Homecoming Outfit Strike Out

   So tonight I went shopping with another army wife. The whole idea was to get a homecoming outfit for the welcome home ceremony that is fast approaching. I didn't find anything that I like so I'm not sure what I'm going to end up wearing. However, we did get new swim suites ad we enjoyed getting to catch up with each other.

Girl's Night

   Tonight I got to hang out with one of my girl friends. We went out for a quick bite to eat and then to see The Vow. I thought it was a cute movie. Nice to take a break after a full week.

Sister Time :)

   This evening my sister and I scrapbooked together via Skype. This way we get to catch up some and we get to work on our pictures of our families. I've scrapbooked since my youngest son was born, who is going to be seven in May. My sister got into scrapbooking when her daughter was born, who is three and a half. Last deployment (which is the scrapbook I'm still working on finishing) my hubby was in Iraq and I moved back home to Pennsylvania. It was a good decision for that season of my life. It was great to be able to hang out with my family and friends again. Anyways, it gave my sister and I an opportunity to hang out more and get some sister time in. She had her daughter about two months before Adam came back from his deployment and we moved back to Oklahoma. So yes, I took tons of pictures, I wanted Adam to be able to experience some of what was going on in our life and I knew being back in Pa was a season of our lives.
   My sister and I got together a few times to scrapbook when I lived there. When the deployment was over and I moved back to Oklahoma we made a pact to continue scrapbooking together via Skype. Have I mentioned I love Skype! It's helped keep me and the boys connected to Adam throughout the three deployments we have experienced too. So now I don't have to leave Adam at home with the boys, or get a babysitter for a night out, I simply hop online after the boys are tucked in for the night and pull my laptop out and scrapbooking supplies and wallah! Good times and it doesn't even cost either of us money for some good old quality sister time :)

Today was a better day :)

   Yesterday was a rough day, today was much better. I'm thankful to have the chance to regroup and start over fresh in the morning. There, I guess I have found something positive about the mornings. Other than that, I'm usually trying to drag myself out of bed and get the kids to school and me to work on time.  

Whew, What a Day!

   Today was crazy, busy, and productive day. I will not go into all the details but I am beyond grateful for some great friends and my sister that lent me a listening ear to vent some frustrations. I'm so glad that I don't have to do this life journey alone even when I can't just pick up the phone and call my man.

Back to Work

   Busy day at work. Ready to have a good week. Every day this month makes it one day closer to having my love back with me. :)

Extraordinary Women Conference

   This weekend is the Extraordinary Women Conference. Check out this music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKSQjSdU8VA. I'm thankful that God works through my imperfections. Today was a beautiful day for multiple reasons :) Looking forward to hearing some more wonderful speakers tomorrow.
