard to keep getting my hopes up and having them destroyed over and over. I don't want to trust anything the Army says anymore - I don't even want to get excited about it because I don't want to be disappointed again. I know God will get us through this like he has gotten us through everything else but it's tough right now. Is this a struggle any of you have faced with military life or something else?

Recent events in the life of a nomad
So I'm back in Texas now.
The first weekend I was here I went to Austin with my mom for a La Leche League conference. I really just went to keep her company and visit with friends but it was fun. I got to see my dear friend Willow, she drove in from Waco and spent all day Saturday and Sunday morning with me. I also got to visit with a group of friends that I met in Arizona when my husband and I were there for one of his trainings. It was a great weekend.
Since then I've been back in South Texas with my families. I've been able to spend time with my parents and brother as well as my in-laws and two of my sisters-in-law. We've gotten to watch some movies, and swim, and shop and all kinds of fun stuff. We even got to Skype with DM one night when I was with his family. I've also gotten to see some other good friends and cousins. And I have been doing homework, much to everyone's surprise with the amount of time I have spent on social activities.
:)
One of the more difficult things that has happened recently is that my husband's two week leave got canceled or pushed back. We were planning for him to be in the states in early August but then things changed and now we have no idea when he will get a chance to travel back. So that's been hard but we're looking for positive things and we think it will be better if his leave is towards the middle of the deployment so it's downhill after he goes back. We're looking forward to seeing each other whenever it works out.
Well thanks for reading! Feel free to post questions or reply to my blogs if there's anything you would like me to write about.
