Coronavirus-Our new normal

Hello all! When I last updated we were getting ready for a deployment. Well, Husband was so close to deploying (we even said our goodbyes and he took off on a plane). During that time the coronavirus epidemic exploded. So that deployment was postponed. Everyone thinks I should be happy when I tell them the news, but we're still facing the same deployment, just some unknown time later. That means saying goodbyes again, pushing back plans for baby #3 and the anticipation of everything we already went through. I am grateful B's home and healthy, so I try to stay positive and hopeful that maybe it will get cancelled.

Like everyone else, we now spend our days at home 24/7, with the occasional trip to the grocery store. Both boys are doing really well all things considered. I was anxious in the beginning, but I'm acclimated to the new situation by now.

Things that have helped me during quarantine:

Talking to friends & family on FaceTime, Zoom & Marco Polo.

Working out using Openfit & free Youtube videos.

My Roomba (hahaha).

Daily walks & just being outdoors. Vitamin D!

Redecorating, organizing, a lot of DIY's/up-cycling. The stuff I enjoy but rarely have time for.

Gratitude!

Happy New Year! Life has been full of extreme highs & lows lately. My faith in God has allowed me to push forward & see the positives & blessings. My computer completely broke, so I was without one for a while. I have a new laptop now (thank you Cyber Monday). We've been preparing for a deployment as well. This will be our longest time apart. I plan on using this blog as an outlet for my feelings during that time. Hopefully I can connect with other Military Spouses or anyone going through similar situations during that time.  I'll start with a brief summary of each month since I last blogged. September Ben had work in another state for a whole month. I had a breakdown a few days into it and Ben's Mom came to the rescue. Camden was teething and Shane was testing limits as usual. Thank god we are over the teething for now. Testing limits not so much! Camden graduated to the next class at Gymboree. I bought this cap and gown on Etsy.  October Ben&
