Another good day

Wow! What a Monday! They are busier since the girls get out of school early. Accomplished quite a bit today though. Got a work out in, hung out with the little man, and made it to a softball game! Add it all up and it makes for one exhausting day!!
But it is so awesome to be surrounded by family. Not biological family, the family that is created out of necessity! You bond with those around you because they are experiencing or have experienced the same things! Our Army family is amazing and it continues to grow with every passing day!
Growing up in a small town, there are few places that you feel unwelcome at. Having that feeling everywhere we have been is phenomenal! Leavenworth and Texas well I would run out of days of the week before I ran out of family either place. Ft Carson has been a learning experience to say the least. However, after two years it looks like we have found our groove!
The kids and I went to the championship softball game (759th Military Police vs The DFMWR guys). Well it was storming when we left the house. I half expected them to cancel the game, we would have been very upset! We took a detour and said hello to one of our other great families (the Wards). We got to the game late, but it was like we had been there all along! Snacks were passed around, seats were shuffled and we were caught up on all the big plays.....It was great to feel at home!!
Overall it has been a great Monday! Got to hear his voice, even though it makes me sad it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know he is ok! We opened an email account for the oldest, we hope it will help with her coping skills. As hard as it is on us grown ups, we have no idea how hard it is on our little people. Right now we are focusing on lots of good rest, healthy meals and plenty of safe places as an outlet! The staff at Soaring Eagles Elementary has been phenomenal! I am looking forward to volunteering at the school this year!

It isn't any easier this time around. I am still sad that he is so far away. I am sad that another year will go by that he will miss. But we will get through it. We have faith in God and faith in each other. We have amazing people in our lives both near and far. Above all, we love each other and our family.
