Welcome

When our soldier went to Basic Training last year, we wrote letters every day. We talked on the phone every night during AIT. Since graduation, we've spent everyday together, with the exception of a month of training at NCT, where we returned to the phone calls. During all of that time, we could never really account for our time. So many little things happened that I never thought to share. I hope to remedy that with this Blog.

Day 1: Good Night, Little Buddy

 Daddy left today for a year in Afghanistan. Mommy is keeping this to show Daddy what we're doing while he's away. 

Today, I came home and watched Thomas and Friends. I fell asleep while Thomas was on and took a long nap. Then Mommy woke me up and I had Chicken Nuggets for dinner. 

I took a long bubble bath and then it was time to go to bed. Mommy let me watch more Thomas, and I hugged my soldier bear tight and went to sleep. 

I missed my Daddy hugging me and telling me, "Good night, little buddy."

My soldier left today. I spent the rest of the afternoon Spring Cleaning and organizing. I cleaned all of the leftovers out of the fridge, de-boned all of the leftover chicken, boiled the bones down and made two quarts of chicken stock, scrubbed down my canisters, the microwave (inside & out), moved every kitchen appliance and cleaned the counter top underneath, steam cleaned the floor, balanced the checkbook, paid the bills, fought with the car finance company until they fixed our payments, played on facebook, cleaned a bunch of junk out of our dining area... And he's only been gone 6 hours.

And do you know what I missed? I actually missed him sitting on the couch watching Netflix while I tried to get all of that done.
