Back to blogging

Hi there,

Life has changed a lot in the last three years. Actually that is an understatement. It has changed more than I thought it ever would. I didn't think 3 years after having my daughter, I'd be sitting here in my brother's old room where I now sleep.

I have moved into my parent's house with my 2 kids (Walker is now 9 months) and when Wyatt isn't in training or a deployment, he's here on the weekends.

Yes, now I have two kids. Little Walker joined us March 31st at 11:37pm at night. He was early, he couldn't wait to meet us.

However, the biggest change was moving in here because Wyatt and I have been on our own for the last 7 years. Now we've been here a couple of weeks and I can say we have adjusted ok. Everything is fine except how the kids are sick and Mia got 5 stitches on her chin. That sucked but she was brave. Walker is still nursing and waking up at night. Praying that ends soon. I'm sleep deprived and that part sucks but I enjoy them during the day.

Mom is flying to Peru in just 2 days. I'm so happy and excited for her. I'll miss her for sure, but she needs this so badly. She hasn't seen her family in over 18 years and she hasn't seen her mom of about 5. Mamita Eloisa is very ill. I pray for her every night. I now pray for my mom as she makes the flight solo to a country she has not visited in a long time. Not to mention she's not well herself. She's got more health issues that I can remember and it makes me so nervous but I cannot imagine how she feels as her mom is slipping away.

We are here till we can afford to buy a house hopefully by October. I'm also going to be looking for a job in a couple months once Walker isn't nursing anymore. I pray everyday that he doesn't fight it but so far he has not taken a liking to any bottles I offer.

I decided to blog again because I have goals and I want to make sure I stay motivated. It's like writing a list.  I have started to record everything we spend. I have been on a diet for over a week and it's looking pretty good. Kids are challenging but they are pretty good to me. I try to workout or go for a long walk.
I just want to make sure I remember everything because you never know, life seems so fragile at the moment.

Galatians 5:18 is helping me daily. Being a stay at home mom is super hard. I'm very blessed to be able to do this. I miss my husband. I miss our life as family but I have to keep looking towards the future. GG mama should be visiting soon to help me in my mom's absence, then mom will be back, then Wyatt will be back, then it'll be Walker's birthday. So many great things to look forward.

Feels good to type this down. 2016 has been crazy already. This year is not meant to start off easy and it sure hasn't. Gladly, I know it will improve, things will only get better. I can just feel it. It has to.
