A little of this a little of that.

I'm happy to say that our house is completely unpacked and has been for a while now. I still have some little touches here and there to get it how I want it. Once I have things like I want them then I'm going to do a video tour of it so everyone can see our new home for at least 2 years. For those of you who keep asking, Roland is not able to do a re-enlistment at this time because of all the new regulations and what not so he is going to get an extension on his contract through his 10 year mark. At that time if he is able to pick up SSgt then he will re-enlist for at least 2 years if he is not able to pick up then he will not be able to re-enlist and we will be moving back to Ohio near our families.

The girls and I have been back in Cali for about 3 months now. I thought it would be easier to be this far from my family and friends since we had already been here once and I knew a few people here this time around. Well I was wrong, I almost think living with my family and friends in Ohio for a year made leaving that much harder. I find that I'm even more homesick then before and even lonelier then I was the last time we were here. I'm trying really hard to get through this feeling and not let it over take me but I think being pregnant and so emotional is making it that much harder. I hate that we can't just go and visit Ohio whenever we want or my family come and visit us because it's so expensive.
Of course I'm sure it doesn't help that my husband is working so much and in the field all the time we hardly have time together. Since the girls and I have been here he has been working until 5 or later nightly and then he has gone to the field a bunch and has a whole month of field training coming up. I feel like I'm holding my breath daily just waiting for him to come home and tell me they are deploying again. I'm really trying to enjoy this time we have together for now and just not think about when he might deploy again but that is easier said then done.
