October

Wow October is here and now almost gone. Mike celebrated his birthday this month. Things here are pretty much the same. Kyla is busy with school and choir. They had their first concert last week and sounded great. She is still doing really good in school in all her classes here. I am still looking for a job but it is a little hard with everyone closing up or laying people off. I am going to start training here at home for medical transcription. There is an organization that is for military spouses that pays for everything and they help get work when you are done. Hopefully that will start by the end of the year.

Mike has been busy at work and training. Our time is drawing nearer each day and the more anxious Kyla and I get. We have already started letters for him that we will give him when he leaves. Neither of us knows what the others is about that is our own private letters to him. It seems like the closer it gets the more that we need to double check on to make sure it is done. I am a co-leader for our Family Readiness Group, which we are there for support for deployed families in our group, relay information to the families and fund raise. Once the guys leave we will be very busy. It will Kyla and I something to keep busy.

While we have windows please understand we can not say anything to anyone for safety of the troops and for the families.

I honestly don't know what I would do without the great women I have met down here. Even though all of their husbands are already deployed we still have a common bond no matter our ages or if we have children or not. While we each have our bad days we are here for one another. People really do not understand the closeness of the military community. Most think it is just the soldiers but it isn't, it is the families too. While things get said or done that maybe shouldn't we are all still here for one another.
