Its been way toooooo long

Its obviously been too long since I have posted a blog! But our family is doing just amazing. Allie is doing so well in her preschool program. She has transformed from a toddler to a preschooler. She knows most of her letters, is writing, and I feel like is doing just about everything under the sun. It is scary how much she is growing up, so Im trying to cherish all of these moments. Emily is 5 months already...Im really not quite sure where the time is going. She is smiling, laughing, rolling over, and scooting on her belly. She is never where I leave her anymore, definately a little adventure girl! We are gearing up for Adam's second deployment to Afghanistan. He is going for 12 months, and while I don't think any of us are exactly excited (ok maybe Adam is excited to go play war haha), I think we might be ready. We haven't told Allie yet, its a little too early since she hasn't mastered the concept on time, I know she will be ok with it in time. She will miss him, we all will, but we will be ok. We are a pretty strong family. I might be a crazy, emotional wreck sometimes, but I can definately roll with the punches and handle him being gone and do the single parent thing for a year. A year is better than the 15 months we faced last time. Due to recent troubles on post, our brand new van being keyed and our house being vandelized, we have decided moving back to NJ is best. The kids responsible have not yet been kicked off post, if they will even be kicked off at all. It's not a situation I want to deal with while Adam is gone, so going back will just be easier in that aspect. Another thing will be a better financial situation. We are really hoping to be able to get out after this deployment, so we are going to save our BAH (basic housing allowance), so we can have more money put away for a house. All of our decisions are hopefully what is best for our future. We can only hope we are making the best decisions possible, right? Adam leaves in 2 months, so we are going to enjoy every single moment we have left together as a family and hopefully when he leaves I will keep this blog so updated and he can read about the girls' adventures while he is gone too!
