Settling back into things

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

We are starting to get back into a schedule, back into how a "family" works. It's weird because for so long it was just me taking care of everything on the home front that now I can actually relax is a weird feeling. The hubby has even let me sleep in a few days and that, I think, is one of the weirdest things lol. He has helped making dinner, getting the kiddos ready for bed ( That's super awesome) because I can sit on my bum and relax while my "job" is done for me.
But it's weird also, I've been in a sort of funk. I think it's hard for me to totally relax, I feel like we should been packing him up. Getting ready for him to go again, and I just can't let my guard down. I have heard from lots of women that their husbands coming back and trying to settle into a family again is really hard, but I wasn't sure of how it would be for us.
When my husband came home from Korea, that was a hard time for us to get settled back into us again too, I know we can do it, it's just that I really wanted it to be back to normal right away.
So, how does it go for you guys? Do you think it's hard to settle back into things, mostly because of being independent for so long or? Tell me what you think!

Smiles, Hugs and Sighs of relief

I'm living in a cave at the moment, I have no Internet :( So i didn't get to finish out the Wives of Faith blog carnival :( and I haven't been able to check my bank account which has really really freaked me out :)
I drove down to Ft. hood on Monday and the kids have been crazy off their schedules and I have been unpacking super fast because my hubby will officially be HOME in single digits :) I'm so excited! So needless to say the O household will be a little crazy these next couple of weeks.
If you are a new follower, AWESOME! Thanks for joining me :) And if I'm not following you, let me know because I would love to follow along!
Wish me luck getting the house unpacked! And hopefully I'll be back in full swing of things really soon!

My Military wife Scripture

Sunday, May 2, 2010


2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.
This is absolutely my favorite verse ever.
It got me through some pretty hard times while my husband has been deployed, I mean what an AMAZING God we have.
He never wants us to suffer or be stressed, yet he wants us to have Peace- directly from him!
God is incredible.
We don't deserve any of his love, but he continually gives it to us no matter how bad we can screw up, all we have to do is ask.
I know as a military wife, we are constantly worrying about deployments, pcs-ing, schooling, money, whatever the case may be, God doesn't want us to do that.
He wants us to only ask him, hand over all our worry and KNOW that he will be there to put together all the pieces, when we wouldn't have a clue otherwise.
