While He's Gone...

Tyler left on January 26th on deployment to Southwest Asia. He will be home in 8 days and I have never felt more sense of relive, joy, excitement, and anxiousness. Since he left, I have gotten a job at a daycare called Foundation Academy. I love my two year olds. They make me laugh and sometimes they make me want to cry. But, the terrible twos come and go. It makes life interesting. I did get about 2 weeks after Tyler left to sleep in everyday, wear my pajamas as an outfit, and do as I pleased. Now, I get up at about 5:30 am every morning and I am the head teacher of nine 2 year old children. They depend on me from 6:30 to 2:00 every day. I love my job, but it has a lot of ups and downs.

Tyler and I are lucky compared to a lot of other people in the military. We have Skype, where we get to see each other daily. We have Tango, where we can talk on our phones, (with him using wi-fi). And having those benefits are beyond anything we ever imagined. We have longed for the day he gets to come home and he will be here in a little over a week! How CRAZY!


We have all these scenarios of when he comes home. It helps the time pass. I think we have talked about everything under the sun. The only thing left to do is be together.

Our REAL wedding is in 2 months. I have been procrastinating a lot about the wedding because I have been busy with work and it is hard to plan a wedding with little to no money. We are hoping our taxes are going to help us pay for it. *Cross your fingers*

Buster, our puppy, is not a puppy anymore. He has gotten SO big. He is growing so fast, I can even see it happening. He has gotten a lot better than he was. The first 2 months, I almost regretting getting him. Now, he and I have an understanding. He pees in my house, he goes outside or in his crate for a time out. He stays outside while I'm at work. I think he likes it, but he still cries a lot when I go to leave him. I think he thinks I am leaving him for good. ha Some days I want to leave him when he is being a bad dog. Like the night he deliberately peed on my leg while we were hanging out on the couch, or the day he got out of his cage and tore up everything in the house right after I spent 3 hours cleaning it the night before. But, I know Tyler loves him and is going to be glad to come home to a big puppy instead of a lap dog.


Well, I will probably update this again in another 3 months. So, yeah. BYE!
