I started this blog on the first of January 2011 with the intention of blogging everyday through December 31st 2011 and most likely longer. However, I did not realize how difficult this deployment would be when I initiated this blog, so therefore, I have needed to take some sanity breaks, sometimes just because of vacations and things, other times just because I was exhausted and didn't feel up to it, and other times because I didn't really want to write what I was thinking and feeling. However, I still think I've only missed a handful of days maybe a week or two at most in seven months is pretty good, especially when it's purely my own motivation to do this :) And for anyone that cares to know I am a pretty optimistic person, but this deployment has also made me face the reality and not hide in my own little denial corner. It's kind of hard to do that with the things we are facing this time around.
I find hope in my relationship with Jesus, my family and my friends, and just getting through the daily tasks knowing I'm doing the best job back here at home. However, with all that said there are some pretty hard topics that my family and the other families of our deployed soldiers this time are facing and I think those thoughts need to be expressed too. So what it's worth I'm going to continue what I'm doing, if you like it, read it, if not, it won't offend me for you to hide me :) Thanks all, have a good night sleep, know that my husband is defending your freedom.
