Pictures from Halloween
Yay! It looks like our blog is finally working! I am going to try to post some pictures from Halloween that have not been showing up. I'll cross my fingers...
Missing Justin
This picture is in the airport, when Justin came home on leave in September. Christmas time has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. Getting ready to play Santa all by myself has made me really miss Justin. He will be home in only 8 weeks, but I still feels like a long time to me. I seem to be about 15 minutes behind in life lately. I'm feeling tired physically and emotionally from doing this all by myself so long. My kids are late to school every day because they miss the bus, and Chance's grades were bad last quarter because he's not doing his homework. Hopefully the Christmas break will give us time to restart the new year better. You just don't appreciate how much your husband makes a difference till he's gone this long. I was sitting in church on Sunday feeling sorry for myself, and I remembered that Christmas is not about me, it's about Christ. He chose to leave his loved ones on earth at age 33, so he could save all of us. Justin will be home in 2 months, and we can be together forever because of Him. Those thoughts helped me get a true perspective back. The truth is, I know that we have been blessed and strengthened this year.
