Yes, a huge gap.

Obviously it has been a while since I last posted anything, let me explain...Mid January a tragic event happened to the people of Haiti. An earthquake that not only rocked their country, it rocked their lives forever. Within 48-hours, my husband received orders to deploy to Port Au Prince, Haiti in the efforts to help. Before I knew it, he was gone and already put to work by helping the US Embassy set up hospital tents as well as continue to find helpless survivors of this horrific tragedy. Logan was gone for a mere two weeks but those days he was there helped him put our family life into perspective. We are so blessed to have the resources here to help in any way a huge event were to take place and the love and support a family gives is more than words could explain...Now back to why I have an explanation. What many people don't realize is that when a husband (or wife in some cases) leave the home, returning is a huge adjustment. Logan has been deployed before and much longer than two weeks at that, but when he comes home, reacclimating is always difficult. When this occurs litterally everything stops and the focus is primarily put on family life. This is such an important part of making things work in a military family. It's hard to explain such a thing because it's in a league of it's own. Military is a lifestyle that at first can be extremely hard to get use to but we have no other choice. It pains me to say that the government puts their soldiers first and the rest of the family is not (this is a honest to goodness excuse for why it has taken me SO long to finish school). Back to my reasoning, so  for the rest of us, we need to put in the effort to make time for family. I hardly get any time to do things I would love to do on a day-to-day basis and that's because my focus is on the Bixler's. This isn't me complaining because I don't regret the life I have. I adore my husband to pieces and our children mean the world to us. I have chosen to make certain parts in my life more important than others. I wouldn't be happy if I didn't have these loves and for that I put other hobbies on the "back burner". It's that simple. 

(I know my explanation is a bit scatter-brained but I could go on in tangents)
