River city

A recent stint of River City has drove me crazy. I can say while I did divulge in a little shopping we paid off a portion of our debt. Working towards the rest I cannot wait to see the end of that long tunnel. We have orders now and I am excited and scared at the same time. Johnnie will be doing a Recruiting Tour for his final tour in the Navy. He has been a recruiter before and he was 100% successful I have no doubt he will be again. He's a great leader and an absolute outstanding role model. That I have no doubt. Its the location i'm afraid of. I can't disclose the location right now. ( I don't want certain people finding out) Its a location we both wanted but are hesitant because of the past. We will get through it. A new routine or swing of things shall be put into place so we can get used to recruiting better. This time we know what to expect.
Ive begun the first steps on buying our first home. Im so excited. I "pinned" my dream home ideas over and over again. I can't wait to show Johnnie. Luckily his ideas are similar to mine so I am sure he will love them too. We are realistic and assumed we wont be getting everything on our dream home wish list. None the less we are excited.
       The weather is changing and i'm loving it. The cooler temps came at a perfect time. It makes us so much closer to our holiday season and all its happenings. I was thinking I might put up the christmas after halloween. Maybe just the decor and not the tree. That is still in the works. I have a very curious 1 year old now and a crazy 2 year old boy who just might think hes a monkey and try and climb the tree, can I handle that.. NO.. :)
My sweet emma has been screaming her little head off for reasons unknown right when she wakes up in the am. Which is generally around 5:30-6. I'm hurting because lately I haven't been able to go to sleep until midnight. Thanks to the newly found Big Bang Theory and Homeland. Which if you havent seen them those 2 shows are incredible. I laugh constantly at Sheldon and im in constant suspense in Homeland. I also love that the shows main character is named Carrie.. Just sayin..
       I am missing Johnnie more and more and some days it's hard to see the light. Im constantly reminded from him how this is the absolute last time he will ever leave me. I love that man and would do anything for him. But im glad this deployment is our last. After doing this a decade im completely over it and im ready to snuggle him every day. The kids miss him and our oldest asks about him and shows me her count down daily. Shes so brave and strong. I love her.
      I'll leave on that note. I know there are some christmas deals to be found. As of now I'm completely done. I think when Johnnie gets home he will see some things he will get for the kids but im done. Minus the stockings :) Tis the season
