He Rocks

Michael started a new job this week. He's happy with it, but the work is hard and the shifts are long. He is scheduled nights and we're all trying to settle in to a different routine. It's exciting and challenging. Strange to think we are in the throws of a life we could only dream of during deployments. Now it's here and we've adjusted to being civilians again.

(He's really enjoying his post-military beard. It's gotten even more unruly since then.) 

So thankful for this man and his drive to support us. Marrying him is the best choice I've made.

My Boys

May

I finally got my flowers onto the balcony. I smile every time I look out the window. Levi presses his nose against the glass and yells, "birds! cars! moon!" but never flowers.

We've been waiting for May. It's hard to believe Michael will be with us soon. I swear I just made the phone call to my mother-in-law that he was deploying. 

(Also, I wasn't sure about the yellow walls when we moved in, but now? I love them. Maybe I'll finally do a photo reveal.)
