I'm rounding out the second week with Chris being gone, and life in this tiny little village is finally starting to settle down. When I arrived home from saying good-bye to him (very sad day indeed!), I found some beautiful yellow and red flowers sitting on my front door step from my friends in my bible study group. I am proud to say that those little guys are still kickin', and they put a smile on my face every time I get out of my car. Those flowers are a constant reminder of the support system that I have here. One of the things I love the most about being a military wife is the sense of community and togetherness that I feel each day. We're all in the same boat. We all miss our loved ones & worry about them while they're away. We all get lonely sometimes, and have moments where just about everything seems to be going wrong. But in return we all have each other to lean on, and talk to, and celebrate with when those wrong things suddenly turn out okay. It's like a family, and I am thankful to be a part of it.
These past two weeks have been spent making a new routine for myself. I must say that cooking for one has been the hardest thing to get used to...good thing I have all those sweet friends to come over and help me eat the left-overs!! I'm hoping to start traveling a lot more during the summer, I've had a nice long lull in my travel plans and I'm starting to get antsy!! It will be hard to travel to new places without Chris, I so love experiencing new things with him, but I'm excited to spend some time with the girls and just do "girly" things. I can't really see Chris lounging around all day in Spain trying to catch up on his tan! So I'll let y'all know how it goes, and I'll be sure to post some pictures of my adventures :)
Cheers,
Amy

Hi Amy! Is this your first deployment? Either way, I think the first and second deployment for Curt and I went very quickly and although it doesn't seem that way now, I assure you that he will be home before you know it. :) Traveling and tanning in Spain sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time!
Man...Spain? That sounds rough!! How long is Chris gone for? I've got you guys in my prayers and know he will return safe and sound!
Hugs and Love from Texas!
That is probably THE cutest picture of you and Chris I've seen so far. Have a great time traveling, and know we're thinking of you both. We miss yall!
