Feels like home to me

As I'm sure most of you know by my millions of posts on Facebook, Michael is back home from Colorado!!!! I am so disappointed that I didn't post more while he was gone. I thought I was busy getting the house in order...but I am so much busier now that he is back home! So...to catch everyone up. Michael went to Pueblo, Colorado at the end of July for IFS (Initial Flight Screening). He is still (as of right now) scheduled to start pilot training in April...which seems FOREVER away. We're hoping those dates will get moved up...but we're also enjoying some "casual" status time :)

A few of my friends were asking how hard it was with Michael being gone...and I don't want harp on it. But I will say this: no time apart is ever easy. Whether it's a small amount of time or an entire year. I can't say that I am looking forward to deployments, but I feel like the time apart makes our relationship stronger. I know that we can get through anything! And, it's all about your attitude. There were a few hard days where I really missed him...but if you try to focus on the positive aspects...it really makes all the difference. You feel how you choose to feel...and that goes for everyday life as well :)

Right now, Michael and I are just enjoying our time together! Zoe is so thrilled to have him home! She follows him around and whines whenever he leaves. It's so sweet...she loves her dad! :) This weekend we're going with some friends to the Keith Urban concert in Tupelo! The AFB had a great deal on tickets...and don't ask me how...but we got tickets for $3.50!!!! We're so pumped about it!! Then, we have family coming in for Labor Day Weekend and the weekend after that!

So all in all, Michael and I are both glad he is back and everything feels like home again :)
