More Sociable

     So I've decided that maybe I need to be more sociable.  Those that know me also know that I have a social anxiety.  I've found that since Dan deployed its been really hard for me to leave the house.  When he was home I spent all my time with him (since there wasn't much of it) and didn't get out much.  I mean I got out plenty with him and the boys but not with my other friends.  All of our husbands are on the same boat though so we all wanted to just spend quality family time together.  While he was home we also got our niece for a few days, that was a blast by the way, and our nephew for a week.  We also went to DC for a week and my parents came down for a few days and we spent some time in Umatilla and Orlando.  Doing all of that didn't really leave much time for friends.  I'm slowly but surely making myself get out of the house and be around people.  It helps that I have such amazing friends to pass the time with too.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to thank my friends and family for helping me get through Dan being gone but I sure will try.
     I do have quite a bit planned while Dan is gone.  I'm trying to get Kim to go to Orlando or Tampa with me soon, and for my birthday weekend I'm going to TN to see my family, and then I'm going back for the week of Thanksgiving and staying here in GA for Christmas. I think I'm going to work a few trips to Umatilla in there too :)   Hopefully time goes by quickly and I'll have my husband home again before I know it.  I think I'm going to like this blogging thing :)

Wow I started a blog!

Wow! I finally started a blog.  Its amazing that I actually did it.  Normally I always have something to say but sometimes I have a hard time wording things.  Hopefully I can stay on top of the blog and actually write a few times a week.  I think it will probably help with stress.  Plus lets be honest, with Dan gone I have plenty of time to write and more than enough to say.  I'm really hoping that this deployment goes by very quickly.  Its no fun at all having to explain to your kids over and over why their Dad is gone and why he has to be gone so much.  Mine are old enough to somewhat understand but they do not like it one bit.  So, everyone wish me luck on my little blog adventure!!  It should be fun!
