Aaron got promoted to Specialist November 7th Im so proud of my Specialist!!
I’ve just about gotten all of my Christmas shopping done. Im very proud of myself. This year I started shopping in October and I’m practically finished BEFORE December even starts. I just have two gift cards to get next time we get paid and I’m finished! AMEN, Im not good with the holiday crowd, prices are too high and people are so unfriendly when they really should be in a good mood cause Christmas is a beautiful holiday!
My mom and I had lunch today. I was on the phone with Aaron before we sat down to eat and when I got off the phone I said “He was having a down day. He’s just ready to be done with it all and home again.” She asked me if it was because of the holidays and then asked me if I thought the holidays were going to be hard without him here….
Im not sure how to answer that. We’ve never spent the holidays together where we started our own traditions, Aaron did get to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family last year, so there’s a little glimpse of him being apart of my holidays, but we were just engaged… this is our first year of marriage and this would have been the year to make new traditions. It’s hard knowing that we’re not able to start our holiday traditions until next year but then it‘s exciting that we will get to plan for next year!
. . I told my mom that im not really looking forward to the holidays, not because im going to be a grinch or a gloomy gus, it’s just because im ready for them to hurry up and be over because he’ll be home just soon after they’re over.
Yes, it's gonna be hard, but i hope to still be able to enjoy it.
While we’re on the subject of Holidays….Thursday is Thanksgiving. And I just want to say how thankful I am that I have such an amazing family that surrounds me and Aaron with loads of support and prayers. It would be so difficult to make it through this deployment without them. And im thankful for Aaron and all the soldiers serving our country and for their sacrifices they make for their families and country! THIS WORLD WOULD BE A HORRIBLE PLACE WITHOUT THESE HEROS TO HELP PROTECT US! Thank you!
Prayer requests:
**Right now im trying to get out of my lease early to be able to move to NY and be with Aaron when he gets back from Afghanistan. He’s supposed to be home between Feb 17 and March 17. Im not sure if his deployment orders are going to work or not, but im blessed to have a great apartment manager and I know she’ll try to help me out as much as she can to get me out of the lease
**But that brings me to the next thing. Housing in New York. So far I can’t find any apartments that are available without signing a 12 month lease which is not good because we’ll only be there for 5 months before we move off to Oklahoma. So it is pretty stressful not being able to go apartment hunting in person and not knowing what else to do if I can’t find a place there.
**I've been having some jaw problems for about a month now. I called my dentist and am supposed to go on the 1st. They think it sounds like TMJ, but it's been popping and locking and hurting for a really long time and it's so painful...im hoping i can get it fixed soon
**Also, please continue to pray for the safety of Aaron and all the soldiers over there. As well as the spouses and family back home during the holidays. Theses next few weeks will sure be lonely without our loved ones by our sides to celebrate with
That’s about it. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! <3
