family update

Last week was bitter-sweet.

We celebrated Riley turning 3 years old...which was definitely "sweet!"

We also learned that Aaron will be moving - going on a remote tour - for one year starting this fall.  This remote tour is unaccompanied by family.  Meaning, he goes alone!  This news was definitely "bitter."  We always knew it was a possibility, but never thought it'd happen this year.

I'm not giving a lot of details on my blog, on purpose.  Those who are interested in learning more, just message me and I'll be happy to share what I know with you.

We have six months until this move happens...but planning and preparing starts as soon as now.  Especially, for Aaron with work and with us at home expecting a baby this summer.

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers in the coming months.  It'll be tough for all of us - having a newborn and shortly after seeing Daddy leave for one year.  It makes me so sad.  As a mom, I naturally worry about my family.

We are a military family and these things always happen - it's a part of our life.

There is good, and blessings in every situation though.  I'm trying my hardest to focus on the positive and to be strong for Aaron and my children. 

God is good.  My faith will help to get me through...

I'll keep you posted as time goes on.

  1. I'm always keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do for either of you, please let us know. I just wish we lived closer. I don't like to wish our lives away, but I hope that year goes rather quickly so you will be back together before you know it. We Love you all so much and just want Aaron to be home safe and sound with his family. ~Mom~
