Those that personally know me can attest that I am usually a pretty open book (for lack of a better phrase). Today I am going to be just that- open. Kyle (my husband) and I are preparing for him to head off to another deployment in Afghanistan in less than two weeks. The deployment date is now daunting. It goes without saying that if I had my choice he would be safely home every night but that’s just not the situation right now. Simply put these next few weeks (or rather 6 months) will be rough but I am making myself focus on all the blessings beyond the not so fun times. Today’s post features a few of those. What things make you overcome with happiness?
The color teal * Fall outfits (aka a reason to wear scarfs) * Gorgeous flowers * Girls nights * She Said Yes * I do * Mountain hikes * A vanilla latte * A savored dessert * Pretty curls * A new idea * A new friend * A forever friend * Happy husband * Love and grace
I will be counting down the days until this moment!
