This week has been stressful, hard, and exciting at the same time. Tomorrow I am going to Jacksonville to see my friend Melissa and her twin girls Rebecca and Elizabeth. I NEED to get out of this house. I am going crazy staying inside 24/7 with no friends or family here for support. I should have gone home and it is STILL on my mind, but I don't know if it will happen.
Mike left sunday for 6 weeks and 4 days of recruiting school. At first we HATED the idea of being a recruiter, but now we love it. We love it for the fact that; A) we are stationary for 3 years, no moving B) NO DEPLOYMENTS!!!!!!!! C) Mike gets to watch Riley grow up. This could not have come at a better time Riley being as young as he is. I think about all my friends who have husbands on deployments right now missing out on their children's lives and I do not know how they do it. They are so strong and I look up to them. I hated how Mike missed out on our pregnancy, but now looking back I would rather him miss out on that rather than Riley's childhood. You cannot get these years back.
On Monday, Riley decided to roll over. The day AFTER Mike left. I watched him do it and sat there like what did my baby just do?! Riley looked at me like WTF Mom, what just happened!? hahaha It took him a few days, but yesterday he started doing it again, and again, and again, and again. He cannot be on his tummy more than a couple minutes now without rolling over to one side. I was so incredibly sad that Mike missed this milestone in his life and the fact he is getting so good at holding on to his toys and playing with them. He can also touch his feet and he is acting like he is wanting to sit up all by himself. My little boy is developing so well right now. It makes me happy and sad at the same time
I just have to say God is Amazing. I am still on my road to get back to where I was when I was in WA. I cannot believe that just in like a few short months time, I can fall completely off track. :( I am slowly getting back on the path I was on. I hate not having a Church and great Church friends (Lindsay, Jessica, Lauren, Sarah, Sarah K, Jenny...) I miss all our dates and Bible Studies. Being alone (minus a couple friends) here in GA really makes me see that I LOVE having that support of family and friends. I miss my Starbucks dates at our table, getting the babies together, going on post and seeing my love and puppies, going to school and seeing all my girls, and so much more. I miss you all so much, and love you so much more.
I will try my best to update in Jacksonville!!!
