I've always known I that I have a really good husband. He does dishes, he takes out the trash, he even helps bathe the kids. But honestly, I didn't know how good of a husband he really is until now. In case you didn't know, he is working in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He's gone for weeks at a time. He's been gone 3 weeks today and we aren't sure when he is going to get to come home. Right now, we'll be lucky if we get to see him at Thanksgiving. The kids and I are living in an apartment in Victoria. We thought we'd wait it out until May and then decide if the kids and I were going to move up there. However, neither of us anticipated how difficult living apart would be. I can honestly say, it stinks. Brad can barely even talk to the kids without choking up. I'm used to him working a lot, but not seeing him for weeks at a time is not good. The kids miss him terribly. Tyler says something heart-breaking nearly every day. The other day he told me, "Little boys need thier daddy's." It makes me cry just to think about it.
So, it looks like we will be moving in December. I honestly am praying that we don't have to move, but we are about 95% sure that it is going to happen. We love Victoria and when we moved back from College Station we told ourselves, "Never again! We will never leave Victoria again." So this is a strange place to be in. Over the last couple months I've realized that the most important thing is to keep our family together and it looks like the best choice will be for us to move. I'll keep you posted!
Other than that, all is well. Kids are growing and growing and growing. Emma and Tyler are doing well in school and Bowen loves his mommy time, although, when I say, "Let's go get Tyler." He makes a beeline for the door!
I'll try to update this more often and if we make the move, I'll be sure to keep this up to date. It will definitely be a journey!
