A Day in the Life...

SO I have an entire book happening in my head at all times. Most of it revolves around my busy new "civilian" life. I went from a quiet life in the mountains of West Point to settling into a life that often prevents me from knowing what day it is. I went from going a month (or two) without having to fill up my car with gas to daily traffic jams that make me want to pull my hair out. I barely have time to do any of my favorite past times: read (I've been reading Christine Kane's "How to Have and Do it All" for almost a year now- and haven't been able to get to the end of the book: the pot at the end of the rainbow, the advice of all advice that I desperately need (sigh) because I don't have time to well...have and do it all!) ,take bubble baths ( I turn the lights out, light candles and get my bubbles-thinking that I have closed all the doors- only to have Molly [my bulldog] and Sam [my cat] burst right through not one, but two doors that usually have me yelling "you are ruining bath time for me!"), and sleep (can someone please remind me what that is like?). 

Since this month marks mine and Chris' 1 year anniversary of civilian life, there is much I would like to write about. It's therapy for me. I don't get to talk or see many of my friends, and I have been asked several times to write a blog to share my daily stories.
Chris works as a police officer now and it is so exciting to see how far he has come. I'm very grateful that he has always known exactly what he was called to do. Even joining the army was something that he was called to do. We sometimes can't believe how young he was when he started (16), but we do not doubt everything God has done in the last 10 years. 

There is much to update you with. SO for those that care, please stay tuned!
