Onward from here

A lot has happened in the last two weeks. And of course, our final goal of the last 6+ months has been achieved. A year ago, we thought we were going into something completely different than it turned out. We may be back to what looks like where we started, but it's more our restart. We have a whole new outlook now and are working each day towards bettering our lives. Lots of plans ahead!

I will most likely be moving my blog soon, and will update more then.

The end in sight

After a month and a half of hard core stress about the husband's work situation, we FINALLY received good news. We are still in the waiting game, but finally on the happy ending side of it all. It has been almost a year since this madness began. A journey that has brought us closer as a couple, helped us appreciate the little things in life, and shown us what truly matters to our hearts and souls. It is also a journey that has brought back to the "beginning", although for us it's the end of what nearly felt like a nightmare.

"What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from."
- T. S. Eliot

A month lost

I didn't blog at all in March. Busy is as busy does. And being busy really is just an excuse. A recap would just reveal that while we are closer to the husband's move back date, we really are no closer to knowing exactly what is happening. Many variables are still up in the air. So that leaves us really stressed and a bit scrambling to get it together. Just like we were a year ago as we were still waiting for answers about moving to "Exile" in the first place. It's been a long year, and I really will be ready to put it behind us. Soon. Hopefully.

Starting on myself

I have several of my goals that have to do with my personal well being and spiritual health. I'm beginning on this in March. Starting with setting aside an amount of time as strictly "me time." Eventually this will be working back into meditating. It's a part of pre-baby life that I really miss. That and my yoga. I'm thinking I might start doing an actual yoga class even once the husband is home. I am looking forward to getting my own self back on track.

We're over it

Planning to get the husband home has begun and we are just over it all. So much to do, so little time. It's just exhausting on the brain. It's time for this to be over with.

Going good

Despite the obvious of our family being separated, things really are going well. I'm working quite a bit right now which makes me happy. I've gone out with a friend, have plans to go out soon with my bestie, and hopefully seeing another friend tomorrow as well. I'm currently figuring out school options for our oldest...which is nerve wracking since I almost feel as if I'm behind with how intensive it is finding, enrolling, and being on the lottery for charter schools. Sheesh. But I have my fingers crossed that we may have a big contender that we are touring in a few weeks.

I'm also back on track with working out. My last weight loo regimen didn't go so well as I ended up feeling a bit awful despite weight loss. I've since put that weight back on, all in a matter of a few weeks. So I'm starting again and this round out differently and slowly. Hopefully I can get myself healthy enough as well. I know I am vitamin deficient, so I am starting there and working out with that. I'm noticing the energy boost already and hope I continue to feel better from here our.

Really we are closing out the third month of being back in Vegas. That means only two more months before moving the husband back here. It's coming very fast. Which that, of course, makes me very happy. But we do have so much to do in that short amount of time. Lots of planning ahead. I'm looking forward to getting this all set soon. In fact, having our family whole and together again is the highlight of my year. I truly am excited for that day. I'm glad this year is on the way to being a good one!
