Let me just say today is my 2nd day of blogging and I'm so tired from driving 20 hours in the last two days I really do not feel like writing. I know not a good start :) But the one thing I want to be is real and not fake so I'm just putting it out there.
So todays topic is my motto of saying see you again instead of goodbye. I'm not fond of crying in front of anybody so this helps some (but doesn't eliminate the crying altogether)! The month of December has been busy for our family with work, holiday get togethers, and visiting family. I loved the fact that my husband's family got to visit with us for a week. This is only the second time I've hung out with his family who lives in Canada. Then we turned around and made the trip back to the East coast where I'm from to visit my family which had been a little over two years since we'd been there. We had some great times, took tons of pictures, and have some great memories. But there is always the matter of saying goodbye which I have to be honest and admit I cried some when saying goodbye to my family. I never thought I would stay in the midwest when venturing out to college but my home really has become where the heart is (some of it remains in my home state, and the rest of it is in the state my hubby and I have chosen to make our home).
I loved the modern convenience of technology of facebook and skype to connect with my famly and friends that live far away from me. However, it is hard to be away from my family at times so if I use my self talk of I'll see them again it makes it easier to cope with than the more definate goodbye. I think my motto also comes from having to say goodbye countless times to my husband, sometimes over half a dozen times before a deployment actually starts just to do training and other military related things that take him away from home.
