It’s been a whirlwind 2 weeks.
Hubby came home on R&R on the 11th …
The Friday before, I spent most of the day with his aunt in Austin – apartment hunting for her and my very first visit to an IKEA store. On Saturday, I spent the day scouring the places in the house that hadn’t seen scouring for a while … places like window screens, etc. I was exhausted Saturday night, but managed to sleep well enough to be in ..read more
I started writing on Friday about all the stuff that’s happened in the last week – but things got hectic over the weekend…
Saturday was raid day for me, and I managed to get in on a 10man ICC AND a 25man ICC in one day. Came away with some phat lewtz tew. It was a good day.
Sunday was THE DAY! Except that it was cancelled in the evening. So THE DAY got moved to Monday and let me tell you ..read more
Since we haven’t been told which day exactly hubby is leaving, we sit and wait this week … wait for a phone call. One phone call that could come at any time – night or day – that will forever change our lives. It sounds dramatic, but I tell you that it is not untrue nor is it overstated.

He slipped yesterday saying he told someone that he was excited at going … and I smiled. I KNOW he’s excited about going. I ..read more
On Friday of last week, I stumbled on this post linked on twitter. (Incidentally, because I re-tweeted it, the blogger subsequently followed me … ha!). I shared it with a friend who then thanked me profusely for it because it gave them insight into love as it is for some in a way they had never before had the opportunity to see for themselves. Their parents were never married and so they never got to see this kind of thing ..read more
My Grandfather-in-law passed away early on Thanksgiving Day 2009. He had been ailing for some time and in desperate pain. I think everyone, while sad at his passing, was also relieved that he was finally at peace. For me, it was far more difficult than I had thought it would be. It put me in a foul mood all day – I was snippy and argumentative and irritable and then, finally, quick to tears when I managed to stop myself ..read more
