Marriage, Christmas '10, & Day 202

So... I'm seriously falling behind on my blogging. I need to catch up... So first things first...

Marriage. I've decided to put more time and effort into my marriage. I feel like this deployment has done two things.. made me stronger, and made my marriage weaker. I feel like my husband and I are so distant that we're falling apart. John has similar feelings and neither of us want that. We both love each other dearly, and we will both do whatever it takes to make this marriage work. I'm still very much in love with him, and he's still in love with me... our marriage just needs some strengthening and some work. We want our fairytale feeling back... and we're fighting for it.

Christmas. It was a lot of fun. I still have to get up with the "powers that be" and find out when I can bring Caleb his gifts. I plan to do that tomorrow. Shayli got tons of gifts and had a very happy Christmas. I was also happy to see everyone was happy with the gifts they received from us.

Day 202. I can not friggin believe it. We're over halfway through. 163 days left maximum. That's it. The whole shebang. And it will probably be a LOT less. Meaning we're almost done. I'm so excited. I'm so happy for my husband to come home. We can get our relationship back on the right track and start our new life. Moving to KY. I can not wait. A new world. New friends. A fresh start. And honestly, I think it's exactly what we need. <3

Public Service Announcement

Your drama and your bullshit are not welcome here. I have enough shit in my own life to deal with yours too. You can vent to me all you want, but do not come to me expecting me to have the answers to your problems. I can't make a decision for you. If you're being beaten, being cheated on, you're pregnant, you're falling in love with someone, you're falling in love with me, you're falling out of love with someone... Whatever the hell your problems are, I'm not your answer and I refuse to be drawn into your drama. My new years resolution is to avoid all drama. You bring it to me, expect to be cut off like a limb with gangrene. It may hurt the both of us... but I have come to realize your drama will hurt me more in the long run than cutting you off to begin with will.
