We are anxiously awaiting my husband's return. He's been in South Korea since October 2010. He comes home this October. Yep. One year. I can't wait!!!! And even better, we're going to surprise the girls. They think he's coming home on the 15th when he's coming home on the 11th. They will really like the pizza delivery guy this day (that's how we plan on surprising them). Hopefully I'll figure out how to post a video on here so everyone (all three of you who probably read this, four if you count my mom, LOL) can watch it repeatedly.
Since his last leave I have lost 30 pounds and am hoping to lose at least ten more before he comes back. I have ran a 5k, done a 5k mudrun and have increased my runs from a 10 minute slow slow run to a good 5 mile run at about 53-55 minutes! I can now side-plank and do the bow in yoga! I am growing so much in so many different ways and gaining new levels of confidence I never even had in my early 20s or in high school!
I can't wait for him to come home. I honestly hope he doesn't recognize me. I hope I can finally catch up on some zzzz's. Yeah, that's right, Henry still does NOT sleep through the night. Once in a great while he will, but it's not as frequent as I would like it to be.
Olivia is a big, bad kindergartner now who has boys already telling her she's smokin' hot (GOOD GRIEF), Alison has a crush on a boy named Ethan (therefore I automatically want to punch him in the nose along with the little rascals who think Olivia is hot) and she's growing up way too fast. She might need braces, she's getting acne and she is even giving me attitude once in a while. Where is this coming from? Don't give me this hormone mumbo jumbo. I know, I know, I took adolescent psych so I should have been ready for this. But no matter how many chapters, articles or lessons I read, it's still my daughter and nothing prepared me for my innocent sweet little girl turn into a preteen overnight. I don't even want to think about the day she goes to prom or graduates. Heartbreaking.
Okay so now to get ready for his arrival. Trying to buckle down on my calories, boost up my exercises, speed on runs and toning in yoga and pilates. Hopefully I'll be back on here soon to say hooray! I lost 10 pounds. Or probably be more like, Dangit....I only lost like 2! Bleh! Either way, I can't wait for him to come home. I miss my bestest friend who is also my husband. He's amazing.
Peace....Nessa.
