D. Day!

Again .. once again ... we packed his bags and dropped him off.

This is twice in a year and although I think it will get easier. It does not.. and it only does not because of our growing family.

As a mom and wife I find being a Military Wife rewarding and a life of learning to be independent. That means although it is not easy .. I HAVE to make it work and well... I always do make it work because my family needs me to.

I am thankful this go around to have an amazing support system and a close friend who has a husband gone with mine.

So lets recap...
6:00am comes early  Mike was getting ready and I on the other hand had heavy eyes and a heavy heart. We got May ready and headed on base to get Mike checked in...

the day was spent with a breakfast, church , Revenge (the show) and grocery shopping. Thank you Lauren for helping us today! I know we have a long road ahead of us but I know with our friendship we will concur this Deployment!

Forever My Blog...

Hello,

I have been LOST!

Lost in a world of family, work, being a mommy, being a wife, skating.. and well the list goes on....

but as I always say this blog have always been here waiting for my in my "Pursuit of Happy-Ness".

2014 has been busy and coming to a end soon.

So here I am in December trying my best to complete the month in blogging about the random things that will occur in my life for the month of December and I am hoping that in that time.. I will lead into the first month of 2015 blogging my life away .. and preserving moments that will last forever.

Hello 2014,

Living on the coast makes NEW YEARS always weird. 

All my life I have been used to the ball dropping in the northern time zone.. right at midnight... right along with the TV. 

Here in FL every year is drops at 11.. you say YAY understand it is not the right time where you live.. and wait.. another hour!!! :) and :(

This year it was filled with a lunch date to start the day off.. it has just been Mayana and I for sometime... and well having playdates with amazing friends is always helpful.. 

McDonalds here we come and Mayana got a gift from her sweet friends. These two little ones have been in our lives for a LONG TIME.. and always make us smile! They are such smarties in the making cause of their amazing momma.

We than took a trip to Target with Ms. Lauren and headed home to get ready for some fun at our place. Mayana's FL God Parents were headed over to hang out...

We grilled out ...played games.. and tried to stay up way past our time.

We got our first official call and he has landed! <3 br="">

The Day That Has Made Me Strong Again...

I have always been pretty independant... I thank my dad and Mike for that. They are the two men in my life that push me to want more... 

However.. I am a new, working mommy... and sometimes lost in the mix and playing catch up.. and in the middle of all of it ... I fall short and rely on Mike to help... 

for today Dec. 29. 2013 I become INDEPENDENT again...

We woke up early... the house was was quiet... the morning was filled with barks, baby crys, the sounds of bags packing and just a little past ten the sound of the clippers getting ready to give the standard military haircut. 

Just a few hours later.. lunch at panera.. and solid CYA LATER on base. I never cry in front of him.. I won't allow myself...for back in the day.. crying was not allowed every lady during the WWII era wanted to leave a solid imagine of themselves in their other half's head.. and that has always been my motto... I do however get in the car and drive off and once I hit a certain spot the tears always fall... my future will be different for awhile it will take some adjustment to be the long list of things that I need to be for my FAMILY!

... way different.. it will be filled with just me being mom, working, derby... and relying on a village to help raise my child.

I would be lying to you if I did not say I see tears in my future...... I do .. but they are tears of someone who is trying.. trying hard to be the best I can be at everything I am given in life.. 

May the next few months go by fast! May the continue to be blessed and may we be looked after..
