Here we go again


Well here we go again. I am preparing for my hubby to leave the country yet again. I know it is only six weeks and that is a lot better than the year most of military spouses are dealing with. Please believe me when I tell you it doesn't get any easier, nor should it. I think I would be concerned about our relationship if it was easy to have that time of separation. On a good note though it really does keep us strong in our relationship. It leaves us always wanting more of one another. I guess you could call us perpetual newlyweds even after 14 years together. I have been keeping myself busy lately with family visiting. I have lived all over the world but as soon as we move to Hawaii everybody wants to come and visit. Mind you I am not complaining. Quite the contrary. I am absolutely blessed to have my family come and see me. I would love to go home to Minnesota sometime soon though. It is almost spring and should be turning nice there. Plus when I go there I can visit everyone. I plan on going before the fall. I have to because after that I get really busy with everybody doing home parties and such for Christmas with my Gourmet candle business. I know it sounds far off, but now days time just seems to be going at warp speed. We had a visiting Pastor at church today from Nepal. Wow! We are so blessed as Americans. I hope none of us take that for granted. The smallest thing was huge to him and his congregation and yet we complain about the smallest things. Food for thought. We are completely and abundantly blessed by our Father in Heaven. I pray that this finds you all well. Be blessed and be thankful.

I like your writing style Jennifer! It is like I am opening up a letter and reading what is going on in your island world.

Good job on the bloggin'!

You are so right about us being so blessed. We all do, unfortunately, take this life for granted. We shouldn't...but it's the daily reminders - if we slow down enough to see them - that keep us realizing how truly blessed we are. The Good Lord has His hands on us.

You be blessed too honey!
