Good Morning campers!!
I sure have been neglecting this Blog huh? Don't really know why..I do know that my life seems to be in a bit of a rut these days...on the outside it appears that I have it all but on the inside...well..not so much.... I am in a turmoil about hubby's orders..to anyone who isn't on Face Book hubby got screwed over with his last orders..he was supposed to have this ideal job waiting for him when he got back from Japan..he would do that and then retire...well that all fell through and we have been waiting since February to find out where they were going to send him...he has 26 years in and our goal has always been for him to retire after 30 years in order to get the maximum retirement..so finally last week he found out he is going to Guam..for 2 years without me....I will be able to fly there to see him and he will take his 30 days leave and come here...probably once every 3 months or so but it means 2 lonely years ahead for both of us...the good thing is they have put on his record that he is to have orders to Jacksonville on his return..this time we have made sure it is in his record!! We have done this before and can do it again but for some reason it is affecting both of us hard...hubby has worked hard on the house and yard while he has been home and I know he is going to miss it..also his Dad is getting frailer by the minute...our son who graduated in May has yet to find "himself" ..I am bored being at home and will definitely need to find a job to keep me occupied.... so that's whats bothering me...and as always I feel better getting it off my chest!!
Now to list some of the POSITIVES in my life...
1.. My fabulous hubby and the sacrifices he makes for his family...
2.. Blogging...it does help!!
3... Great friends online and off...
4....Lazy summer days by the pool...
5.....The Library!! I have been reading a lot this summer!!
6...... Spending time with hubby...he only has to go into work when he wants right now!
7.......My BFF is still going to come visit me in September!!
8...... Girls weekend at the Beach coming up...yay!!
9.........Airconditioning..it has been soooooooooo HOT!
10.......... All of you reading this..I know the numbers have dropped but I appreciate those of you hanging in there with me!!
Make it a GREAT week!!

I am so sorry this has happened and you are going to be apart. I guess there is not much you can do except make the most of it and look forward to the time he is home again and can retire for good. Hugs.
Good morning, Lyn.
I could only think of one phrase when I read about your husband's orders, "that sucks!" Oh I would be madder than a hot hen! I am so sorry this has happened, and as long as you keep posting here - I will be here to encourage and support you while he is away. I don't do FB right now. We will just have to pray it will be a quick two years!
I think you have the right idea about getting a job while he is away to keep you busy.
Hey maybe I need to take your son and my daughter and bang their heads together because she is kind of in limbo too. She graduated last year, but doesn't really have a plan to do anything right now. She tried taking two college courses and failed the last one because of her lack of trying. It is frustrating. I even suggested her going into the military and then had to go slap myself because that is totally insane, LOL.
Anyway, we are here for you lady! Blessings to you and yours!
Forgot to tag for comments!
Well that really does suck.
You're almost at the finish line and then you won't have to worry about him leaving again:)
It's not uncommon for kids this age to be kind of lost.. It's a big world out there and having to enter it as an adult can be overwhelming. I'm sure he will be fine.

I can see how that would affect yo both. I've never been in that position but I would hate for \keith to be gone for so long.
love, Angie, xx
Thats a tough one. I am sorry it is working out like that. I hope the time passes quickly. Thank your husband for the service he does from me. What sacrifices our soldiers make. I bet it is so hard.
That would be something heavy on your mind for sure. I'm glad you have some good things to count as blessings, but 2 years is a biggie. I hope somehow things change and you can spend more time there with him. 'On Ya'-ma
You have a lot on your plate..wow, sorry the last years of duty are not in your favor...wishing you guys the best!
xoxoxo
Hi Lyn well what can I say I feel so sorry you are to be seperated for such a long time.Yes he has done wonders to your home it is beautiful and a credit to you both as are your family.I feel for Ryan too it's a hard age to be at I think.Wishing and praying for you all that everything you wish yourself comes true.You both so deserve it.I too would like to say thankyou to your Hubby for the great job he has done over the yrs.It's not the same living alone I can vouch for that,but somehow we do cope.Sad many have gone to Facebook you are all missed.Take Care God Bless Kath xx
Sending you a big cyber hug!
Make the most of the time you have together and look forward to the time when he is home for good. Thinking of you Louise xx

Hey Lyn,
I'm sorry about the fact that your husband will have to leave you for a little while. I am sure that the time will pass by quickly and he can be home with you again. I'm sure he will miss you as much as you will miss him.
In other news I too have been reading books by the dozen. I have been working and spending time with my family and keeping up with my blog which is hard sometimes. I love all of my blogging friends such as yourself.
Anywho...take care of yourself and I'm glad your still around.
((((((((((((((lyn)))))))))

Lyn,
Thats awful about all the changes your family is going to be making.I pray that God turn things around.And for his Dad.Life is to short.I want to to tell you though Theres a video phone.My Pastor bought hinm one and His wifes Family. Its $100 and $29.99 a month and its live video screen so You can talk every chance he gets.You just need internet for both of you. to plug it in.ts a local number so there no minute are time frames.Just go to this website and click products and look at the video phone.I pray you get everything worked out. htpp.//whypaymore.acnrep.com Leet me know what you think. prioritypimentel@aol.com
Lyn, I'm sorry it didnt work out quite the way you both wanted; I'm sure now that the children are grown, you are both looking forward to spending so much good time together.
Keep busy and continue to look forward to when he's home for good

There's nothing else to say but that sucks! I hate that life isn't fair...it's one of Neil's favorite things to say to me because I just hate injustice and if your hubby was supposed to get that position he wanted and they told him he could...then he should have gotten it! I'm really sorry Lyn!
