moving on home..

Ok so we've finally got final situation figured out, we're moving home! i'm happy, and sad at the same time. happy to know i'll have my husband home with me and my children so he can watch them grow. be home for holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. i'm sad to leave a life i've learned to get used to and cope with. and some friends that i've made along the way, but i do hope we all stay in touch. my children are small enough to not know what its like to miss their daddy, and have him gone for long periods of time, which i am soo grateful for. so now its packing, cleaning, selling the unneeded things, and getting ready to move on home. my family is so excited for us to return to a "normal" life. but for me right now things seem so surreal. i had to go from basically one extreme to another. i had to change my mind set from "ok gotta start getting myself and kids mentally prepared for a year long deployment" to "ok he's getting out, no more deployments, no more training schedules, he's coming home and staying home" . who would complain right? i am just anxious to see what going back a normal life will have for us. where we will end up, and how our children will react. they may be small and still unaware of many things, but i know they are aware of their surroundings, and i hope they don't have a hard time adjusting. well like i said as to the cleaning and packing....now it's time to start. so off i go!

Life on hold...

Ok so here we go, I love reading everyones stories, and have decided what better way to tell my story than to make my own and put it out there for others. I hope some of the things i end up writing will find their way to someone and give them that extra advice or make their day.  First off, my name is Bianca. I am a mother of two adorable little boys, (both under the age of 2) so bear with me if i take some days off lol. My husband is currently an active duty Marine and we are stationed in the wonderful desert of 29 Palms.  His EAS is coming up soon and we will be saying see ya later Marine Corps.  I'm actually alil scared of what civilian life holds for my family, but i know that my husband will do what is needed to make sure his family is taken care of. These past 4 and a half years have been what my husband says "hurry up and wait" kind of life. My husband was actually in the process of trying to reup but was told due to some medical issues he had a couple years ago that he was "unfit" for duty and he needed to get out. I understand they only want men who are able to do their job, but my husband was willing to volunteer to deploy with other units than his own, all he wanted to do was his job, to protect this country. Im happy he will be home to see our children grow up, and spend holidays and anniversaries with me cause i know so many men cant be there with their families, so i will not take his time home for granted. i just hope he doesnt have an regrets once he's out. but even though he was just told he could not reup, they really didnt tell him no but didnt really say yes. they said they will sign his reenlistment if he feels better before he gets out, and can prove he is capable of doing his job. so for now our life is on hold....
