I usually dread the fact that the time during the holiday season flies by, but this year I'm embracing it. Dan comes home next month. I love that I can say that. I think Genie is more excited about that than I am though. She has so much to tell him about school since he's been away since she started going to "big kid" school.
October started out slow at first, but as soon as I went TDY it all seemed to start zooming past me. I don't even know where the first week of November went. I know that I have been busy- at first I was trying to find things to keep me occupied but now there are times when it feels like it's all coming at me at once.
With Dan gone again, I've of course had a lot of time to think about things in life that I'd like to happen and things that I want/need to change. I've stepped up my fitness, school, and Genie's activities. Starting to filter out more people that I associate myself with and not really letting anyone new in at the moment. Well, don't really have to worry about anyone new because I don't really do anything that puts me in a position to "meet" new friends unless I start befriending the grocery clerks. :p
There are some people that I don't care to keep in touch with and don't really care what they're up to anymore. Waste of time and energy speaking to them or giving input. There are too many people out there that think they know shit, or what's right and what's wrong, it just isn't worth saying anything to them when you simple don't care anymore. That energy will be spent elsewhere doing better things. :)
My brother has moved in with me and I couldn't be happier. I haven't really spent too much time with him since I moved back here three years ago and he's probably the only person I truly wanted to reconnect with. Our relationship hasn't quite been the same since I left for the military, but things are getting better and I'm ecstatic that he's allowing me to really be here for him. Plus it's nice having someone else in the house over the age of five.
With November almost halfway over already, I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. My love and I are almost through yet another deployment, maybe the most difficult one to date of the three that we've been through together.
I know that I have primarily been using this blog for a 365 and to update about some events that have been going on. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use this blog. I don't want to indulge too much information here but still want to be able to keep long distance friends and family in the loop of what's going on with us.
I have been keeping up with my 365 on Flickr: See all of the pictures here.
That's pretty much it for now. The rest of this month brings get togethers, great food, and more fun for us. After that, only about ten days remain between me and seeing my husband again...
