Friends and a year later

Well we are now almost into the fall which means we started our new lives over a year ago. It is hard to believe that a year ago we went from discussing the military to knowing what all kind of acronyms mean, know how to tell time in 24 hour format and knows what it is like to be told on short notice your going to be alone for awhile.

I know I have said it before but it is worth repeating, I have met some of the most amazing and strong women here. We get together for play dates, birthdays, cooking party's and just because. I would have never imagined that people you just met could become your best friend to talk to, cry on or even yell at. It doesn't seem to matter that I'm the "mom" of the group we are all in the same boat. I know the guys all say the friendships of the military is something else, well that goes of us wives too.

We know more changes are coming but I really feel like with the friends Kyla and I have made we will be fine. We will be lonely at times but we also know all we have to do is pick up the phone for a pick me up. It amazes me that to be so different we are all alike.

Mike's parents and niece came for a visit last weekend and it was so great to see them and spend time. As we drove around post and Mike explained different things I could just tell how proud he was. I could also tell how proud of him they are!! I know there are families out there that just don't understand but when Mike told them a year ago what he was doing they knew this is him. I would like to say Thank You to both our families for being so understanding and so supporting.
