Reflections Upon 2015




2015 was a good year.

We lived it to the fullest.



We even adopted a Chihuahua. 


The kitchen became the center of our home, where we created food together.



 



A free zoo membership gifted to us made it possible to go to the zoo a lot.

There were ups and downs. Arguments and deep discussions. A time to frown and many times to smile. Together we became more of a team. Since 2010, this was the longest time my husband and I had lived together in the same house as a Mother/Father unit. j


September 2013 we were united, in October 2015 we had to say see ya later and let Facetime become our method of communication.


During 2015 we lived in El Paso on a military installation. We came to see the benefits this afforded us. It was a true blessing and an experience we carry with us in our hearts. We lived in a town home that was the biggest house I had ever lived in.


We went on a second marriage retreat, again to Albuquerque. It was a lovely weekend where we met some great people.






I joined a Bible Study called Protestant Women of Christ. This was a great experience for me.


The kids and our little dog loved taking walks around the neighborhood and going to the playground. It was nice to live with a  big city all around you, yet be separate.


My husband was home just about every single night. Gate Guard was a difficult time for us. We truly learned to live in the moment.


All of 2015 was spent doing everything that could be done as a family. A time to focus on us. To make memories that would carry us through the upcoming separation.


I have no regrets.


This was by far one of the best years I have ever had.


I am truly blessed to be loved by my husband and to be called mom by such amazing kids.
