FINALLY!!!

So, I purchased bedroom furniture January 2010 and have had the worst luck with actually getting it all in. One year later and I FINALLY received all of my furniture...I AM SO EXCITED to have it. Take a look at how beautiful my bedroom set really is.

January 19th 2011

(I wrote this a few days ago and forgot to post)

We slept in, all four of us. The boys stayed home from school and Logan and I enjoyed the extra time suggling before we got up. This is precious time before he deploys. That man is my heart. =) So, I eventually got up and decided to make a HUGE breakfast (per Logans request) eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, and cinnamon rolls...I told you it was big. We sat together talking as if there were no worries in the world. That's how it should be, the boys knew their daddy was leaving that day but we wanted to enjoy every last minute and not think about later that night, when we would say goodbye.

The rest of that day now seems like a blur up until we got in the car...

We started driving towards the XVIII Airborne Corps Headquarters, where I would watch my husband line up in formation after his name had been called off of the manifest, and feel like my heart was slowly being ripped out of my chest. The emotions were so raw so I'd rather show you pictures than try and describe the rest of that day.

I was so very thankful to have one of my good friends come with us and capture the Bixler family as a whole. Thank you Mrs. Shely. =)












Applied

YES, Monday I made the trip (only 45 minutes) to Sandhills and submitted my application for their RN program. I already applied to the much closer school back in October but I need to have a backup plan (just in case). Phew!! I know this year will be my year. I sure am glad I have a husband who cares about my happiness and goals for my education. We have been through SO much since he entered into the Army 7+ years ago. Anyway, I should be hearing from Sandhills by February/March timeframe. Fingers crossed peeps.  =)

PS- yeah, that's all I have for now. I have been spending all my time with the boys while daddy is away. I love being with them, Brennen and Connor are like the coolest little kids around!!
