Almost time to go!

So in less than 2 weeks we leave to head down to Mississippi. That also means SHORTLY after Eric will be home! I still have so much to do. I have to finish my Welcome Home sign, and get Conner's made. I gotta sort everything so I don't forget to take anything. Like our signs, banner, camera, and video camera. And Conner's welcome home shirt! I have to get the Taurus from my Brother and get it checked out, and the oil changed. I still need a car seat to put in it. I'm trying to decide on one but haven't decided on what to get. I don't want something to expensive because it won't be used much, but I also don't want something that's cheap and not safe for my Bugs. I also want to get a DVD player so if Conner is awake he can watch a movie or something. So much to do! It's creeping up on me FAST, but that's okay! I am excited!

Eric will be leaving Africa in a week or so. Then he'll get to Spain and be able to call more. Since they moved from their camp to a hotel he can't really call and it sucks, but at least he can get online and write me a message on Facebook. He's doing good, just getting anxious.

Conner is doing great. I can't believe how grown up my baby is. It's exciting and sad at the same time to watch him grow and change so much. Eric is going to be completely shocked when he gets home and realizes how much he really has changed. Pictures and phone calls just don't do it justice.

I'm so thankful for all of my support this deployment. I've had a few rough patches and luckily had a couple of good friends, and awesome parent's to helped me through. I got to take a cake class with my friend Megan and that was so much fun, and it was a nice couple hour break. Conner got to have lots of fun, and do more than MS has to offer. I am going to miss all my friends up here so much. I know it's going to be a big change going back down there. Last year was miserable because I didn't have any friends to lean on. This year will be different because I realized how much Eric does for me, and means to me and that he is all the friend I need.

2011 will be a year of change for me. I really want to work on the person I am. I want to learn to be more thankful for what I have, and not dwell on what I don't. I want to be thankful for the few good friends I have, rather then the crappy ones who have left me behind. I just have so much to work on and I hope that 2011 is the best year yet for my beautiful Family.

So that's, that. My Husband is almost home!!
