This has been seriously the most exciting and fast paced year I think we have ever had! With the move, Abby Grace coming, Honor Guard and the deployment it's just been nuts....not to mention potty training which is a whooooole other craziness in itself. I'm so grateful that we are where we are and I know there was a reason behind it all. This time last year I was so miserable and couldn't figure out why we would be sent here. It's pretty safe to say I hated it here. I cried everyday for "home" (being San Angelo) and the people that I left behind. Shoot and the people that left me behind! LOL!!!
I think we are finally getting into a routine here with our ward and meeting some friends. It took almost a year and a half, but we're there. The whole situation that happened when Abby was born really changed my outlook on a lot of things. I realized that you need to be happy in the moment, because you never know when someone you love might be taken from you or when you might be taken from them! Chris being gone has really shown me that I can handle much more than I thought I could. Sicknesses from all sides, Abby learning new things, and new schedules with Katie Beth being in school and Dance are just some of the things that have kept me busy. I'm so grateful (and I don't normally get all churchy, so yeah) that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me so much, that I know he will take care of me no matter what. Everything that happens is for a reason and knowing this has given me the peace I need throughout all of the craziness. If I'm feeling stressed, I know I can just stop and have a little chat with my Heavenly Father and it sort of clears the way for me. I feel better and in turn I guess I'm nicer to my kids....goodness knows I need to be! So yeah I really don't know what the point of the post was, but there you go! Hopefully I can get pictures up soon enough!
I just can't believe my little baby girl is one. I'll have to make a separate post on the MANY changes we have going on with her!
Happy 9 years Savannah

Yay a post! And an AWESOME one at that. You are seriously the coolest. Thanks for your post. It made me think about our current situation and maybe look at things a little differently. I can't wait for the pics! Happy Birthday Abby! I wish I could be there to celebrate =)
It's always good to remember that He is in charge and will make all things happen "for our good." Thanks for the reminder! Glad your finally feeling like you have friends and fit in. I used to give myself six months for that to happen. Now I know that giving myself at least a year is safer for my sanity!
