Forgive me?

Can you ever forgive me for my super long blogging absence?  I don't know what has been up with my funk lately but I have been emotionally constipated for a few months now.  I think I was in deployment survival mode.  This is the first time a deployment has done that to me.  I am usually a mess of emotion and crazy and it makes for some amazing blogging material, but this time I just haven't felt it.  It was day after day of the mundane and same - and I liked it.  A day without excitement was a good day, it meant I was one day closer to my love and one day closer to not being exhausted.  Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of excitement both good and bad, I just couldn't form words around it to make it work here - so I gave up trying, and it was nice.  It was nice to take a break, to just live in the moment and not formulate the story in my head for the blog.  But now I'm back.  My break is over and I keep being so excited about things to tell you, things to share with you.

I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you!

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
