February

This month brought Adam's fourth work up for the upcoming deployment, and the longest so far. He left early in the month and returns tomorrow for 13 days before leaving again, this time for only 15 days. It has been the most challenging work up because of the length and lack of communication, but as I prepare for Adam to come home tomorrow I am realizing just how quickly the time flew by, and I am thankful. If only all of the deployment could feel this way. My heart is full right now, but there are too many emotions to choose from.

Looking on the bright side, I have kept myself busy and have much to look forward to all year long. Here is this month in pictures:

Daffodils around the mailbox. They are a welcome burst of spring. I've spent a lot of Ferbruary planning my garden, reading through seed and garden supply catalogs, re-planning my garden, and have even done some planting.

Surprise baby shower for Kat! We knew we would never get her to show up, so we brought the party to her. Needless to say we caught her early in the morning and in her sweats! Many friends contributed to making it a special day.

Two of my favorite friends! These kids make me laugh so much. I have a habit of adopting everyone else's kids instead of having my own.

March promises to be an interesting and full month too. I hope everyone has plenty to look forward to!
