Well in my short little 4 months of being a military spouse I have...
-bought a car by myself (with my imaginary husband aka my power of attorney) By the way, my husband was fully aware...this girl did not just wait until her husband left to go by a car...lol!
-I have flown by myself (roundtrip) with a 3 year old.
-I have stayed in numerous hotels by myself with a 3 year old.
-I have driven to 1900 miles by myself with a 3 year old.
-I have moved completely out of my house in Cheyenne with the help of a few strong, awesome friends!
-I have driven back home to MS (21 hours) with my mom and Walker.
-I have completely taken care of the budget, insurances, house issues, etc. by myself which for me is very challenging.
all in all I am just proud that we have survived the past 4 months. Not sure how. I just know that every night when I lay my head on the pillow I thank God for another day in the books! Another day closer to sleeping on the pillow next to my husband. Another day that He lavished Grace and Strength on me to get through both emotionally and physically. The days are not always pretty and somedays are really really ugly but we make it. We are making it. And I can honestly say that with God's help I'm really joyful and that's just a miracle.
Here are some pictures of our busy little life...
