About Me

My photo
I am Kristen, a college grad from Oregon State (GO BEAVS!!!). I have been married to my College sweet heart since June 2008. We had our miracle baby October 2009 in which baby and I almost didnt make it through it. Since then we have been healthy and living the life of a military family. I decided to start blogging because my husband deployed and wanted to document the journey that the deployment brings on the home front.

No Contact

I know I have been pretty bad as far as keeping up with my photo journal and blogging. Its been pretty busy and the days are flying by *WHICH IS A GREAT THING*. I start my new Lead job on Friday which will make the days go by even faster since I start earlier and then go through the night routine with hayden (eat, bathe, jammies). I am a little nervous about starting the new job but I know that I will do fine as soon as I get the swing of things- oh yea and I have to get my CDL so I have been reading a  little every day on the school bus (WATCH OUT WORLD).

Hayden has been great- a little wild at times but thats to be expected. This weekend was great with only one or two Pull my hair out moments. Had Emily and Kallie over for movies and dinner Saturday (which was awesome!!!). Sunday was a little tough- we had our last SKYPE call with tony for a while (1. because he was hitting the ocean for a week 2. the internet on the Cleveland is quite non existent).  We got to text a little monday morning before they set out but the messages stopped around 10am- leaving me kind of empty feeling the rest of the day. I kept checking my phone on and off in hopes of a text (but in the back of my mind I realized that there wasnt going to be any text or calls). Monday night was very hard because I didnt get my good night and I love you that I am used to- guess I have been spoiled, and honestly thats one of the hardest things is not getting that simple sentence. (AND NOW I AM CRYING AS I TYPE).

Today has been a great day- was a rough night with hayden waking up at 3am and not going back to sleep till 5am but hey what can you do besides grin and bear it. Weighed myself this morning and I met my weight loss goal of 137!!! I honestly didnt think that I would ever get back to pre baby weight because my body has changed so much!!! Also went for our morning run and did amazing- ran 3 miles with a 10.4 min mile :) We are getting ready to run our next 5K April 9th so we have been pushing  pretty hard! SO PROUD OF US!! Having the routine of running in the morning really makes the rest of the day go by so fast :) because I dont have time to sit and dwell on the empty house.


I have learned to take it one day at a time and not worry that my house isnt up to my standards and that my laundry will sit clean and folded in the basket for a week or two (AS LONG AS ITS FOLDED ITS OK WITH ME)  and that chicken nuggets and a veggie for dinner saves me when I didnt have time to cook in the morning- adjustments, adjustments, adjustments.........
Oh yea this is tonys child through and through!!!
