7 Days and a wake up.

This is the text I got from Mikey this morning.  "7 Days and a wake up"

But, you know what?  That's just TOO long.  Mikey has been gone almost two weeks, and he will be back in well...7 days and a wake up.  {It's how they counted down to things at the Citadel}  I apologize to any single parents/military spouses who may read this because you deal with this every day/a lot more than I do.  But, this is my life and I want my husband back, I'm used to him being here.  HERE. with me, and C.  Yes, we talk on the phone a lot still, and facetime...but it's just not the same.  I want my man back, now.  Honestly, it hasn't been hard.  I've been staying with my parents for goodness sakes, so I've had help and even had someone cooking for me...major bonus.  But, it's just not the same. 

Something (someone) is missing.  And it sucks.  I can totally tell he is really starting to miss me and especially Collins.  He's scared she's going to forget him.  She gets so excited when we facetime though.  (Again, I apologize to any military spouses because I can't even imagine what you go thru...and am so thankful for it)  Mikey and I started dating when we were 19...he went to college at The Citadel and I still don't know if we ever went this long without seeing each other.  Seriously.  I'm over it. Ready to have my partner back.

Doesn't help much that I have come down with a terrible cold/infection of some sort.  Yesterday was the pits.  I could NOT stop coughing all day long.  I slept for 10 hours last night and still feel yuck this morning. 

Needless to say...I'm ready for this sickness to be gone and my husband to get his butt home and life to return back to normal.  I miss normal. 

Sorry for the gloom and doom today.

xoxo.

    Aww cheer up Caroline! That's too funny, Mark counts down to things like that, too. I didn't realize it was a Citadel thing! :)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
