Im here!
Are you shocked?
I am.
We will see how long it lasts! ;-)
miss Reese is taking her daily 3 hour nap, and since I have decided to procrastinate on my school project, I figured I would post on here since so many have gotten a blogger!
well as I said, yes Reese is taking a 3 hour nap, this has been going on since she was 2 months old.. how long it will last? I have no idea but I intend to keep it as long as possible. The 3 hours gives me uninterrupted (most of the time) time to myself! Even if it just cleaning the house, although I would love to have time to sit down with a great book during these hours. I feel like I never have time for that. I always have a goal of getting to that point sometime during the week, but I always have something else I should be doing. Like as of right now?? Cleaning out Reese's closet. She is JUST now beginning to wear her 3-6 month clothes, and yes she is 5 months! She's a petite one, that, and 0-3 lasts longer than they say obviously! Sooo, I have to, sadly with possible tears in my eyes, pack it up in bins hoping they are good for the next child!
School consumes my life I feel like. Or it could be that I just procrastinate a lot. My senior year has definitely been my most difficult year. Not that the material is difficult, it's just, I have so many projects, observations, and papers for the next few months. Come Onnnnn May!
Shelby is working one whacked out schedule right now, so our weekend.. starts Monday. He works today and tomorrow, which is a bummer, but then is off mon-tue. then works wed-thur, then is off fri-sun. It's all crazy, but we get to see him a lot so it works. Plus, Shelby is so anti-USMC lately he just has his CPL's check in and he comes home to visit a lot. I know he hates going a day without seeing Reese... and ME of coursE! :) With Shelby's work schedule, he works Thanksgiving. And definitely a no-go for visiting home for Christmas. It's going to be extremely difficult, but we will manage. It's just not christmas if you arent at home! We are trying to be positive. Our last one to deal with...
Last night was our USMC ball. It was good, we definitely enjoyed ourselves. Not as good as our last one tho! When he was with CLB--old unit he was detached with-- we hung out with so many of them all the time, so the ball was so great. Here with his other unit, there were over 1500 people there, and Shelby isnt even working for them right now! We saw some people here and there we knew for various reasons, but not nearly as many or as we were close to compared to CLB. It felt bittersweet though. Our last one. When the Marine Corps hymn was played I definitely teared up. No one knows how it feels to see your husband, and so many others at attention while the hymn is being played, unless you are a Marine Wife. I cannot tell you how incredibly proud I am to be Shelby's wife and all the sacrifices he has made for our family. I am ready for him to get out, but it will be sad at the same time.
We are excited to get out though and see what the future holds.
I hope everyone is doing great! I will try and go comment on everyone till lil miss awakens! :)
