Well the end of the year is here and I'm not too sad to see it leave! We have had a lot of ups and downs but we are together so I guess we can not complain. Tommy has been home for over 2 1/2 years, the longest since 2003 so I feel blessed. And he should not deploy again until the end of the new year.
It seems the year started off going in the right direction. Then I had surgery in March and ended up going in and out of the hospital for a few weeks, so that messed up the house for a bit. Still dealing with the results of the surgery but things are getting better, at least I'm looking at it that way. But a new year will bring more surgery and things should start getting better all the way.
Jonathan had two appointments which went well today. So now we have a four day weekend and we are going to do nothing. It snowed all afternoon and it is very cold and nasty out. I forgot how crazy these people drive, they must be from VA., that's for my family. :} I have surgery on Monday and Tommy leaves on Thursday for the month. Hannah's surgery is on the 13Th we are a bit sad daddy wont be here, but mommy will make sure she gets a special gift for being so strong. She has really grown up this year, makes me sad because I still want her needing me to help her with everything. It seems she changed over night, I knew it would happen but still hard to take. I'm blessed with her because I know she has a good head on her and will make something out of her life.
Jonathan's next MRI is the 18TH, they said if anything has changed they will keep him and we will go from there. Very stressful month. The hardest is not having Tom here to help. If the do surgery on Jonathan we can get Tom home but it will take a few days.I'm sure people are wondering if they can bring him home if Jonathan has surgery why he can't stay with Hannah having surgery but it's a major surgery and a lot will happen so it makes a difference. I really wish he could stay but he belongs to the Army before us. (well that's the way they look at it) I am keeping hope that everything is the same and we can relax a little. I'm not sure if we will ever be relaxed but I think everyone can understand what I mean.
January will be super busy for us but It's a start of the new year so I'm just going to go with it and put it in good hands, God's. I know he will watch over us. And I have some amazing family and friend who have really been here for us, even if they are far away they are here at all times.
I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years, stay safe and we hope get to see more of you this year. We will post again soon.
